Hi everyone,
Made a trip by this train on 7/10 and back by 12848 on 9/10. Few points to note
1. Power- KGP WDM3A 16421R is its regular link
2. Coaches are old, pretty old and originally belonged to NR it looked. C6 and C7 are modified from original 3AC.
3.

Cleanliness is good as with all Durontos, but coach maintenance leaves much desired
4. Food quality is impressive, the same menu that is loaded to YPR duronto is also loaded here. AC CC menu was soup, butter and breadsticks, followed by 2 parathas, chana dal, jeera rice, salad, chicken masala ( 2 good pieces), pickle, plain curd, ice cream. A bottle of rail neer is also supplied.
5. Punctuality v good, speed is impressive, it makes 110 all way till Panskura, and then on the branch line in parts and is accorded a thru signal all the way. Actually reaches 10 mins before time both directions even after slowing down after SRC.

Please note that catering is still carried on by IRCTC in this train, not taken over by railways, God knows when this new policy is to be fully implemented
