Train was very clean when we boarded at Dadar. The on board staff also applied room freshner so the smell in the coach was good. Train was cleaned by the staff every couple of hours.

This train has rake sharing with 11035 so the tip mentioned for 11035 at UBL (Hubli) is applicable for this train also. I tried it myself and purchased Lemon rice and Curd rice. Lemon rice was ok but curd rice was looking like buttermilk rice. Still better than food offered by vendors.

Train has lot of slack so reaches stations early most of the times E.g. Miraj Jn, Yesvantpur Jn. Speed could be increased so that it reaches the destination early and overall journey time is less.

I've traveled once in this train and found charging points are available in every sleeper cabin of S2. So one can prefer a coach of S2 if he wish to travel in sleeper.

I've traveled between Tirunelveli and Erode and found the toilets are quite clean and in good condition also.
