Never opt this train beyond journey of 200-300 km. It will be a hell-like experience for you, especially for the bus-like seats where you will feel suffocated. Loads of unreserved passengers get up from Jaleswar, Balasore and travel till Bhadrak and Cuttack. Apart from these inconveniences, train maintains a good speed all through its journey and dont miss the delicious alur dom sold in Kharagpur Jn. You will surely love it. As for the down train, it regularly gets stranded at Tikiapara carshed and makes up late of 30 min- 1 hour.

Travelled this train on 11.8.19 from HWH to PURI. It was announced that pantry car coach for that day would not be available. So, always keep in mind that and make your own food arrangement. One rake has C1 made in 1999. The condition was pathetic & the seats were uncomfortable.

Its the most preffered train of this coastal area people especially balasore. Even though ECoR is running a bangriposi-bbs intercity to reduce some balasore load off dhauli,but still crowd never reduces. Both these intercities get huge crowded at balasore. So i would suggest u to do advance reservations before boarding. There is hardly any fare difference between general and 2S ticket. Dhauli comes already jam packed from howrah.
