Travelled in Avadh Assam express End to End from Lalgarh to Dibrugarh this month in 2 AC.

This train is filled up pretty much throughout the journey before Guwahati so don't expect to find any empty seats in intermediate trip.

journey goes smoothly till Old Delhi Junction where the timing is maintained so this train is good overnight option from Bikaner to Delhi. After Delhi, this train faces some serious delays all the way till Guwahati. It'll keep getting delayed and make up due to a number of slack in the middle. If you're planning to have any connecting trip, I'd suggest you to go for a different train instead of this one because this train is guaranteed to be delayed in the intermediate stations. It'll start making up for the delays after Guwahati.

The pantry food is barely palatable, it's half cooked rice, thin sal, some potato dish and 2 roti or chapati. For non veg, the option is egg or chicken in lunch and dinner. Either way, they didn't overcharge me and charged the MRP price. Even the water bottle will be sold at MRP price without asking. But the cold drinks will have MRP rubbed off, so I'd recommend you to get cold drinks at station.

The tea is probably their high margin item with which they generate a lot of profit due to which you'll find them every 5-10 minutes roaming around guaranteed. The tea smells good but you'll know that they use less milk in it as per instruction of their pantry manager. You can go to the pantry yourself and demand for a better tea for yourself or threaten to complain because a normal tea is supposed to be sold at 7 rs and only dip tea can be sold at 10 rs. They make "special" tea usually only for first class and TTEs. Even coffee will be sold with same thin milk.

In breakfast, you'll get Bread cutlet and omlette as option. I've never tried omlette but cutlet had decent taste all 3 mornings though they were a bit oily. Cutlet costed 40 rs. Occassionally parathas were sold but I didn't buy them.

The OBHS staff were active in 2AC and actively cleaned all the coaches and bathroom whenever they could. I've been to bathroom several times and not once did I find pungent smell in it in both western and Indian style toilet. You can wake up a bit late and be assured that bathroom will remain clean. And the handwash was always available inside the bathroom.

I'd recommend not to order from IRCTC E catering due to delays this train face. Your order may not show up. At some points, this train got delayed by up to 3 hours and my co passenger had to get food from pantry and deal with IRCTC for the refund as the order was prepaid.

In terms of railfanning, you'll find a lot of crossings and overtakes including one by Rajdhani and Kanchunjunga each.

Be careful of your belongings from day 3 as a lot of unauthorised vendors enter the train to sell food and local passengers too attempt to enter this train. They start coming in from Samastipur till New Bangoigaon. There have been cases where belongings were stolen by these vendors. Don't buy anything from these vendors including water bottle as they sell it at 20 rs instead of 15. In New Jalpaiguri, they'll sell a 2 litre bottle for 20 rs but buy it at your own risk.

I'd recommend you to get upper berth if you're alone where you can keep your belongings with the trust of your copassengers. Thieves will only steal items that are within the reach so keep your belongings at the corner of upper berth.

This train is useless for end to end journey...It runs as a local train in UP and Bihar with huge slack and longer route. It should better run between NJP and Old Delhi.

Re# 5373162-2              
This is only daily non-Rajdhani train between Delhi and Dibrugarh and the tickets are available about 2-3 weeks in advance which is why this is preferred train for many people in spite of a huge number of halts in between. The longer route is only between Bikaner and Delhi and some parts of UP, Bihar and in Assam it obviously goes through longer route if it has to go through Guwahati. The train can be speeded up with same number of halts if some priority can be given to it and the timing can be adjusted so that it gets clear line in its journey.

The crux of the matter is that travelling end-to-end on this train is a headache. The better option would be to break the journey in Delhi and take DBRG Rajdhani.

Re# 5373162-5              
Understandable, but for those with huge amount of luggage and old people travelling in group from Rajasthan or Punjab to NJP or beyond, this is the only option where tickets are available within 2 weeks - 1 month period. My co-passenger group were travelling from Bikaner to Dimapur in its entirety instead of break journey due to kids and old people in it and they themselves wouldn't have been able to manage all the luggage they were carrying. Even if you do break journey, you save 8 hours but spend 2-3k extra due to dynamic pricing of Rajdhani and extra money spent on coming from bikaner to delhi and other refreshments during layover in Delhi. There is no intercity train from Bikaner to Delhi that leaver Bikaner in early morning and reaches Delhi in Afternoon like it is in Shatabdis.

Yeah, that is there. I just hope IR gives more attention to improving these types of Mail/Express trains rather than purely focusing on premium trains.

If the same Tip applies to multiple trains/stations, then please use the "Add Tag" action item, rather than creating separate Tips.
Thanks.
