Recently I had a journey to chandigarh in this train. The train was one hour late at delhi. But that was made up in NDLS-CDG route. although it has only 17 stops in the entire journey, practically the train stops every 30 minutes for crossing in the konkan route.
Food is good. But the pantry charges one dearly and that too at lower quantity. Veg biriyanis cost Rs 40 (cost at NDLS is Rs18), Egg biriyanis Rs 50. Egg omlet +2 slices of bread a whopping Rs 24. They don't sell Rail Neer, instead gives some brand of mineral water that that costs Rs15.

I think there is something fishy about rates in the IRCTC canteens. Usually in kerala Veg Biriyani is charged Rs.25/- . Bottled Water is charges Rs. 12/- It is written on the price list Pasted on the walls of the Pantry car. Rates cannot change on sector. It will be better to take up the matter to railways through some proprt channel. A Stall at udupi charged me Rs. 15/ for Water bottle I complained to the station supdt. He immediately took action against the canteen concerned. Better do something to stop this fleecing. This they are doing on their own without the konowledge of railways
Please take up this matter IMMEDIATELY with irctc.co.in. Please write to care@irctc.co.in with full details of your journey, including your PNR, date of travel.. they are good and will respond to you after verification. Good wishes.
