3.Azimabad Express
A nice aggressive fast n good train but few aspects of this train are:
* A very nice train with fast time table, 12947 runs almost before time till Kanpur Central, always reaches before time in Agra.
....
more...

*Since its very fast n only sf from Patna to Ahmedabad its sleeper are just like general bogies. So much rush if waiting list passengers can be seen in it.
.
* The general are saturated packed with not even a place to stand.
.
* If travelling in 12948, expect atleast 3 hour delay fir stations post Allahabad.
.
* Train has no pantry n runs with limited stops carry sufficient water in summer especially for 12947. Local vendirs are also not seen that much in the train.
.
* On 12947 watch right after Agra fort on Yamuna river Bridge for Tajmahal towards loco, On 12948 watch left for Tajmahal on Yamuna Bridge after Tundla towards Guard side.
A fast n good connectivity from Ahmedabad to Patna if sleeper condition n rush is kept aside.

1. Azad Hind Express
A very nice, punctual n hi priority train whole route, though few things to keep on mind while travelling:
* Since its the only SF train between Pune n Howrah so will be almosr full in Sleeper with lots of Waiting List Passengers too ex Pune only.
....
more...

* Train will halt at Daund generally for 20min atleast. Purchase the food items, dinner etc. As Daund Station has got much better fooding facility than Pune even, So can purchase things over here not that too in hurry even.
.
* Train will give average run between Daund Manmad section due to single track
.
* Do all the purchasings of Snacks, Buiscuits etc from Pune Daund or Manmad only if dont wish to depend on Pantry guy as after this there would be no such things to purchase before Nagpur n all due to early morning arrival at Akola Badnera. Badnera pf wont be having too much opened stalls at the time.
.
* Many times Some RPF guys seen harassing passengers looking bit financial stricken for checking phone for explicit material n can take money too for same between Daund n Manmad. So better avoid these things while travelling
.
* Train will give blasting run on Akola Nagpur Stretch n may feel bit chilly also near Akola Badnera in Sleeper class.
.
* The daily commuters n MST passengers will start boarding the train from Akola n Badnera till Nagpur due to favorable timings n good run.
.
*This train has got very Dedicated staff for service n Bangla passengers can conversate in Bangla too as they are Bengal based :)
.
* Will reach Nagpur on time n Railfans can Capture 2 or 3 legends at Ngp at the same time viz Azad Hind on pf 3, AP exp on pf 2, departing Gyaneshwari at pf1 :)
.
*Overall if rush of sleeper is kept aside, its one of the best train.
