Train Travel Tips
Page# 10 travel tips <<prev
Pathetic condition h1 coach and first ac toilets. One one available even to clear dust bins. Worst experience for such a classic name " Karnataka express". This natak will definitely make some passenger sick
Best train for going SHIRDI for all north indians as well as south indians. You will reach at KOPARGAON then go by auto/taxi to SHIRDI But make your plane before 2 months because less chance to get conform your waiting ticket in this train.
People from North got another good option in the form of Train No,22456, Kalka-Shirdi sf express(biweekly service). This train will reduce the pressure on 12628 at least upto some extent. This will help people who wish to travel by 12628 from Delhi to DD , Solapur, Prasanti Nilayam, Bangalore.
Ya, another train is also available for delhi peoples 04011/04012 SNSI NDLS SF AC spl...
yeah its a gud option too ; moreover it has pantry car.
But this is limited service which already terminated on 27th.

another good option to go to shirdi for north indians is jhelum express which is daily running train. it comes from jammutawi and has maximum number of halts compare to other trains, it has pantry car also so good option.
Getting confirmed ticket in Jhelum is a nightmare (as it is the most demanded train in PUNE-NDLS section) forget tickets from KPG to NDLS it is very difficult to get tickets from PUNE to NDLS itself
All 6 rakes of KK exp and SBC-MAS-SBC Mail comprise of coaches manufactured in the last 3-4 years and 98% of reserved coaches (SL,3AC,2AC,1AC) have charging points in each bay as a result. Even the older ones are POHed ones and they too have charging points in each bay. Only around 2 or 3 coaches among the 114 (19*6 rakes) do not have charging points so go ahead and test your luck :)
P.S: SWR does shuffle coaches here and there sometimes and the replacement ones too are newer ones having charging points in each bay.

On the other hand there's SR. TVC Mail. MAQ Mail. Nilagiri. Kaveri. TN. GT. None of the biggies have any traces of charging points. The discussion doesn't even go to the low priority ones.
ICF dishes out so many coaches to SR every month but God knows where those go. Last week I saw Kerala's rake at AGC and some of the SL coaches were new.. was a pleasant surprise.
2626's all six rakes have been revamped in the last 4 years. TVC divn has invested all the fresh roll-out it received in changing it's rakes. While what's left with other trains like Thirukkural, DDN KCVL and the like are old rickety shabby coaches. PGT divn is poor as ever receiving all the rejected ones. BBQ is infamous as the one stealing all that SR gets, but where does the stolen stuff go? Poof.
Very nice AC1 coach, 2nd ac also very clean! Got dual diesel loco at MMR! Double power! Haah! But deboarding at kpg
