Traveled on 12246 on 10 June and returned back on 12245 on 25 June. Was onboard AC 2 Tier (A1) on the both the trips. To be honest, it was one of the worst Duronto Train I have ever traveled on. First thing first, I will break up my trip report into the following ways where I will rate it out of 5;

Food: 0/5. Poor Quality of Food. Totally Poor. In Veg, there is only one option which is Paneer Butter Masala (As per the Caterer), however as per the passenger
...
more...
it is more of four pieces of paneer in some kind of oily-yellowish curry. There is no other option. Yes, for 12246, in dinner one can get Mix Veg, but that's quality is far worse and inferior than the Paneer. In Nov-Veg, one can choose between Egg and Chicken. Better go with the Chicken, because Egg Curry is more of like two eggs in yellow watery oil curry. No taste, nothing. Atleast, the chicken curry was tasty. In the entire journey, you will get three variation of dal. In first day lunch a watery dal, in dinner, dal looks more like a paste and in next day lunch, the dal is more of a like a yellow water. If they serve Roomali Rotis, then yeah its okay, otherwise if they serve you normal rotis, better not to have it. In place of tea, they are handing out hot water with tea kit. God know how one is going to make a tea, via hands ? No cutlery is provided. Only one plastic white spoon. Ice Creams are served hot, fully melted. During my return journey in 12245, in lunch instead of ice cream they started serving out Soan Cake. And their excuse was that the fridge was not working properly.

Cleanliness: 0/5. Specifically for A1. During both course of my journey and also during my journey in 02245/02246 Duronto COVID Special, each time the A1 was some old coach. Seats were worn out, the toilets were dirty . Howsoever, OBHS cleans it, but the old dents would not got. Seems like were never refurbished. OBHS was sitting all the way in the TTE seat and were seldom cleaning the gallery of the coach. However, during my return journey in 12245, A1 was making some very weird humming noise. First I thought it must be from the EOG. However, it was different. When I went to H1, there was no sound such. Additionally, heavy jerks were experienced throughout the journey.

Security; 1/5. Not a single RPF personal I saw in the entire journey. During each stoppage, vendors and beggers were coming inside the train. I have never experienced the same while travelling in premium trains such as Rajdhani and Duronto.

Punctuality: 5/5. Atleast in this matter, it won't upset you. I had to catch 12341 Agniveena (Bidhan) from Howrah. And my only concern was the evening suburban traffic. However, it pulled in at time. So no complaint on this matter.

Ticket Availability: 3/5. It is the only premium train with the shortest time travel between Kolkata and Bangalore. If you want to book tickets in Sleeper, better book it in time and that too in ARP period. SL gets booked much fast and runs jam packed throughout the year. For AC classes, you can get ticket even if you book 20 days prior to your travel. However, for AC 2, it gets filled much quicker as compared to AC First and AC 3. It is better if IR augments 12245/12246 with one additional AC 2 Tier.

Railfanning: 5/5. I think much is written about it. But in an all, a good train for for rail-fanning. The daylight crossing on the second day is absolutely the best, specifically skipping some of the major stations of Odisha such as Bhadrak and others.

Conclusion: The train was best of its kind, before COVID-19. Everything was good. However, post COVID-19 everything has changed. Food quality to everything. Earlier only Caterer use to ask for tips. Now OBHS and Attendants too ask for "Bakshish". The way things are going, it seems that after few years, even Guards, TTE and LP would also be asking for some Bakshish. Linens were terrible. No blankets were provided. I have traveled in ER's premium trains and in SER's premium trains as well. But to be honest, ER's premium trains have far much better service that SERs.

