If you are planning to travelling from MAS to NDLS first time by 12615, then you should reconsider your decision. It will give you worst sleeping experience you'll never forget. It has CBC coupling which makes almost impossible to sleep at night due to horrible jerks. Heart patients should avoid this train. I travelled in 2A and i couldn't sleep for whole 2 nights. In addition to this, pantry food is of worst quality.

immediately after boarding the train at chennai within 10-15 min of train starts its journey, hot bajji or vada will come. The pantry staff after immediately boarding the train they will make these bajjis. These are very tasty but they will sell Rs.10/- per piece. After that immediately they will cook biryani rice and will start packing quickly the parcels. Then they will prepare the roti. The roti curry is chana masala with sliced panner on top of it. You can go and see the preparation too. Good food.

Meals on Wheels(MOW) does not provide good food. My exp is in Jharkhand S J Exp. I think MOW has a politician owner. Otherwise it does not deserve to provide food in train. Local vendor provides much better food then MOW. "Pata nahi ache din kab aayenge"
