◾13017 is placed on Platform No.7 of Howrah at around 05:20 AM & has parallel departure with Ranchi Shatabdi Express from Howrah (RFs can capture it)
◾13017/13018 gets good patronage. Hence prefer reservation if u are boarding from intermediate stations.
◾Neat and clean coaches.
◾Toilets are always clean.
◾Food
...

available from vendors.
◾Charging points present in most of the coaches.
◾Good train to travel to/from Bolpur,Rampurhat.
◾13018 may get delayed after Rampurhat but has aggressive run after Barddhaman & makes up the delay.
◾If 13018 gets very Late, it provides halt at Khana Jn. so that passengers headed to Durgapur/Asansol side can board Asansol MEMU Pass.
◾Passengers headed to Sagardighi Power Plant can get free bus facility from Sagardighi Station to Power Plant (and vice versa), but the bus leaves to STPPL within 15 mins of arrival of 13017 at Sagardighi...Hence u have to walk fast to designated bus stop or u can also board a Toto/tuk tuk from the LC gate to bus stop for Rs10
For return journey,bus is also provided [link bus services also provided to DN Hazarduari exp at Behrampore, DN Kaviguru exp at Sagardighi, UP Malda Intercity at Khagraghat Rd. and DN Rampurhat-Howrah Exp. at Rampurhat (this one on Saturday Only)]
◾Originally 3017/3018 Howrah-Rampurhat Ganadevta Express, later extended to Azimganj.

A very punctual and fast train. Has very limited stops till Bolpur, so might consider going to Bolpur by this train during morning. Very rarely gets late and has a fantastic run till Barddhaman. Just take a window seat and enjoy the wind.

If I had de-boarded the train at the bridge to capture the King, the resultant picture would have been worthy of a Cover Photo in any RF Page in FB.

The Up train gathers moderate crowd in UR coaches from HWH and the 2S coach seems alright. But the down train, especially during the peak season, overflows with UR and unauthorized passengers in reserved coaches. In my case, I nearly had a fight with the pax who were disagreeing to get up from their seat. TTE doesn't appear in heavily crowded reserved coaches until the crowd gets a bit low. Doesn't even care to check tickets of people who are standing inside a 2S with no valid tickets.
Food in this train is provided by local sellers, you will find ample options of snacks in both direction ranging from alu chop, samosa, jhalmuri, masala muri, boiled eggs, tea and coffee. Bananas and
...

other fruits are also sold.
Maintains good speed and punctuality. Sometimes trails behind Black Diamond and catches it at BWN, but Black is given the foremost priority and Ganadevata halts at BWN for some more time.
