I boarded the train on 14/10/2018 at CSMT. Train was running on time throughout. Train was late by 1 hour at Tatanagar Jn. After Mecheda, the train stopped at every station. Was stuck at Santragachi for 35 minutes. Finally reached Howrah at 2300hrs, late by more than 3 hours. But the RailYatri app shows that train reached at 2108hrs.

Services are slowly deteriorating on this train. Traveled numerous times on this train, the food, the quality of service, it is nothing of year 2010 standards. Now please add, the on-board robberies that are happening on this train. So guys, please be careful of your stuff, particularly at Nagpur.

i must say punctuality was poor. being a Duranto reached Howrah 2 hours late . I had to catch 12321 at 22.00 hrs from HWH which I thought would miss but anyway boarded 12321 at 21.50 hrs.
Duronto was almost 30 mins late at Nagpur , 1 hour late at Bilaspur and after it moved very slowly, made many unscheduled halts . I thought it would show some duronto like run after it enters South Eastern territory(being the most important train of SE Railway) after jharsuguda , but there also stopped at almost 7 stations between Jharsuguda and Rourkela , seemed like it was running behind a goods train.
I had to tweet regarding this and got a reply within 30 mins and after that from Rourkela onwards the train showed action and covered the rest of journey without any unscheduled halt.
The train runs more or less like an express train for most part of its journey.

All AC 2-Tier coaches have two power sockets within each 2x2 compartment (see photo taken in coach A2). Most seem to work but travellers with a 2-pin plug must be mindful that some sockets are a bit wobbly and the power connection keeps getting interrupted.
If you have a laptop with a 3-pin plug, use a USB cable to charge your phone (if USB charging is supported)
Oddly enough the Side Upper/Lower berths have *no* power sockets which is extremely disappointing!

This train is the best to travel on the Mumbai - Howrah route.
The pantry food is good too and the quantity is sufficient as well. Shortly before Kalyan evening snacks are served, which consist of a sandwich, frooti, roasted peanuts and a sweet. Then at igatpuri, soup and breadsticks are served and finally dinner is served at around manmad; and ice cream is given after a while. This trip was limited upto nagpur so can only give those updates. Posting some pics herewith
