:) No, Have not travelled in this train. But, Really, It does not look like this train has got much importance. Its more like a fast passenger on this route. I agree that it is difficult to get something during a 1-2 min halt. I was assuming the local vendors would travel in this train for some distance (Quality debatable, I admit :) , but even the pantry food is not free from complains ) . But yeah...Many imp long distance trains do not have a PC. Hence, I do not think this train would be considered for attaching a PC.

first of all long route travellers does not prefer this train they will do the break journey instead of taking this train and short passengers are always bring along their food due to its punctuality at every station :-)

Bhai, it has convinient timings for food, as it passes through big stations during that time..
Like from Ganganagar it departs at 2100 hrs, after dinner.
Reaches Delhi in the morning , breakfast.
Crosses Agra in afternoon, Lunch.
Reaches
...
more...
Kanpur in evening for dinner.
Reaches Patna in morning, breakfast.
Crosses Jasidih in afternoon, lunch and by the time of dinner it reaches Hwh.. So for each meal it crosses a major station.. So no need of a PC for this train.. I have travelled in it twice or thrice from Kanpur to Sgnr and from Sgnr to Patna and Kanpur once..

Re# 873290-9              
thanks a lot to all. This train has special "halt" in the journey of Indian Railways. Its really bad to see its performance chart.
Nowadays "Toofan Express" is the synonym for late comers.
Railways shud improve it or at least close this train and run the service in fraction ; so as to at least prevent further degradation of this name.
Anyways

I hope rest of the things lyk cleanliness, UN-reserved passengers are OK. (But I don't think it will be OK , wen train has dis kind of schedule)
