A superb location for railfanning to watch high speed diesel action close to 100 kmph. There are no RPFs at this station which makes it a paradise for RF.

Can be reached by taking passenger bound to Daund / Solapur / Manmad or by PMPML buses from Hadapsar.

This train has a good food service from Pantry Car, which you can trust. Although prices are on a bit higher side than standard IRCTC meals.
Pic 1: Veg meal thali ₹.130 (Day 1 lunch served after Igatpuri)
Pic 2: Veg Chowmin ₹.50 (Day 1 evening snacks)
Pic 3: Non-Veg Chicken meal thali ₹.150 (Day 1 served after Khandwa)

4: Non-Veg Egg meal thali ₹.140 (Day 2 served after Buxar)

Apart these there are umpteen number of snacks prepared & sold like samosas, bread cutlet, egg pakoda, aloo vada, omlette, soups, tea, coffee, etc

Food is good in taste & quantity, which is lot better than catering services offered by IRCTC over so called premium trains

I recently traveled on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express and would like to share my experience with the sleeper compartment. Unfortunately, the sleeper compartment was extremely crowded, with many passengers with unconfirmed tickets or general-class tickets occupying seats that had been prebooked by others. This caused a significant inconvenience for those who had reserved their seats in advance.

However, what was more concerning was the behavior of the ticket collector. The collector seemed least bothered about the situation and was reportedly accepting bribes from passengers to allow them to travel in the sleeper

compartment, further adding to the overcrowding. This not only caused discomfort to passengers but also raised safety concerns.

Additionally, the washrooms on the train were not maintained well, making it challenging for passengers to use them.

I strongly recommend that the railways take action on this issue, including ensuring that ticket collectors do not accept bribes and prevent overcrowding in the sleeper compartment. Also, better maintenance of the washrooms would be highly appreciated. It is important to prioritize passenger safety and comfort, and I hope the necessary steps are taken to improve the overall travel experience on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express.

The seats of double decker are not very comfortable. Luggage space is poor in case of upper and lower decks . Same holds true for legroom. The coach feels cramped up and suffocating in case all seats are booked (rare , but have unfortunately experienced the scenario). A normal LHB Chair Car is much better .
The rake is a mix of Uday and double decker livery coaches . The windows on the lower deck in old DD coaches were full of scratches. Food trays were loose and dirty .

basic cleaning is done at SBC , the rakes are in dire need of maintainance .
Keep this train as a last resort to travel on SBC-MAS Section .

    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...
