Today my friend travel in falaknuma express from SC - GNT.The general coaches are overcrowded.So many of the people are getting in their reservation boogies in this train.The TC is taking money from the passengers and gives them a slip and those passengers are put into in the sleeper coaches.

No. It is provided to upgrade your GS ticket to SL. There could be dozens of WL passengers, plus these upgraded. They can travel, but will not get any berths. These days it is very common. At stations like LTT & NGP, TCs roam platforms and trains' SL coaches asking like vendors to upgrade tickets from GS to SL.

Beware of the eunauches boarding the train and demanding money and doing all sorts of nuiscance, especially when the train crosses odhisha.Found mostly on sleeper coaches.

yes..majority of kolkata and odisha people takes this train due to its enough aggresive and fast tt....it gets a bit late near around BZA,but still covers the late between BZA ad VSKP in night time....but then gets late near BBS and CTC ...and also sometime if more than 3omin late,then gets overtaken just near balasore by rajdhani exp......

At the last leg of its journey, between KGP and HWH it punches maximum speed and reaches HWH exactly at 17:45 (its correct arrival time at howrah).It makes up all delay between KGP and HWH.

If its late at ctc,then just before balasore it gets rampaged by bbs rajdhani. Then it gets bit more late at balasore also becoz it has to wait till rajdhani gets cleared of balasore as rajdhani also stops at bls. But after bls,falaknuma only has 2 stops and enough slack is given. 231 km from bls to howrah,,and time taken is 3hr 53min. Avg speed is just 59kmph.

As per me,its the best train to travel from secunderabad to odisha/kolkata.
Personally many times travelled in this train. From secunderabad to vijayawada,its good speed,punctual and no unauthorized entry. After BZA,some local travellers bound to inbetween stations of BZA-VSKP board the train but here SCR TTE are very strict to this and they don't allow to board them in sleeper classes. So till morning i.e berhampur,its all neat,clean and happy journey. But after that,the journey till BBS sucks. Train is bit slow and unauthorized pax board it to go BBS/CTC. TTE also don't even ask anything. After BBS/CTC,again this train shows its full aggresion. If falaknuma exp gets late by 20-25 min at BHC,then hold your breath for a deadly aggresive overtake
