I traveled in this train last week from NGP to MYS in 2A.
1. Train arrived RT at NGP and halted there for 1 hour for unknown reason.
2. Past BPQ, train was delayed by 2 hours which increased to 3 hours after MAS. I don`t think this train has much priority in SCR, SR and SWR. It was made to halt at remote stations and even as outer of remote stations.
3.

My coach was ER 2020 made coach whose condition was pathetic but better than adjacent ECR 2A and 3A. Water was dropping from lights and gaps between panels. I also spotted some black mold mushrooms at such leakages.
4. Both the 2A ECR coaches had waterfall at the attendant seat from leakages above. Since water was dripping from lights also, I couldn`t take photo and risk my mobile.
5. The 3A coaches has water dripping inside also but only at 1-2 cabins.
6. The sleeper was nightmare for pax as the entire floor has got puddles. As a result, the luggage was shifted to upper seat. Few people got slipped also.
7. Bread bonda, aloo bonda, Onion Samosa, tea (no coffee), chips, biscuits, chocolate for breakfast, Veg biryani, egg biryani for lunch and dinner, popcorn in SCR and medu vada in SWR.
8. In MAS, if you want good food, one can got to A2B to get Chapathi Kurma (60), Parottha Kurma (65), Veg Dum Biryani (120), dosa (20 each), idli vada. Only advisable to young people to go there.
9. Water KIOSK was open at all major stations.
10. Since it was time for chatt puja, train was empty with 20% patronage in 2A, 50% in 3A and 80% in SL.
11. In spite of leakages, OBHS staff did a wonderful job of moping and draining the water out in 2A and 3A only. They were helpless in SL.
12. BJU P7 (ex-GOMOH) from NGP to MAS then, ED P7 after MAS. BJU P7 has small BJU sticker pasted over GMO. Both HOG.
13. For someoe looking for non-veg @NGP, I ordered chicken curry and chicken masala from Gulab Restaurant for 160 each and the taste was excellent with ample pieces.
14. No kulhad tea available in any of the stations.
15. The patronage was significant less from Sanghamitra but Sangha coaches had better condition than this as observed from NGP alone.
16. The staff didn`t ask for tips or ask for feedback form at end of journey.


TL:DR
Opt for this train if you don`t have any other train from your hometown to destination. However for rail fanning, it is an excellent train. No 130 mps action observed in NGP-BPQ, BZA-MAS, MAS-SBC and SBC-MYS.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