Terrible food throughout!
There's apparently no egg curry and the non-veg option comprises two bits of what seemed like a starved chicken neck and spine (Yuck!)/ Rice was undercooked and dal was bland. On two occasions the soup was sickeningly sweet (some tomato-pumpkin mix)
The only thing edible was sweet curd (night only) and the ice cream (dinner and lunch next day). Breakfast was also tolerable (standard omlet / veg cutlet options). However the ice cream was served 30 mins after the trays were taken back and by then it had melted,

plus plenty of littering on the floor from ice cream cups,
A real disappointment after paying Rs 3200 (for 2A)
I strongly suggest at least one packed meal from home (maybe day #1 lunch)

What a lame excuse...every time you come to a financial problem you become a burglar!!Tip is a thing which comes voluntarily not a forced one..Tip is not their bread and butter..I'm not against their job but I want the government to pay them handsomely so that they don't indulge in this kind of extortion of money(believe me they literally abusing persons giving them money below their claim).I hope you are a man of generous nature who use to tip tgem those green and red notes but I'm little pissed off by paying dynamic pricing and servicee charge tips to the government..Regarding lodging complaints I mean to cater the daily plight of those passengers who really felt irritated to these things..In my compartment 85% of the people around me were reluctant to pay those tips as they were also behind the same judgement.

I personally believe that treating them more humanly and taking their service with a smile is more likely than buying tge service by oayinv some 50 or 100 note..

I disagree because they have no rights to ask for tip. When we travel in Duronto/Randhani, the cost of food is included in the ticket so they have to provide the food to us. Moreover the quality of food provide is more or less substandard in majority of the trains (I am saying this by checking the comments given by many for rajdhani/duronto trains). Also, I read a message written on train not to give tip (don't remember in which train).

I go to hotel and generally put Rs. 10 as tip

Hahaha...are you out of ur mind!!! you are just promoting corruption on an open forum. Vendors are paid by Railways and they are not supposed to ask for any tip from passengers neither the passengers are supposed to pay any Tip and this is the rule and if anyone like you who defies it by paying a tip is just promoting Corruption and Malpractice and you are just branding this to publicize ur generosity!!! Have never heard such a lame argument like yours in my whole life.

Why you even paid Rs. 10? It's their duty to serve the passenger and for that they get a salary, they are not doing any kind of favour to us. You should have lodged the complaint regarding this issue in the Complaint Book of TTE and Pantry Car Manager. Reporting the Corruption is the duty of every responsible citizen.

Absolutely agreed that - Tip is a thing which comes voluntarily not a forced one. So, DO NOT TIP them at all. I have said this before and I am now saying it again. "I want the government to pay them handsomely so that they don't indulge in this kind of extortion of money(believe me they literally abusing persons giving them money below their claim)" - GOVT? They are perhaps employees of a contractor and not GOVT directly.
"but I'm little pissed off by paying dynamic pricing and servicee charge tips to the government" - fight with case with the GOVT / RLY authorities not the waiters.

"I read a message written on train not to give tip" - So DO NOT GIVE TIPS. Does anyone force you?
"I go to hotel and generally put Rs. 10 as tip but waiters never complain so why should waiters in train complain" - Hotels on LAND are different. How about AIRLINES charging Rs.50 or more for a HALF LITRE water bottle in mid-AIR at about 35000 ft above earth? Similarly, how about waiters in trains asking for TIPS (asking , but not forcing) for a tip on trains that runs through forests, barren lands, etc?

you DO NOT WISH, DO NOT PAY - Simple - BUT I just said DO NOT ruin someone's life by escalating the case - just because he (waiter) has chosen to serve you as a waiter on a train.
If you have to fight for a cause - then look at your neighbourhood and you will find many causes, perhaps better than this one. All the best.

Hey dear, you said this - "promoting corruption on an open forum" - I am not promoting any corruption. If you choose, DO NOT PAY ANY TIP at ALL. All you guys have perhaps missed that line. DO NOT PAY - that is what I said. But - just to show off - if you wish to pay and pay Rs.10/- in 2016, you are just giving alms and not tipping. If you are that kind of a person WHO can actually pay TIPS - then, and ONLY then - I said - PAY handsomely. NOT that ONE MUST PAY. DO NOT PAY if you feel it is WRONG. DO NOT PAY. Its that SIMPLE.

