Almost half the coaches are normal LHB. Nothing unique to justify paying higher fare.

AVOID. Everything is bad. Travel only if you have no other option.

Excellent experience. Punctuality, food, security, cleanliness, railfanning- all top notch. All coaches, except S4 and H1 have now been replaced with regular "Utkrisht" Yellow ICF coaches and that is very disappointing. Time to replace it with LHB with unique livery.

I travelled a week back and had a nightmarish experience. Train was rescheduled by 2 hours and reached banaras 13 hours late. All my appointments got cancelled. There was no food and water and the staff was helpless. Whenever it reached a station, there was a fight among passengers at the station vendors. I had kids with me and god only knows how we managed. The only good thing was that the coach was cleaned from time to time and patrolling by RPF staff.

I had a very average experience travelling in this train. Disappointing that almost half of the humsafar coaches have been replaced by normal LHB coaches and have no extra services to justify the premium. Train started late and was delayed all the way through. Cleanliness was good, frequently patrolled by RPF staff and the food was palatable. I did have the pleasure of seeing some high speed skips and overtakes, but these are few and far between. Recommended if you cant find seats in Gorakhdham.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    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...
