Coach:-B7
Travelled on 30/5/19.Here are my reviews:-
Cleanliness:-Awesome.Bedding was having much comfort.Toilet was clean.Ac cooling was very good.In short,one

can get a nice sleep.
Food:-Please carry our own food and drinking water.Reason being is there's no pantry car avaible.
Punctuality:-Slack humsafar.It was trailing the 2 hours late running 19262 pbr mfp express upto adi junction.
22924 reached adi 40 mins late,brc 1 hour,st 15 mins late,bvi on time.
Occupancy:-By the time train reached vadodara it was full.Due to summer time many people are booking on this train because they don't get the ticket in bdts jamnagar bdts and 22945/46 saurashtra mail and the other.Otherwise normally train goes empty.
Railfanning:-Nothing much however, witness the traction change at ahemdabad junction from diesel to electric.Vatva alco takes the charge from jam to adi and wap7 of brc take charge from adi to bdts.The train is hog from adi.
any point is wrong/add please comment!!!

After exploring ahmedabad,time for exploring rajkot!!
So took the 19119 adi smnh express upto rajkot junction,in ac chair coach which was from South east zone!ЁЯдг
Travelled on 30/5/19.Here are my reviews:-
Maintainence/Cleanliness:-Average.Some seats were broken.Flush wasn't working properly.Cooling was good.Charging points were working.Coach was too old though,98 made.
Punctuality:-Gets
...

delayed enroute.We reached rajkot around 3.40 pm,delay of 30 minutes.However,slack run ensures it will arrive somnath around 8 pm.
Food:-Its better to carry food from ahmedabad station itself as once it departs adi,hardly any vendor will come.However 2 person will be there at adi will come to your coach and will ask if you want any food,if you say yes he will provide you a veg thali of rs 150.Pic attached
Railfanning:-One of the best train.If possible opt the general coach.Dont forget to see the semaphore signal section,between surendranagar and wankaner station.Train gets looped here for crossings.
Occupancy:-Full.Majority of people gets de boarded at rajkot.So if u wanna get a seat in g.s,reach adi before time to get a window seat.
Avability:-Tickets are available normally even before 5 6 days however book in advance if any festival is there.
Any point is missing/wrong/add? please write in comments!

Posting a train tip after a long time!
This time about the legendary gujarat mail!
So,i visited Ahmedabad city for exploring and therefore took the 12901 mmct adi gujrat mail from bvi to adi.
Coach:-2nd ac tier(A1)
Date:-27/5/19
...
more...

Here are my reviews:-
Cleanliness:-Absolute top notch.Bedding was excellent.Washroom is clean,and western railways has maintained this train in a excellent way.Must say,one of the cleanest trains in mumbaiahmedabad sector.
Food:-Unfortunately,neither food nor drinking water is provided.Reason being is there's no pantry car avaible.Please carry your own food.Outside mumbai central and borivali,plenty of food stalls/hotels are avaible.Would be better if you eat early and get a good sleep!
Punctuality:-You can always beleive the punctuality of this train.The train arrives ahemdabad majority of the time,or sometimes before time.It has halt at maninagar,so 70% passengers deboard here,due to better connectivity to reach ahemdabad city and therefore this train can get late to reach ahmedabad.
Railfanning:-Nothing much from this train.However,this train skips vapi station,one of the trains to skip it.Witness the overtake of this train by 12267 mmct rjt durunto express,and the mmct-indb/ndls/jp durunto express along with 22903 bdts bhuj ac express, except 12267 which is daily,the latter trains runs on biweekly/triweekly,depending on the days.
Occupancy:-Current avability was avaible in 2nd ac!The train was empty actually,i got actually surprised how the most demanding train was having a current avability.
Now talking about this train,its the first choice for gujrati people.Please book this train in advance incase of festivals like navratri and diwali.Rest days tickets are normally avaible.
Any point is wrong/add/remove? please let me know in comments!

Took the train on 29 march 2019 from bgkt to bvi.Coach:-B6.Here are my reviews:-
Maintainence:-Toilets was cleaned and beddings were replaced at bgkt
.
Punctuality:-Has a good amount of slack.Vapi arrival was 20 mins late,borivali 1 min late.
Food:-Veg
...

thali was given at a cost of 120 rupees.If you are a foodie lover,pack foods from stations like aburoad and palanpur.
Railfanning:-Since it covers the marwar adi junction in night, nothing much is avaible.However,12952 overtakes this train just before surat.
WDP4D link from BGKT to ADI and ADI to BDTS BRC WAP4/5/7
Occupancy:-Train was packed from BGKT itself however current avability was good i.e 350!
Avablity:-Avability is good,for during festival time book early
Any point is missing/add/update? please comment!

For a long time,i wanted to explore the "NWR" zone known for its double stack container freight services and WR known for its high speed actions.My wait for this finally got over as i took this train,the 19043 bandra bhagat ki kothi humsafar express from borivali to bgkt.
Travelled on 28th march 2019 coach:-B16.Here are my reviews:-
Maintainence:-Excellent top notch maintained by western railways.The usb ports,charging points,personal lights for each berth were present and was working in a proper condition.Personal light here means you get a light in your berth incase you don't
...

wanna switch the main light.See the pic for more reference.Toilet was well maintained too.
Punctuality:-Can be called as "Slacksafar".It arrived ahmedabad junction 25 mins before time,palanpur junction 30 mins before time and bgkt 5 mins late.So you can rely on this train it terms of punctuality.
Food:-You don't get much option in daytime.Pantry guyss said they sell only veg biryani at a cost of 60/-.So it is advisable to pack food either from abu road or palanpur or ahmedabad.Breakfast is avaible like cheese sandwich,tea,coffee,veg cutlet etc.
Occupancy:-During my journey,80% of the total passengers onboard this train de boarded at ahmedabad junction.The train was empty thereafter all the way to bgkt.
Railfanning:-Dont hesitate to take this train.This train is an alternative to those who wanna see double stack container through aravali express,ranakpur express and all but can't get tickets,take this train.Till marwar junction (this train skips marwar junction)you will get a good amount of double stacks.
Traction:-It gets BRC WAP4/5/7 till adi and adi to bgkt sbi/bgkt wdp4d.
Avability:-Normally ahmedabad people take this train.Also,due to flexi fare,this train has a good amount of current avability.For example, during my journey current avability was 400 seat!!So if you are a last minute traveller who has urgency, take this train but with extra fare!!
Any point is missing/wrong/u wanna add? please comment!
