Recently travelled from Pune to Trivandrum and Vice versa in 3AC.

Punchuality= Very Good. It was right time or before time on most of the stations. Lot of slack time given to this train.

Food=
...

It was Good. Little bit overpriced but taste was Good. U can depend on Pantry food on this train.But most of the times they were not selling RailNeer bottle from Pantry.

Cleanliness= Pathetic. This was the major minus point in this train. Cleanliness was pathetic. There is no Onboard Cleaning Staff. In AC coaches lots of cockroaches were roaming, Toilets were stinking, All the dustbins were overloaded they were not emptied in the whole journey. Due the this whole AC coach was stinking as the floor was dirty and it was not cleaned.
As in Pune it has only 1.3 hrs trurnaround time. Cleanliness is done secondary. But from Kanyakumari end Cleanliness was pathetic.

Conclusion= If u have other options then try to avoid this train.

The train can easily start at 05:05 and arrive Kanyakumari at 18:00 PM and return could start at 05:00 and arrive MAQ at 18:00 PM - with PM at MAQ ! This could easily made SF - Most of the time are taken between CLT to ERS ! It runs with good speed from MAQ to CLT.

Will PGT ever get a Vande Bharat Express. There are trains to SRR and CBE.

Only PGT seems to be missing out. Is there any news about VB that passes through PGT. Maybe a SBC-ERS VB?

Re# 5833007-4              
LOL no way its gonna happen.

ERS can run its own train from ERS to SBC via Bangarpet , JTJ bypass not this train. You cant extend every CBE SBC train to ERS like intercity SF .
Also PM for this train is in CBE (luckily) so it cant be extended

Why is Netravati delayed? It halted 2hrs at Thivim yesterday.

Any idea for the delay?

If this happens after the RSA starts - Matsyagandha is screwed ! Unfortunately that is the only good train running end to end MAQ to LTT .

CR Rocket is already a joke. I see the only good train from Mangalore to mumbai is 22114 KCVL LTT express. I hope they make it daily.

Re# 6058847-7              
Correct. Train used to have this timing earlier when it used to bypass CBE - It used to leave at 19:30 PM and arrive TVC at 11:15 AM and return will leave fot on time at 14:30 PM ; Then later TVC div train slowed down bunch of trains by 30 mins and this train also got its perm route back via CBE so it changed to 19:45 and arrival at 11:45 ; Now they are just moving back to old TT when it used to be single line.
