Purvanchal Express - Poorvottar ka Sikandar

Took a Trip in this train on 1st November 2021.
All coaches are 2010 made, originally allotted to this Duronto and still used. I remember as I traveled in May 2012 in the SAME train both ways when this train was only recently introduced back then.
These are exceptionally well maintained, just not upgraded. No charging points for Side Seats. No sensors, displays or anything. Just as they were 9 Years ago, well maintained but old.

ENTIRE Passenger Coach Composition including AC Pantry Car is Uniform Duronto Rake- a rare phenomenon these days. Only EOG's are Normal LHB.
1st Picture is at Mumbai Central, I was hurrying back to my seat number 45 Lower Berth in A1 expecting someone vying to take it over from me. As I expected I wasn't wrong, some Aunty indeed was 😂. Didn't gave it up. Couldn't click much pictures as rush was heavy and train was only shunted 30 minutes before departure.
Pictures 2-5: Vadodara Junction, arrived 10 minutes before time.
Pictures 6-8: Ratlam Junction, arrived 5 minutes before time. Not much catering during that time at Ratlam. The vendors weren't that enthusiastic for this train, could only get cold poha with Ratlami Sev as breakfast.
Pictures 9-11: Kota Junction, arrived at Kota Junction outer 25 minutes before time was controlled at outer for 15 minutes as Marusagar Express was at Platform#1. Was taken at Kota 5 minutes before time. The Food Plaza gets totally hidden for passengers from back side of the train near the entrance of platform, my co passengers couldn't figure out what to do for lunch- I had my Subway Sandwiches packed for the journey from near Mumbai CSMT itself.
This train runs from anywhere from 25 minutes to 45 minutes before time, got seriously regulated at Bayana Junction for 15 minutes, at Mathura Junction for 5 minutes, then at Rundhi Station for 15 minutes to be taken by NR Delhi Division 10 minutes before time.
I truly loved my entire journey, had a blast of experience. But this train has a slack of at least 1 hour regardless before it gets slaughtered for any Politician from parts we already know much about, it should be extended to either Chandigarh or Amritsar immediately.
