Had travelled 4-5 times in that train 2 years ago, it was great. But this time up and down both the trips were like nightmare. Toilets were as dirty as it is in other exp trains. S4 and S5 had only one flash working out of eight. 2 out of 8 had mug in it. Cleaning staff arrived only 2-3 times in the coaches but demands tips from the passengers at the end of the journey like its their birth right. :(

Never Opt for 2A in this train. Only book tickets in 2A if it's available or WL under 10. Anything above GNWL 10 in 2A of this train is risky affair. Saying from my own experience.
But SL and 3A have good occupancy and waiting clearance chances.
For 3A, till GNWL 20-25 is a safe side and in SL you can go till GNWL 50-60. You can get RAC.
