Travelled recently from ANVR to GKP in this train and here are my detailed observations so that other travellers might benefit:
1. The Train starts from ANVR station, Platform 1 and the train is usually parked at the platform right from around 12:30pm even though the departure time from the station is at 3pm.
2. The Sleeper coaches are really old, not very well cleaned and travellers on this particular train esp in sleeper carry lots of extra luggage and fights over luggage space are very common. While the AC coaches are...
more... well kept, the condition in the sleeper coaches is bad. Such a prestigious train should definitely have much more cleaner, well kept sleeper coaches.
3. The train is one of the most punctual trains on the Delhi to GKP route with very very few stops. If you get AC, then this is definitely the train to choose. The train reached every single stop usually 5-10 mins ahead of its actual arrival time at the stations, atleast till GKP.
