Ganga Sagar Express - सारे तीर्थ बार-बार, गंगासागर एक बार - Rahul Kumar

Traveled in this train from Secunderabad to Raipur in AC3-B1 in Feb 3.
Poor management at SC. Train was not shunted till 22:40. Finally train departed at 23:00.
All passengers got towel without even asking which was surprising.
Train was slightly delayed till NGP. No 130 action observed in the night.

did 130 before Salekasa-Darekasa ghats and it was good RF experience footplating.
GS coach had mad rush in it.
Side pantry was present and coffee/tea, oranges, samosas, biryani options were available.
Approx 30% pax got down at NGP and another 10% boarded.
Ordered online food from KC Associates from Durg which was not delivered. Received sms that food wasn`t prepared and couldn`t be delivered.
At NGP, this train arrived later than Gondwana but departed before it.
After NGP, felt AC was inadequate due to strong sunlight. Raised complaint over phone but no resolution.
Overall a nice train to travel but not better than Wainganga for Chhattisgarh bound travelers.
