Travelled on 22476 from MAJN to PNVL in 2A, here are my observations.
Loco link was a shiny new BGKT WAP7, which occasionally clocked 120 kmph between MAJN and UD and between MAO and RN.
My...
more... coach A4 was fairly well maintained, with the washrooms in very good condition, even after a long run from CBE. Bedrolls offered were clean.
Pantry food is nice, even on par with some of the Rajdhanis (I only tried the vegetarian fare)
Views of the Konkan Railway's Maharashtra segment can be enjoyed in broad daylight.
I had to book my ticket at a short notice, and easily got a confirmed seat.
The only letdown was that the train arrived with only a 2 min delay at MAJN, got more and more delayed and finally reached PNVL with a delay of approx. 1 h 20 min. Luckily, I was not in a hurry.
Overall, a solid 8.5/10.
(I had accidentally put this in the "General travel" section and not as a train tip)

I booked my ticket on short notice and easily got a confirmed seat.
The only disappointment was that the train arrived only 2 minutes late at MAJN, but became progressively more delayed, finally reaching PNVL approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes late. Luckily, I wasn't in a hurry.
