ARENCO catering foods are available from platform vendors. eg lemon rice, curd rice etc. I have tried both and they are really good. Food purchased at around 12 pm was good even at 7 pm in travel. Prices are nominal about 18/- or so. But the vendors try to fleece passengers.

I guess it is also closed or got struck in the renovation work on platform. During december 2015 i have walked to both ends of platform 1 looking for hotel tollywood or bollywood. Except a small platform shop that sells some varieties, there were no options for food.

A1 coach was a 2014 rehabilitated (if im right coach number is 98055). Curtains were clean , with all clips. coach was neat. no coackroaches or rodents sighted. AC was maintained really good. Never felt inhaling stale air or headache in 50 hrs journey. In all the four toilets in the coach the lower attachments were found dislodged from the toilet sink. so irrespective of cleaning the toilet appeared dirty. God knows when it goes for overhauling, gets noticed and repaired.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
