Pantry licensed to Neelam caterers.
The pantry does not overcharge in anything. The breakfast, meals, water bottle are as per the price fixed by IRCTC. In breakfast the standard veg and non veg options are there for rs 30 & 35 respectively. In meals along with the standard casserole meals, their customized thali option is there.
1. Veg thali - 100 rs (2 paratha, dal, rice, mix veg, paneer masala, pickle sachet, salt & pepper sachet)
2.
...
more...
Chicken thali - 120 rs (paneer replaced by chicken)
3. Fish thali - 120 or 130 rs (dont remember exactly) (fish in place of paneer)
4. In dinner on day 2, I asked for chicken chilly and and paratha which was available for 130 rs consisting of a plate of chicken chilly, 4 parathas, pickle sachet..
Other than this veg & egg biryani was available.
Had mishti doi (mother dairy) for rs 25.
The quality and taste was not upto the mark. The quantity however was OK.
Rating for food 2.5/5.
LOT of improvement needed.

journey for pax boarding at Thane (TNA) is absolutely painful (if not impossible for sr citizens and kids). Kalyan (KYN) bound suburban passengers simply take over the train. I really wonder whether Thane halt was introduced (few years back) to simply facilitate these KYN commuters.

Yup I saw loads of pax deboarding at Kalyan from this train. My H1 was just behind the Gen coaches and before the train could stop, many had deboarded just like the local trains.

Well,after my recent travel tips on 12261 durunto and jnaneswari,this time I am writing about 12809/10 train,based on my expernice.These train is having high stoppages between Cst and howrah,but a very demand train.Like Jnaneswari,geetanjali,durunto express(cst-hwh route)this train is also having highest priority,despite many stoppages.If u r a railfan,You should board this train.Since it has many stoppages,between cst and hwh,u can do rf,but beware,train has only 2-4 minutes stoppages for small stations.Do come back in time,else u will miss your train,lol.

Cleanliness:-Cleanliness is average.Same for sleeper as well as Ac coaches,but better
...
more...
then Geetanjali

Punctuality:-Well,i am bit surprised that this train reaches mostly on time or even before time.Kudos to these train!

Food:-Average.Better buy food from nagpur and othrt stations

Railfannning is good in this train,no intereference by pantry guyss/staffs(based on personal expernice)

:-) :-)

Travelled in 3AC and the coach was very clean throughout the journey. It was cleaned thoroughly at Nagpur and and they also used perfume. The toilets were clean as well. I always prefer SER trains from Mumbai, because not only are the trains well maintained the staff is cooperative as well. Absolutely recommended if you want to travel along the route.

Charging Points are available in all the AC Coaches and all SL from S1 - S13 on either side of every compartment.
A lot of IRCTC vendors right from boarding the train in Howrah or Mumbai are active all the time.
The train is cleaned thoroughly in the morning.
