Passengers who are traveling from NCR to Kolkata, if finding W/L tickets or high dynamic fare from NDLS to SDAH/HWH in HWH/SDAH RAJ and SDAH Duronto, can opt for a ticket from Loharu to SDAH in SDAH Duronto with change of boarding point to NDLS. The train remains absolutely empty before NDLS and chances are pretty great that you would find tickets at less fare compared to NDLS-SDAH as I have shown in the screenshots attached below.
Applicable for 3A and 2A only.

One of the worst Duronto I have ever taken. People travelling to West Bengal from Delhi should rather prefer 12302/12314 or 12306 against this train.
Punctuality: 1/5: Though it left New Delhi on time, but from very then it pulled up a every station late. Finally when the train arrived at Sealdah it was late by whopping 3 hours 11 minutes. After crossing Burdwan, this train was literally giving unscheduled stoppages at almost every station.
Food and Catering: 2/5: Dinner and soup was excellent. But the major shock came in the

morning when the staff didn't provided us with the bed tea. In Rajdhani, if the passenger is sleeping the staff would wake him up and would give him the morning tea plate. But he actually skipped us, because we were sleeping. He did the same with the other passengers too. The breakfast was served when the train was crossing Gaya, and mind it, it was too pathetic. My plate didn't have butter and the tea kit. The staff was least concerned about the service.
Cleanliness: 3/5: The train was cleaned till Mughalsarai and after that the toilets were overflowing and stinking badly. Even after complaining to the staffs, the OBHS was least concerned about cleaning. At last at Dhanbad the train was cleaned.
Security: 5/5: In this matter I would say the RPF staff and the Attendants did a great job. At least in this matter this Duronto is good.
Staffs: 3/5: The OBHS and the Catering Staffs were the least concerned. This thing needs to be improved.
Overall: I will rate it 2/5. I have traveled in 12274 also, but this Duronto is too much pathetic. I was getting RAC in 12306 at that day, but instead went to this. And I regret my decision for this. If anyone wants to travel from Delhi to West Bengal, I would suggest him/her to take 12302 then 12314 then 12306 then 12274 and then 12260

Carry some food or something to eat with you for Day 2 (after breakfast meals types) on this train, as the train normally gets late and you will start feeling hungry after 10am and they dont provide anything other then light breakfast in the morning on Day 2.

It might have started late so dinner might have shifted to lunch... in regular cases in 1-2 hrs delay they dont provide anything, and 1-2 hrs delay is common, n by that time one will surely feel hungry, as it will br 12-1pm.... and you had only breakfast thats it.. so do keep something to eat around that time.....

Re# 1553785-10              
Yes thats what am saying for 1-2 hrs delay nothing is provided...
so in SDAH Drnto if it gets delayed by 2 hrs. it will reach aroung 2-2.30pm, and they wont provide anything after breakfast aroung 9am or so, so you will feel hungry, so keep something to eat during that time....
in this train 1-2 hrs delay is normal....

They did give veg biryani at 1:30 when this train got heavy late due to blasting of tracks by the maoists. The quality was good. It eventually reached NDLS 9 hrs late, and I missed my connecting train for Chakki Bank.

Hmmm. Our train was at 2 mins distance from the blast site when the blast occured. The people were even saying that our train was the target. And at that time, the train was running 2 mins late. We had a very close shave that night.
