Passenger unable to get tickets in Durga Puja from Bangalore to Howrah in Duronto Exp or YPR-HWH SF Exp can try this option:-
22818- Mysore Howrah SF (Due to odd timing at Bangalore it doesn't get filled up).
Or you can try via/chain/buffer shown in IRI /search/136/0/1

Very bad train. 3 toilets provided . Sweeper didnt even listen to our orders . He cleaned the coach next day . The windows were dirty and when i told him to clean it he told me that he could not clean it as it was beyond his limits . Lunch given after 1pm on day 2 . The coach was violently shaking throughout the journey and got tilted before jajpur. The vacuum pipe had broken . An unscheduled halt at soro and markona got us delayed by 1 hr . I say does anyone expect this when travelling in ac first class which costs over rs 6000 . Overall its the worst duronto i have ever travelled in . The dirtiest tables were provided . So i recommend that if you want to travel from bangalore to kolkata take shatabdi to chennai and acsf to src or coromandel to hwh...
more...
. It will take more time but it will be worth your money .

One I traveled in Navjivan , ADI MAS , during summer, and that too in SL class, and I must have consumed 20L water in that journey ... when it comes to survival one will have to buy at any cost.
