1. Speed/Acceleration: Train set has superb acceleration and braking like its predecessor v1.0. Is fit for 200km/h on the same lines.
2. Comfort: Seats not as comfortable as v1.0, cushioning is less ( bsb and svdk VB) also suspension looked a bit less cozy than its predecessor at high speeds...Joints between two coaches occasionally made screeching sound like a MEMU train. So some cost saving has been done in this aspect.

Interiors: All good in this aspect. lighting/decoration/sensors/window panel/toilets all good. Space management is also good.
4. Timing: Though its slowest VB of its breed, finds its difficult to make time. Though its initial phase and some more observation days required. If RB doesn't monitors it well SECR not want to make it an exceptional case of on time running.
As this is officially first 130 mps train in bsp durg section, controllers will take some time to settle with this increased mps here in this belt.
Though courtesy half an hour of extra slack over and above the usual slack for 130 mps train will manage timings somehow.
[Felt that announcement volume made by LP/guard is a bit low, should be increased. Announcement done in Marathi/Hindi]
5. Occupancy: Lukewarm from bilaspur but good from Raipur and Durg. Its officially peak festive time for IR, so some more observation days required in this regard.
6. Catering: Not experienced in this new offspring except tea and biscuits, so can't be judged. Newspaper and water bottle provided to all passengers whether opted for catering or not.
