Travelled on 8th from Bangalore to Mysore.

Typical VB experience, nothing different from the current ones running.

It's a good addition though in the route.

Food: not worth the price, not worth the hype at all (I have heard a lot about very avg food provided in the 20607/8 VB). I thought of trying food on this one since it's pretty newly launched. But I resonate the feedback I have heard.
Not trying again. PERIOD !

Punctuality: On time, who can deny VB a right time arrival since it's the latest IR baby.

Cleanliness: Satisfactory

Staff/Security: Good

Agree
I agree on the point that Shatabdi feels better than VB.

I have travelled end to end from MAS to MYS in both VB and SHT few times. VB's seat is as bad as Indigo's & the washrooms start smelling an hour into the journey for some weird reason I can't get hold off. Their constant onboard announcements are another reason to give thumbs down. I definitely got annoyed by the repeated advertisements played on loop along with constant voice about upcoming stop even though the train has just left the either

of the terminals. I can't say much about food since I have never opted for food in both.


SHT's in comparison are zen-travelling. No fancy announcements, washrooms remain clean throughout the journey, comfortable seats.

only drawback is LHB couplings tend to jerk more when the train starts or accelerates and that's with most of the LHB trains.

I have a ticket tomorrow from MYS to SBC. I booked it in CC and allotted C1 as the Coach with seats 11 & 12.

This train doesn't have CC and B3 (3AC) works like CC b/w Mys-Sbc. How is the seating classified if some one can help ?

ticket shows 11 as Window seat but ideally in 3A - 11 is an Upper berth while 12 is lower

Re# 5950272-3              
is it really true that 12841-12840 or vice versa doesn't have RSA with the same rake serving as return service ?

Yesterday's Coro reached MAS today at 6:40pm and todays Mail is rescheduled to leave at 8:30PM..

Re# 5950272-4              
It indeed has RSA. Today's 12840 departed after 12841 reached.
Basic cleaning was done and No Pantry Car available. TTE has informed passengers no food through PC is available. Very weird since the 12841 wasn't delayed by much and still no food was picked up for the returning 12840

Re# 5992670-6              
Agree.. even ICF coaches are well maintained in the SR, WR.

SRC's maintenance is notorious. A premium train is fitted with an old coach which isn't maintenened as well.
This is my experience from last 14-15 years travelling in this route.

A passenger train had detailed just leaving kotavalasa junction. 2 coaches and the loco seems to have snapped out of the track. No injuries or fatalities. 12703 was stuck at VZM for over an hour. 12245 reached VZM 25mins before and left at 10:20 before 12703. After kantakapalle there's a speedy restriction in place due to the derailment.. we however have crossed the site and moving as usual towards BZA
