Let me tell you a really interesting and mouth watering, lip smacking and most delicious of the treats you can ever experience within any intercity sort of train service.
.
If you ever happen to travel by Ispat Express between HWH-TIG, HWH-TATA, HWH-KGP or KGP-HWH, TATA-HWH, TIG-HWH, please do me a favour and order yourself Chicken Pakoras from the PC service guy.
The pakoras
...
more...
unlike others, are rolled in an onion, tomato and spinach batter with great chicken pieces(boneless ofcourse, if you guessed otherwise) and are 4 in pieces(if you are lucky they can pack a fifth one in it,I got so) served with Tomato Ketchup and chillies(if you are a fan of it).
[FOR VEGETARIAN GUYS OUT THERE, PANEER OPTION IS ALSO AVAILABLE]
Cost of the treat is ₹50/- and believe me, it's nothing when you count the burst of flavours in your mouth, and gulp the lean piece of meat with awe.
.
I was travelling between TATA-HWH in 12872 Ispat Express and was hungry from morning only when Somanko Da suggested me to take one for myself in the train and glad I did. I would have shared pictures however I lost them somehow.
.
Hope you all try one for yourself whenever you get a chance.
.
Thanks

One of the worst maintained trains of SER, Ispat never reaches on time in any of the stations after TATA. The train's cleanliness also gets hampered thanks to its 700 km journey throughout the day. The chairs of the 2S coach are also painful and it is enough for you to give neck spasm. If you are returning to HWH, then do not hesitate to alight at Santragachi as this train gets stranded at Tikiapara carshed for a awful amount of time. However, the food of the train is good, you should try the milk tea, aloo bonda and bread pakora which the pantry boys serve as snacks.

Freight traffic after TATA never lets this train to be on time. Cleanliness is a big factor specially in the return journey as SM is not at all proper.

In the return due to heavy traffic after Kharagpur towards Howrah...due to availability of only 1 no. Down line at evening time from kgp to hwh, as both middle and up line after 4 pm in evening gets for running up trains ..so only 1 down line is available for running all down trains including emu, memu, express, sf, premium trains like duronto, humsafar...so Ispat gets delays after Tata and majorly after Kharagpur towards Howrah......4th line Survey between Kgp to Src is underway....hope project gets Approval in comming Budgets and SER will complete it in 4 yrs from then.....So in future after 4th line between Kgp and Src and 3rd line between Tata and Kgp...this late will go
