Sharing my personal experience about this train :
I travelled from Pune-Solapur and back from Solapur-Pune on 13/9/2014. The LHB coaches were very well maintained. The toilets were clean too.
The train started bang on time at 05.50am from Pune and with a couple of stoppages for crossings, it reached Solapur only 5-10 minutes late than the scheduled arrival time. We were first served with Tea/ Coffee and Breakfast later which included Veg cutlets, Bread slices, butter sachets, etc. The food quality was good.

the return journey, 12026 reached Solapur at around 19.50 (15 minutes late) and departed at 20.00pm. The return journey was almost a non-stop journey with only a single stop for crossing that too just before Daund. The train reached Pune at sharp 11.15pm. Regarding the food served, we were first welcomed with Tomato Soup and Bread Sticks. Later, dinner was served which included 3 Rotis, Mutter Paneer, Dal, Rice, Curd, Pickle, Gulab Jamun. I would like to mention that quality of the dinner was really nice. I have travelled multiple times in this train and the food was terrible back then. But, after travelling yesterday, I can say that this is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT.
Overall it was a nice experience with the only Shatabdi of Pune.
Hope this helps to people who wish to opt for this train for their travel.
