I travelled this train at 14 May 2023 , so let me share my experience.
So first time I travelled at First AC ( usually I travelled at second AC) with a family of four.
1. Cleanliness:
Coaches...
more... and curtains were old, Staircases was dusty at first . OBHS staff comes and clean at time to time. Even toilets were clean.
Overall Rating=8/10
2. Punctuality:
Train departed at RT . It was good till BSL. After BSL it stops at Savda. I took a afternoon nap ,after 2 hours when I woke up, the train was still at Savda IDK for what reasons. I complaint it in Twitter , then I got a quick response from BSL div. Then the train started to move. So gradually the train was 2 hours late. Train reached KYQ at 5:10 ( 1 hr 40 min late) but thankfully I got my connecting train of Avadh Assam Exp which was quite behind LTT KYQ exp.
Overall rating=7/10
3. Food :
Day 1
Breakfast was good I had Paneer pakoda. On lunch I had Veg Thali(1st pic). It was bad except dal. Rice was not cooked properly. Matar Paneer was horrible. Sabji was literally nothing except few pieces of aloo. On dinner I order Veg Biryani(2nd pic) & Hakka Noodles(3rd pic) from Itarsi via E-catering. It was quite good and better than the lunch I had before.
Breakfast=9/10
Lunch=2/10
Dinner=8/10
Day 2
I had Cutlet at breakfast and it was awful. On lunch I had Rajma Chawal and Soyabean Sabji with Roti and it was average. At dinner we all had Maggi Cup Noodles and it was quite tasty.
Breakfast =3/10
Lunch=5/10
Dinner=9/10
Overall rating=6/10
Considering the food they served , I highly recommend you to take fruits and nuts.
4. Ticket availability:
Even though it's First AC it was a peak time and I had to book 4 months prior. After booking we didn't got a seat number , we got it during charting.
For Second AC there are 4 coaches , it might be difficult so book it 4 month prior.
For Third AC there are 14 coaches, you will easily get it.
Overall rating=8/10
5. Railfanning:
It was good. While passing through kasara ghat , I was literally standing near the door. After Igatpuri , train reaches the speed of 110 kmph. Between MMR and JL it reaches 130kmph. Between DDU and DNR at reaches 130 -135 kmph. After that it reaches like 90-100 kmph.
Overall rating=10/10
6. Safety:
Even though no RPF is present, the attendants takes care and ensures that no unreserved passengers boards the train and sit near the doors. The train has a technical stop at Baruni but stills the attendants closes the door and told us that we can't go out. The train has less stops as compare to the other 3 between LTT-GHY route.
Overall rating=10/10
I prefer this train between LTT-GHY route . It has less stops and it takes less time as compare to the other 3. 15945 has more stops in Bihar. 15647 takes the longer route via Kiul, Malda and 22511 don't even ask , the punctuality is horrible. I hope the train extends till Dibrugarh .

1. Cleanliness:
The coaches and curtains were old, and the staircases were dusty at first. However, the OBHS staff came and cleaned them from time to time. Even the toilets were clean.

2. Punctuality:
The train departed on time, but after BSL (I don't know why), it stopped at Savda for a long time. I complained on Twitter and got a quick response from BSL division. Eventually, the train was 2 hours late. It reached KYQ at 5:10 (1 hr 40 min late), but luckily I caught my connecting train, Avadh Assam Exp, which was even further behind LTT KYQ exp.

please wait...Translate to Hindiमैंने 14 मई 2023 को इस ट्रेन में यात्रा की थी, तो मैं अपने अनुभव को साझा करूंगा।
इसलिए पहली बार मैं First AC (आमतौर पर मैं second AC में यात्रा करता हूं) के साथ चार लोगों के परिवार के साथ यात्रा कर रहा था।
1. साफ सफाई:
कोच और पर...
