If you are travelling in 2AC, get food from MAS itself, till RU you wont get even water bottles. Since its weekly express, starts on Sunday Morning, they all wake up after RU. No Panty, E-Catering is available in HX. Water is plenty, toilets are good.
This is old ICF Racks, hence you may feel bit dusty.

They will provide Blanket, Betroll...

Travelled in this train form Chennai to Nagarsol on last Sunday. Train departs at platform 11 at Chennai Central. Train departs dott on time. Old Wap1 AJJ done the honors til Renigunta. i under estimated this old horse Engine but it shows its real power till Renigunta. From Renigunta till Aurangabad it was atleast 1 to 1 and half hours late.
But due to huge slack time it reaches Nagarsol only five minutes late. Good no of passengers departs at Aurangabhad , Nanded, Purna JN, Parbhani Jn.

100 passengers are heading to Shirdi. I reach shirdi by call taxi(Share taxi u can say Rs 100 per person). It takes one hour and 30 minutes to reach Shirdi not bad.
Special mention to TTR whose make sure that non of the unreserved passengers board at reserve compartment by doing regular checking till Auraganbad. But still few passengers board in reserve coaches and paid a hefty fine for that.There is no Water problem till it reaches Nagarsol.
Excellent catering facilities is available till its destination we can get whatever we want to fill our stomach eventhough it does't have Pantry car.
Toilet was not bad i would say it was decently maintained.
Taken few photos will be upload soon.
