Punctuality factor is true but rest is false.

This Journey Turned Out To Be A Nightmare. The Worst Train Journey In Last 5 Years. It Maintained Its Schedule Till ASN. From There It Started Getting Delayed. Reached PNBE & MGS 1 Hr Behind Schedule. As We Woke Up In The Morning, We Learned That The Train Is Running 4 Hours Late. And Since Then It Never Behaved Like A "Super Fast". Reached NDLS At 12 Noon. Pantry Staffs Are Worst Of All. Through Out The Journey, They Only Offered TEA & No Coffee. Even There Wasnt Biscuits With Tea Even Though They Charged INR 10/- . Even On Board House Keeping Staffs Were Not As Efficient As In Gyaneshwari Or Gitanjali

Punctuality...

To be honest, I'd prefer 12303 over 12273, as 12273 has less stops but appears to behind Poorva throughout the journey judging by time.

(Duronto has 5 stops - Poorva has 23. If you think about it. it should enough time to overtake, but Poorva remains ahead throughout)

Duronto...

1. Probably the most punctual SF train between Howrah & Delhi. Though it takes significant time to travel but it seldoms gets as late as other trains do in NCR. NCR gives this train a respectable priority.
2. There is a massive demand for this train. Tickets fill up quicker than even 12381/12303.
3. There is a reserved '2S' coach that can be booked for reservation. However be advised such an arrangement exists only on paper. For all practical purposes this is a GS coach.

I don't think it's better than 12381. Think again. Trust me, you don't want to hear my experience in 12311.

This train is the best train for Railfans who want to see the ghats of Koderma. I take this train always from ALJN to HWH. Cleanliness was top notch. I did not see better cleaning service in any other train - similar to Rajdhani. Food was hot, tasty and fresh. And it usually arrives at HWH 20-30 minutes early these days. Speed is regular. It hits 130 kmph mark and occasionally I saw the maximum speed recording in my speedometer app 146kmph.
The Deluxe Express is still living up to its name.
Congratulations...
