This train has a good food service from Pantry Car, which you can trust. Although prices are on a bit higher side than standard IRCTC meals.

4: Non-Veg Egg meal thali ₹.140 (Day 2 served after Buxar)

Apart these there are umpteen number of snacks prepared & sold like samosas, bread cutlet, egg pakoda, aloo vada, omlette, soups, tea, coffee, etc

Food is good in taste & quantity, which is lot better than catering services offered by IRCTC over so called premium trains

I recently traveled on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express and would like to share my experience with the sleeper compartment. Unfortunately, the sleeper compartment was extremely crowded, with many passengers with unconfirmed tickets or general-class tickets occupying seats that had been prebooked by others. This caused a significant inconvenience for those who had reserved their seats in advance.

However, what was more concerning was the behavior of the ticket collector. The collector seemed least bothered about the situation and was reportedly accepting bribes from passengers to allow them to travel in the sleeper

compartment, further adding to the overcrowding. This not only caused discomfort to passengers but also raised safety concerns.

Additionally, the washrooms on the train were not maintained well, making it challenging for passengers to use them.

I strongly recommend that the railways take action on this issue, including ensuring that ticket collectors do not accept bribes and prevent overcrowding in the sleeper compartment. Also, better maintenance of the washrooms would be highly appreciated. It is important to prioritize passenger safety and comfort, and I hope the necessary steps are taken to improve the overall travel experience on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express.

One of the best location for railfanning. Even though majority all the trains cross at night time (don't even dare think to do railfanning at night here), but still at afternoon time lots of diesel action is visible. Best time to railfanning photography is from 1430hrs to 1800hrs. This afternoon time is safe and no disturbance will be there. Catch the 1425hrs dep Pune-Nanded-Nzb passenger from pune and it's the 3rd station from pune.
The first train from aftrenoon starts with the pune bound jhelum express (if its late which its always gets late). Then enjoy the KJM hunk udyan express, Pune hunk Goa express, south TVC trains, jammu bound jhelum , SUR king Hutatma exp and Hyd shining express, with inbetween

continuous freight actions. All the action is presently in diesel traction, but soon in 2-3 years electric locos will rule this region.
There's a gradient at a distance with turn towards Loni-Daund side, which makes a valuable catch for rail photgraphers.
At about 1730hrs, local passenger will come to station to return pune by the 1830hrs dep daund-pune local. 15min prior to train arr, the SM comes and sell tickets. Return to pune jn. by this train. The last local to return pune is at about 2030hrs (which majority of time comes late as it comes from NZB).
Precaution:
Keep your bag full of eatables snacks and water as at platform its nothing present.
People are bit curious to see a person taking photographs of trains. So don't get rude if they ask for the reason. Show them your collection. If happy, they themselves will pose for a snap. !! ;)

Manjari Budruk Is a Heaven for High speed railfanning.
Here There is No Loop lines like Hadapsar, Loni , Uruli stations. So trains pass raising dust storms.
Now reaching here by PMPML bus is bit difficult and time-consuming.
So I am updating Passenger Trains Timetable along with by which Railfans can adjust there timings of railfanning.
PS:

One of the best train from Puri to Howrah and Howrah to Puri. Most of the time its run on time. Most passenger prefers for its on time early morning arrival (04.50 am) at Howrah. Neat & clean, paper wrapped bedding provided by ECoR in ac coaches. Permanent loco link is Santragachi #WAP4.
