NTES is the salt of Railfanning. IRI is the sugar. - Kirti Solanki

I traveled by this train on 28th Oct ex Madgaon to Pune. I traveled in AC 3 Tier. A few observations:
1) The AC compartments of this train have rats in them.
2) Toilets were not well cleaned
3) No Pantry Car is a big trouble
4)...
more...

None of the night lamps in the compartments were working .. so there was a state complete darkness thru the compartment
5) The train stopped at numerous places on Konkan Rail Track .. since I kept awake for several reasons, I counted for how much time did the train stop when it was not on any platform or it was on an unscheduled station. The total amount of such stoppages comes to FIVE HOURS !!!!!
6) The train reached Pune station at 9.40 am (which is 30 min BEFORE the scheduled arrival)
7) The timetable of this train and its clashes with other trains on KR track need a serious REVIEW >> PLEASE!!!!!
