Journey Date:- February 10, 2018
First off, train starts dot on time from PF# 5; which has incredibly poor lighting, so be careful on that Platform people may hit you.
Coach Position is normally +/- 1 of whatever is shown on Coach Position Displays.
Food: Breakfast is Just HORRIBLE, especially the Poha which has a lot of stones; so don't eat it if you...
more... have soft teeth. Catering guys doesn't ask for your option in Breakfast so please contact him beforehand.
Soup is basically Rasam with lot of coriander leaves.
But Lunch is REALLY NICE, especially the daal and Paneer Dish; Lunch is loaded from Solapur and served quite later but it's quite filling for a normal person
Nothing is served between 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM so do have some snacks packed if you feel hungry.
Cleanliness: Okayish, toilets are normally drenched in water, soap dispensers have foam instead of soaps, no toilet paper coach is cleaned only two times, no cleaning of windows at intermediate stations.
Seats don't have headrest covers as promised in Swarn Project even overhead reading lamps don't work for some seats.
Room Freshners don't work.
Train can be late at intermediate stations but it's always on/before time at Secunderabad.
Stoppage time is also less for intermediate stations so if you have large luggage be ready to get in fast as people are way too slow in these things.

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, the date of the journey is February 10, 2018. So, the train starts right on time from PF# 5. But the lighting on that platform sucks, man. Watch out, people might bump into you. The coach position is usually around +/- 1 of what's shown on the coach position displays. Now, let's talk about the food. The breakfast is straight up awful, especially the Poha. It's got a bunch of stones in it, so if you've got weak teeth, don't even bother eating it. And those catering guys don't even ask for your preference, so make sure to talk to them beforehand. The soup they serve is basically Rasam with a bunch of coriander leaves. But let me tell you, the lunch is bomb! Especially the daal and Paneer Dish. They load it up from Solapur and serve it a bit later, but damn, it fills you up good. Oh, and there's no food served between 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, so pack some snacks if you're gonna get hungry. Now, let's talk cleanliness. It's okayish, I guess. The toilets are usually all wet, the soap dispensers have foam instead of soap, and they only clean the coach twice. And forget about clean windows at the intermediate stations, man. They don't even bother. The seats don't have headrest covers like they promised in that Swarn Project thing. And guess what? The overhead reading lamps don't work for some seats either. Talk about disappointment. Oh, and the room fresheners are useless. They don't work at all. The train might be late at the intermediate stations, but it's always on time or even early at Secunderabad. And they don't give much time at the intermediate stations, so if you've got big luggage, you better hustle 'cause people are slow as hell with that stuff. Alright, I've given you my two cents. Feel free to share your thoughts too. Comment away, my friend. Hope this helps 🙂
