I travelled from Sai Nagar Shirdi (SNSI) to Visakhapatnam by 18504 Express last week. The train was fully packed at Shirdi station itself and many used a link train to catch 17063 (Ajanta Express) at Manmad as this train is close to Ajanta.
Though this train does not have scheduled stoppages at many places, it stopped at several places due to crossings and signal problems, says Mahesh of Visakhapatnam.
18504 SNSI – Visakhapatnam express does not have a pantry car and food was available at down stations.

do not understand why a pantry is not attached to it, though the train travels for over 24 hours. The coaches are old and dirty and the doors were not getting locked properly, exposing passengers to danger of thefts,” he says.
“The train (18504) was jam packed as it is the only direct train to places beyond Secunderabad like Warangal, Vijayawada, and Rajahmundry, apart from Vizag. I don’t understand the logic of the railway authorities in not converting this train into a daily despite the high demand,” says Mahesh.
I suggest that the train be made a daily. It should be once again upgraded into a ‘superfast’ and be made a 24-coach train with pantry car facility. Train 17214/17234 Nagarsol to Narsapur should be extended to Visakhapatnam as the train reaches Narsapur at 11 a.m. and idles there for 24 hours. The extension should not be a problem as the entire jurisdiction from Nagarsol to Duvvada is under the SCR.

No i am not doubtful on NS NSL maintenance as NS has only one daily NS exp and NS-GNT pass and one slip...
with one pitline it easy to maintian 3 daily trains if properly planned
But members here has said NS has got 2 pitlines and are in operational.
Even i am worried why NS NSL exp used to go MTM when NS
