Travelled on this Train on 20-12-2019 from Whitefield (WFD) to Howrah (HWH) on RAC ticket and Unfortunately had to share the Berth in Sitting with my Co Passenger for almost the Most of Journey . I was travelling on Coach B9 .
The train was running almost after 10-12 days due to cancellations for CAA NRC Protests .
The train started almost after 1:45 hours late from BNC and reached WFD around 12:55 pm .
Thanks...

Then at Chennai Outer there was a good amount Delay and there were multiple halts between Perambur and Tondaripet . Dinner served was good in taste containing Rice Dal Roti Veg Curry pickle and Curd .
Train reached Vijayawada around 2:00 am more than 3 hours behind Schedule . Had a 5 min stop at BZA instead of 10 mins scheduled stop .
However the train made a super fast run of 350 kms in just 4.5 hours and reached VSKP at around 6:40 am which is 1.5 hours late . Train departed VSKP @ around 7 am .
Breakfast was served around 9 am in between VZM and CHE consisting of Bread and Veg Cutlet . Vending Machine made tea was sold till 9:30 am .
The train was maintaining a good speed and an average of 2 hours late throughout . Lunch was served just before Khurda Road around 1pm consisting of 2 Rice Dal Chicken Curry Pickle and Curd .
Train reached KGP around 7 pm which is 2.5 hours behind schedule . I got a separate berth for me from KGP to HWH . Vending Machine Tea and evening snacks were sold before KGP only .
Dinner was served around Kolaghat around 8:15pm however I skipped the dinner since I had plans of having dinner at home in KOLKATA after getting down at HWH .
This train skips Santragachi unlike other South Eastern Line Trains .
We reached Dasnagar at around 9pm and expected to reach HWH maximum by 9:20 pm . But Unfortunately the Train was delayed outside Tikiapara and Howrah for a good amount and finally the Train Reached HWH Station ay around 10:15 pm which is 3:45 hours behind Schedule .
Some Notable Facts :
1. Tea Coffee option is very limited since only Vending Machine made Tea is sold and separate Tea Coffee is not sold on the train .
2. Relying on outside vendor for Tea Coffee or for other Food is not advisable since the train has limited stops and makes long runs of around 4-5 hours continuously .
3. Train has 6 Charging Points and side lower and side upper berth also has charging points .
4. Cleanliness of Toilets is not so good due to limited stops again .
5. My coach had Cockroaches and as per the OBHS since the train was locked and shunted outside SBC for 10-12 days hence there were cockroaches in the coaches .
6. The train maintains a very good speed all along and can makeover the delay if given a chance .
7. Lunch and Dinner has only 2 options Chicken or Veg . No option of Fish or Egg .
Finally few Pics which I Took of the Train (along with 1 pic showing cockroach in the train 😀 ) and a video of 12007 Chennai Mysuru Shatabdi Skipping WFD at MPS which I shot during my wait for my Humsafar .
