I had taken this train from Bandra Terminus to Bilimora in 2S coach in Feb 2024 and listing some tips based on my experience:

1. Coach Condition: The LHB 2S coach in this train is very comfortable and has the seats facing each other with large leg room. This should be the ideal arrangement and Railways should produce LHB 2S coaches with this layout. My coach was D3 that was 2018 made but I noticed that all the 2s coaches had this same arrangement. One charging point was available in each bay

of 6 seats. The top luggage rack was wide enough to accomodate a medium sized trolley bag.

2. Cleanliness and Maintenance: The coaches were very clean and well maintained. The toilets were in satisfactory condition from BDTS.

3. Punctuality: This is a punctual train which gets good priority on the route. We departed BDTS with 8 mins delay (due to Chain Pulling on departure) and reached Bilimora with a delay of 13 mins. It hits very good speeds after Virar.

4. Food: I had taken home cooked food and hence did not try the food onboard. There is no pantry but there are vendors selling various items like Idli Chutney, Medu Vada Chutney, Veg Cutlet, Khaman, Chai and Water.

5. Ticket Availability: This train has good patronage and hence ticket availability might be an issue on Holidays, Weekends and Mondays. If you book about 15 days in advance, the tickets should be easily available.

6. Unreserved Coaches: All the UR coaches are at the back end of the train. This being an intercity train, expect a lot of passengers illegally boarding the 2S coach and travelling in the corridor.

7. Railfanning: It is a nice train for railfanning while traveling in non ac coaches. It goes on a spree and hits high speeds after Virar. The track sounds during the speedy run by the LHB coaches are soothing. Usually gets a WAP-7 in lead.

Although there were unauthorized passengers travelling in the corridor of my 2s coach, this did not cause any issue or conflict during my journey. If you are traveling to Surat or any destination enroute, this should be your preferred train.

Have a safe trip.

Vivek

right now Intercity is running in heavy WL so they introduced clone Intercity 09055/56.
It's departure time from BDTS is good i.e. at 9.50 but departure from UDN needs to be changed from 16.15 to 19 or 19.30 because at current time of 09056, 10 mins after 09056 we have 12936 at 16.25 so a bery narrow slot of 10 minutes is there between 20902, ICE and 09056
09056 can easily reach BVI before 19426 if they keep departure time after 19.00. considering 09056 has lesser stops between UDN and Bdts than

19426.
