If you are alone and looking for a ticket in this train and not able to get it dont worry. Try its general coaches. They are six in number 3 at each end. Again since train is not too old, many people who travel in general class are unaware about it. Pretty good chances of getting a comfortable seat and even chance to sleep in its general coaches.
Did not find any vendor in the train right from BDTS to UDZ for the entire journey. The coach attendent asked for breakfast and the options were Poha & Jalebi, Samosa and Kachori. We ordered both and delivered to our seat on Ratlam Jn. Total cost Rs. 220/- It was sufficient for 3 of us. Pohas were sweet. Both dishes were nicely packed in a sweet box and wrapped with a rubber band.
Hi, Yes it is very expensive. But I had no other choice than to buy it. I was so frustrated that even a tea vendor was not available during entire journey. I was getting down at all the stations when train stopped but the coach was almost at the end so did not dare to reach platform canteen and buy something. Only at Ratlam I got time to reach canteen and the canteen got crowded by all the train passengers due to same issue :)
73 to jyada hai yaar.....uss bhai ne kaunsa Jalebi ko desi ghee mein banaya hoga jo itne maang raha tha... max to max 60 le leta...20rs ka samosa kachori, 10rs poha...baaki jalebi ke..
Bedsheets were provided immediately after train came on pf4. Surprised to see that napkins were provided. There were some stains on the bedsheets but still they were clean and white.
Train aa ke platform 4 pe aate hi bedsheets provide ho gaye thay. Hairaan hoke dekha ki napkins bhi diye gaye thay. Bedsheets pe kuch dhabbe thay, lekin phir bhi woh saaf aur safed thay.
If you are trying a ticket in this train and not able to get. Try following option. Get a ticket in Avadh Express, which runs just before it and generally TTE are able to accomodate you in Avadh by charging differential fare between UR and SL. Get down at Dahod. At Dahod, on the same platform on which you get down from Avadh, after few minutes comes 22901. So you can have nice sleep in avadh and then spend rest of day journey in 22901. I have tried it myself once.
If you see route, both trains run back to back from BDTS till Dahod. I have always observed that no overtaking happens before Ratlam. Avadh first reaches Ratlam followed by 22901. At times both meet at Ratlam Platform 5 and Platform 6 and then moves for their respective destinations. Avadh towards Nagda and 22901 towards Mandsaur.
its a chain tip , and it should be discussed in chain category ,, also , we have to see ticket avl in avadh from bdts to dahod and ticet avl in 22901 from dahod to udz ... buffer time less is also a big factor
When I travelled recently in 22901, we reached Ratlam and 19037 arrived on the adjacent platform and our train left from Ratlam. Also, at Dahod and in between, I did not see 22901 overtaking 19037