Hey, hey, hey, I am not promoting this TIPS culture, I have time and again said - DO NOT TIP at all. But if you choose to do so, then DO SO handsomely. And then, a BIG SHAME on this - "You cant believe how rudely these hooligans are behaving with a solo lady and when we all united and started revolting they just left the scene". - This is exactly where YOU kind of guys are doing nothing. Absolutely NOTHING on trains. Someone, talking rudely with a LADY co-passenger, and you LEFT this so called hooligan scot-free? SHAME ON YOU and your co passengers. YOU must have caught these guys who misbehaved with a lady and handed over them to the RPF. You are making a mess of TIPS on trains, when you could not complain about someone (or more) misbehaving with a LADY passenger. This is the problem in...
more...
INDIA. People like you DO NOT act where and when necessary. But people like you keep ranting the same lines time and again. Shame on you that you let those so called hooligans were let off because you were more worried about the TIPs than that of the safety of a LADY co-passenger.

I do pity on you on certain things..first of all you don't konow how to join in a debate in an open forum..maybe that's the reason why you chose to call me "hey,hey,hey".I believe in giving respect to each and every person and hereby I said that some people tip others so that they can take undue rights from them or rather can ask them to bear their tantrums (I even saw people giving their stale tiffin box to wash and then tip them for 50/-) .. Secondly you are bounded by some social boundaries and I had my belief that I can think above these social statas like Gender,Class etc that's why I protested against the entire passengers of the compartment rather than solving the plight of a single lady..(though the lady was also strong enough to shield her own defense)..FYI we had lodged a complain in Hwh Grp...
more...
on tip of RPF and they asked us to give witness when they will take action in nabbing those...
Thirdly and most importantly try to think beyond certain boxes like Buying people by tipping handsomely..You live in Democratic country where an elected government collect taxes on behalf of you to pay that persons salary...Complaining is not taking his job away but to give or ratger teach him a lesson that Don't force someone for your benefit..Grow up and do some rational thinking because oneday when you give him a 500 note and he will say "sir diwali is near..itne se kya hota"

This ain't the US where tips are a mandatory part. Tipping is 'actively discouraged' by IR, then why do it. Infact, I applaud the OP for complaining to the DRM since they're already paid for doing their jobs[they are paid sufficient in the first place unlike the US whose custom you are trying to copy]. Tipping is an extremely im-perfect system and it had be good if it doesn't increase.

Re# 2002143-15              
The problem is that many vendors, waiters, janitors & other train staff 'demand' tips as per their rates as if it's some kind of entitlements that they have right to. The fact is that tips are a Colonial Raj Era Hangover that isn't going from the psyche of people doing physical work in eatery joints, restaurants and Indian Trains (esp Prestigious trains). Just as Kolkata restaurants in Park Street and other Central locations need to shed their Raj Era arrogance, similarly many IR train staff people also need to shed off these Raj era habits.

Tips or "Baksish" in Hindi is something that is supposed to be given voluntarily to staffers so the giving person should decide the rates rather than the recipient 'demanding' the amount. Once a beggar gave me back a Rs. 2 Coin in my hand since he refused it. It's not his fault since many foreigners in New Market and other Central Kolkata locations have spoiled beggars by giving them alms of above Rs. 100/- ... :(

Well in my case I handed out Rs 20 to the Caterer personnel but they were clearly unhappy... So doubled the amount and they smiled as if they had achieved everything in life. The bedding person and the sweepers were handed Rs 10 both... but thank God I survived...

According to my recent travelling experience, this train runs at good speed from YPR to KGP. It's only after KGP that it's made to reach late at HWH due to EMU Trains being given first passage :-p

Quality and quantity both has changed drastically over the years. And its getting worse day by day. On 15th May journey, in S5, dinner was served twice as the passengers complained to the manager regarding quality of dinner served to the passengers. Also catering boys behave rudely with passengers when someone denies tips to them.

The tip system has really gotten out of hand. I say we all should complain at the Railway portal each time someone asks for a worthless tip.
