For RFs, this train is very good from kanpur to delhi... This train is overtaken by whole Rajdhani Gang in this section... So you can capture high speed Rajdhani gang in different different angle...

Recently I tripped from Varanasi(Manduadih)- New Delhi by 12581 MUV NDLS Express. and would like to share some views.
1. Availability- Though i made my journey plan at last moment and didnt got a seat in current availability. I would suggest people to take reservation in waiting list ticket.
In my case, I took a general ticket and shared seat with my friend till kanpur.
***Note-

People seeking reservation in this train from Kanpur, their is huge CURR AVL in both 3A and SL sections.
From kanpur i change my coach in AC compartment B4 till New Delhi.
2. Cleanliness- The maintaince and cleanliness of the train is really good, jerks are comparitively very less than other LHB trains, both Sleeper and AC toilets are very clean the difference in both was the presence of Butt Shower and liquid handwash in 3A toilets.
3. Punctuality- Departed Manduadih from platform pf no.8 5 minutes late, Arrived allahabad at pf6 half and late same in CNB at pf1, After that i dont remember because I slept😋 and arrived New Delhi on Time at pf16 which is towards Ajmeri Gate siding.
4. Catering- Food options are not available in the train, better to buy food from Manduadih, or Cumsome Kanpur(Not so good), Tea is available at Ghaziabad.
Bedding on the 3AC coaches was super fresh, neat and tidy, AC was working fine. I would suggest people to book in AC coach in summers if you are travelling in this train because it reaches new delhi in noon in extreme heat. Thankyou

Cleanliness- 5/5
Punctuality- 5/5
Fooding- NA
Bedding- 5/5

The worst thing in this train is that it have no PC, no onboard food and due to less number of stoppage local vendor food also not available, so better to have your own arranged food..
THANKS
