I had travelled 9 - 10 years ago in this train . One time from Pune to Goa and one time Pune to Nizamuddin. But it's a request don't feel bad if I say something little bit about this train , because when I travelled by this train I noticed these some things while travelling by this train . This is a good train from Pune to Goa but not good train from Pune to Delhi . Because when I travelled in this train last time we had to do Tatkaal booking since me and my family decided to travel by train from Pune to Delhi. Almost the booking was full , The route covered by this train from Pune to Delhi is very long , also LR requires at DD . In case of food , food of this train was not so good was OK . I didn't face...

any problems while travelling by this train , but one more thing I observed by travelling by this train is the arrival time at Pune is too much early at Midnight almost @ 3 :55 too much earlier than Darshan Express so according to me no one can afford much this train due to timings , services etc . If suppose if a passenger is travelling by this train from Pune to Delhi so he would need to take Ola / Uber cabs to Pune Station since here because at this time Rickshaw , Busses are not availabIe . I recommend you all people who are coming to Pune plz don't travel by this train much. If you want to come to Pune from Delhi pls take 12263/64 NZM - PUNE Duronto Express or take flight from Delhi to Pune , these two opinions would be better. Also this train would be good to pune passengers to visit Shirdi , by transfering via Daund , Ahmednagar , Belapur.

I have seen Poor and Lower middle-class people spend the whole night on Railway Platform and Waiting halls at Pune Station to board this train at 4 am in the morning. And moreover, this train has very minimal seats for the Pune quota. The majority prefer the Evening departure Jhelum express.

Jhelum ka accha advantage voh hai ki Pune se Atleast shuru hoti hai toh Reservations toh atleast mil pati hain.
