* I traveled this sunday from mas to nsl, would like this share some experience.
* loco was RPM WAG 7 from mas to ru from there diesel upto nsl.
* train ran almost on time to half hr delay all the way to aurangabad, which was expected to be covered because of the slack provided.
* But because of 3 crossing between awb...
more... and nsl it reached nsl 1 hr late, 3 trains were sachkhand, nsl-narsapur, and tapowan.
* train enquiry shows just 5 min delay at nsl but actual delay is 1 hr, so need not to believe on nets.
* there was shortage of water in the train from dhone itself, faced catering issues too.
* peoples very complaining that they are forced to book tkt from mas to nsl to get confirm tkt as it has GN quota, rest stations dont have.
*so overall it is good alternative train to 22601 for shirdi.
