This tip is from my recent travel in both 12133 and 12134 in 3AC in the month of Oct 2023. Please find the details below:
1. Punctuality: The Mangaluru Express is one of the least punctual trains running on the KR section. 12133 CSMT MAJN SF reaches Kumta with about an hour delay and further MAJN with an average delay of 2 hrs. 12134 starts late due to the late arrival of 12133 and gets delayed by an average of 5 hrs daily while reaching Mumbai. Railways have completely neglected a train...

which was known for the priority in the Konkan section. I would still suggest booking in 12133 as a couple of hrs of delay is understandable but think twice before booking in 12134 as the 5 hrs average delay has been happening for atleast the last couple of years. If you have ample time, this would be the best train as the cleanliness and other facilities are good.
2. Cleanliness: The train is very well maintained and there is Onboard Housekeeping. The cleaning staff does a good job in both 12133 as well as 12134. After 12133 arrives at Mangaluru, they lock the doors and clean the entire coach for about 30 mins after which you may board it. I would give a 10/10 for the cleanliness
3. Food: This train does not have a panty car and you have to depend on the food loaded in the intermediate stations. In 12133, there was one vendor selling dinner and water after departure from Thane but I would strictly advice against depending on it. The Breakfast in 12133 is loaded from Kankavali and includes items like Tea, Coffee (Rs. 10), Upma (Rs. 25) Bread Omlette (50) Idli Sambhar. The taste was very good and seemed fresh. Goli Bajji is loaded from Karwar.
While in 12134, our train was delayed by 4 hrs at Kumta and hence Dinner was loaded at Kumta. I am not sure if it is the same case in regular run when there is no delay (which I guess hasn't happened in the past 2 years). Dinner in 12134 includes Veg Biryani with Raita (Rs. 90), Chicken Biryani without Raita (Rs. 120), Roti with Egg Curry and Tomato Soup. Veg Biryani and Chicken Biryani Tasted good and the dinner was from Ravikiran Catering Contractors Kumta.
4. Coaches: It still runs with ICF Coaches but the 3AC cooling is very good. The berths, toilets, etc. are also in good condition. In 12133, B4 Coach has RAC Passengers and avoid it if possible.
Overall: The cleanliness and overnight schedule of the train is the biggest advantage but the delays are a big concern. If you don't have a tight schedule and want to have a good journey, you may choose this train.
Once a Legendary Rocket, now it has been degraded to a passenger train.

This tip is straight from my recent journey on both the 12133 and 12134 trains in 3AC in Oct 2023. Here are the deets:
1. Punctuality: The Mangaluru Express is like always late, man. 12133 CSMT MAJN SF is about an hour late to Kumta and 2 hrs late to MAJN on average. 12134 is even worse, starting late cuz of 12133 and being delayed by a crazy 5 hrs reaching Mumbai daily. The train's been neglected by the railways, used to be top-notch in the Konkan route. Better chance with 12133, but think twice for 12134 with its chronic 5 hrs delay. If you're cool with waiting, this train is dope for cleanliness and other stuff.
2. Cleanliness: The train's well kept with onboard cleaning. Thumbs up to the cleaners in both 12133 and 12134. After 12133 hits Mangaluru, they lock up and clean the coach for 30 mins. Scored a perfect 10/10 for cleanliness!
3. Food: No pantry car, gotta hope for food at stops. In 12133, found a vendor selling grub after Thane, but I'd avoid relying on it. Breakfast in 12133 is from Kankavali and offers Tea, Coffee (Rs. 10), Upma (Rs. 25), Bread Omlette (Rs. 50), Idli Sambhar, all fresh n tasty. Goli Bajji from Karwar. In 12134, dinner was late at Kumta because of a 4-hr delay. Dinner includes Veg Biryani with Raita (Rs. 90), Chicken Biryani without Raita (Rs. 120), Roti with Egg Curry, and Tomato Soup, all good from Ravikiran Catering Contractors Kumta.
4. Coaches: Still rocking ICF Coaches with chill 3AC cooling. Seats, toilets, all good. Watch out for the RAC passengers in B4 Coach of 12133, try to avoid it.
Overall: Cleanliness and overnight vibe of the train are awesome, but the delays are a major buzzkill. If you're not in a rush and wanna have a relaxed ride, hop on this one.
Used to be a real speedster, now just another slowpoke train.

Ya tip meri haal hi mein hui yatra se hai in dono trains mein, 12133 aur 12134, 3AC mein Oct 2023 ke mahine mein. Neeche details milenge:
1. Punctuality: Mangaluru Express sabse kam samay par chalti trains mein se ek hai KR section mein. 12133 CSMT MAJN SF Kumta tak lagbhag ek ghante der se pahunchti hai aur MAJN tak average 2 ghante der se pahunchti hai. 12134 late start hoti hai 12133 ke late pahunchne ki wajah se aur Mumbai tak average 5 ghante der se pahunchti hai rozana. Railways ne poori tarah se ek train ko ignore kar diya hai jise Konkan section mein priority ke liye jaana jaata tha. Main suggest karunga ki 12133 mein booking kar lo kyunki 2 ghante ki der samajh me aati hai, lekin 12134 mein booking karne se pehle do baar sochna chahiye kyunki last couple of years se 5 ghante ki average der lagataar hoti hai. Agar bohot time hai toh yeh best train hogi kyunki safai aur facilities ache hai.
2. Cleanliness: Train ka bohot acche se maintain kiya jaata hai aur Onboard Housekeeping hoti hai. Cleaning staff achha kaam karti hai dono trains mein, 12133 aur 12134 mein. Jab 12133 Mangaluru pahunchti hai, woh darwaze lock kar dete hain aur 30 min tak poori coach ko saaf karte hain, uske baad board kar sakte ho. Main 10/10 dunga safai ke liye.
3. Food: Is train mein pantry car nahi hai aur tumhe intermediate stations me load ki hui food par nirbhar rahna padega. 12133 mein Thane se nikalne ke baad ek vendor dinner aur paani bech raha tha lekin main strongly suggest karunga ki uspar nirbhar na ho. 12133 mein Breakfast Kankavali se load hota hai jisme Tea, Coffee (Rs. 10), Upma (Rs. 25), Bread Omlette (50), Idli Sambhar aate hain. Swad bohot accha tha aur fresh lag raha tha. Goli Bajji Karwar se load hota hai.
Jab 12134 mein humari train Kumta mein 4 ghante late thi to Dinner Kumta se load kiya gaya tha. Main sure nahi hoon ki agar regular run me der na ho (jo last 2 saalon me hua nahi), toh kya yeh waisa hi hota hai. 12134 mein Dinner me Veg Biryani with Raita (Rs. 90), Chicken Biryani without Raita (Rs. 120), Roti with Egg Curry aur Tomato Soup aate hain. Veg Biryani aur Chicken Biryani achhe the aur dinner Ravikiran Catering Contractors Kumta se tha.
4. Coaches: Yeh ab bhi ICF Coaches ke saath chalti hai lekin 3AC cooling bohot acchi hai. Births, toilets, etc. bhi acchi condition me hain. 12133 mein B4 Coach me RAC Passengers hain, agar possible ho toh avoid karo.
Overall: Train ki safai aur overnight schedule sabse bada fayda hai lekin delays bada concern hai. Agar tight schedule nahi hai aur achhi yatra karna hai toh yeh train choose kar sakte ho.
Ek samay ka Legendary Rocket, ab yeh passenger train ban gayi hai.
