I Must Say I Was A Bit Skeptical Ever Since I Had To Book Tickets In This Train Since Both Tebhaga Express & Gour Express Were Waitlisted
But I Must Say It Ain't A Bad Train. But The Train Is Dealt In Bad Manner. It Runs Excellent. But Too Much Slack Spoils Its Average Speed. We Reached Farakka 55 Mins Before Time & Then Reached Malda Town 45 Mins Before Time...After Malda, Train Stopped Eklakhi Jn For Near About 30 Mins Due To Crossing With A Passenger Train. Still It Reached BLGT 5 Mins Before Train

Surprisingly you got the food. I ordered twice (multiple times in past) but the vendor used to call me 15 min after the departure of the food. So I trust station vendors only or else take fruits along with you.

Well....this is a good train to travel in....
_____________________________________________
Great punctuality, great priority.
.
This train is a good day train for people travelling from Howrah to Azimganj, as the train has limited halts and

will arrive before time.
.
During my journey from Howrah to Azimganj with my fellow Railfans, this train arrived at Katwa almost 15 min. before time, and finally at Azimganj around 31 minutes before time.
_____________________________________________
Maintenance is satisfactory, and cleaning staff do clean the train well during morning time.
.
Maintenance of the toilet can be improved though.
_____________________________________________
You should get tickets in AC Coaches without much hassle, as not much crowd is there due to odd timings of the train on a end-to-end basis (night train is preferred).
.
The T.T.E. is active from Bandel onwards only.
_____________________________________________
HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY !!!!

A stoppage at JRLE would be gainful for rail and passengers since demand is high in this station.
