Good train for GIMB Passengers to NGP/R/SBP/BBS.
1.Problems-
A. Is a weekly train with OK timings at Ahemdabad.
B.Tickets for Gandhidham/Vadodara/Surat passengers to Nagpur/Raipur/Sambalpur / Bhubaneshwar are NOT easily avaliable. Book them 4 month in advance.
C.Pantry...
more... Car not avaliable (However E-Catering avaliable at Nandurbar and Sambalpur).
D.Bad timings at Raipur (After Speedup in next TAAG it may be speeded up to reach Raipur by 0100 HRS)
2.Advantages-
A. Fastest connection between Surat-Bhubaneshwar
B.Cleanliness is just superb and Coaches are also newly made.
C.Rush of unreserved passengers is less in SL.
D.In return direction it covers a good amount of delay. (However 12993 reaches its destination delayed by 1.5 HRS).
3.Tips-
A.Carry your own food as on board vendors are also less
B. Book tickets 4 months in advance as RAC Clarence is also difficult in this train (Personal Experience)
C. Passengers could use E-Catering(served at Nandurbar)
D. Reaches its destination (as 12993) with a delay of 1.5 HRS. Return train is little bit good and a good delay coverer.
Thank you.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, listen up. If you're trying to get from Gandhidham/Vadodara/Surat to Nagpur/Raipur/Sambalpur/Bhubaneshwar, this train is for you. But beware of some issues. First off, it's a weekly train with decent timings in Ahemdabad. Second, tickets are hard to get, man. You gotta book 'em four months in advance. And there's no pantry car, but you can use E-Catering in Nandurbar and Sambalpur. Raipur has some messed up timings, but they might speed it up in the future. But wait, there's good stuff too. It's the fastest connection between Surat and Bhubaneshwar. The cleanliness is top-notch and the coaches are all new. Plus, there's not too many unreserved passengers in sleeper class. So that's a relief. And hey, if you're coming back, it's got your back if there's any delay. But be warned, it does arrive at its destination 1.5 hours late. So if you're hungry, bring your own food 'cause there ain't many vendors onboard. Pro tip: book your tickets four months in advance, seriously, it's tough to get RAC clearance. And if you're in Nandurbar, try the E-Catering. Trust me, it's worth it. The return train is a bit better, covers some delays. Appreciate ya for listening. Peace!
