Mai overall bata deta hu TIP
Alag alg batane me itna khas nhi h
1. #Food: no food available and no onboard catering, you have to buy it from station if available as after UMB for AC Pax its very difficult to get a water bottle even because coach is near Loco and you have to walk a long way from front to middle of station for vendors, even at JRC i walk for few meters to buy water bottles and then coffee, sleeper and ac coaches attached but shutters were

down after UMB..
2. #Seating: Normally many seats were empty in our coach, maximum were Army Personal very few family as well..
3. #Charging: 1 Socket each on side lower, 2 Sockets on Other side, well it is LHB hence you will found Charging sockets even in GS
4. #Toielt: Not very much clean but avg, well cleanliness in whole coach is upto mark, water available but washroom smells badly too
5. #RailFanning: not much after UMB because overnight journey and early arrival at JAT all dark outside, but if you are traveling from JAT to SVDK in any other train then thats good.. (we took Hemkunt from JAT-SVDK)
6. #Punctuality: Early arrival at UMB as well as Early arrival at Jammu.. nind kharab hoti h ЁЯШВ
Isko katra extension krne pe bhar k chalegi..
Booking tip already dusre tip me dia h..
Rest is that this train is best for Jammu bound people for early arrival not for katra ones, but if you didn't find any ticket in any train as i am hence you may do break journey too
Its arrival may be an issue but after arriving JAT few minutes later Hemkunt arrived here and we enjoyed the scenic views of enroute to Katra ЁЯШН
Morning arrival at Katra also make your Katra-Vaishno Devi trip as good schedule time
Thanks
