I have traveled in this train many times. Not good in any term, be it punctuality cleanliness or coach conditions. Earlier this used to be the only train between delhi and mangalore and there was no choice (except rajdhani, which is expensive). Now there are much better trains around. LHS coaches are a must for these kind of long distance trains. arrives at a very odd time at mangalore. Avoid if you can.

You are absolutely right with regards to condition of coaches. I have travelled many times in Ac 2 tier coaches of this train. Its a real pity that AC 2 tier coaches are much older and not at all maintained properly. Even the washrooms are not cleaned at regular intervals. This is the condition of AC 2 tier coaches, cant imagine the condition of sleeper coaches. AC 3 tier coaches are much well maintained than AC 2 tier coaches. Only plus point for this train is the food which is of acceptable standard. Punctuality and cleanliness as you said better to forget the same.

Rightly said. The train is in a sorry state even after LHBfication. Scheduled arrival time at MAJN is in itself late, and delays only make matters worse.

Agree
This train desperately needs strict ticket checking by checkers.. Everything is haywire ..people board and deboard reserved compartment at will... Also I sincerely want to request the invisible railway police to severely penalized those smokers who are matter of discomfort to all especially they hijack the toilets and compartment tubes to smoke...water usually runs out due to running taps..and cockroaches n mice infestation we had to bring to notice to staff..But who cares!

update: Amazing i mean simply amazingly vendors pull the emergency brakes and de-board the train at specific isolated location

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent travel experience on Train No. 20909, specifically in Bogie No. 132784WGSCN. Unfortunately, the journey was marred by a series of issues that significantly affected the overall quality of service provided.

Firstly, the cleanliness of the old bogies was deplorable. The conditions inside the train were substandard, and the lack of proper maintenance was evident. The headrests were filled with dirt and muck, making it uncomfortable for passengers.
...

The canteen service was equally disappointing. The food served was cold, and there were concerns regarding hygiene. Furthermore, the tea vendor was observed cutting corners by halving the tea servings, compromising the quality of service. What added to the dissatisfaction was the absence of bills after purchasing food items.

The condition of the toilets was pathetic. Despite being essential facilities, they were not well-maintained, which is unacceptable considering the importance of hygiene during train travel.

Moreover, the entry door lock mortise was not functioning properly, posing a potential safety risk. Loose switches and plugs in the bogie were also observed, rendering them beyond practical usage. Such issues not only inconvenience passengers but also present safety hazards.

I feel compelled to bring these concerns to the mass attention in the hope that corrective measures will be taken promptly. It is disheartening to experience such a decline in service quality, especially considering the expectations passengers have.

I strongly advise against visiting the pantry as the conditions there were unsatisfactory, further contributing to the negative overall experience. I sincerely hope that steps will be taken to address these issues and improve the quality of service on Train No. 20909.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I would advice you to raise a complaint on RailMadad portal for this instance. Additionally what I've observed from my personal experience is that when you

raise a complaint while you are travelling, they take it more seriously and resolve them. For eg. if you raise a cleanliness complaint, they would address it and won't usually be able to close it until you confirm that the cleaning has been done. I myself had forced the staff to clean the toilets thrice as I was not satisfied with their work.

Vivek

My feedback on this train ~~
Speed- 9/10
Lots and lots of slack in this train.
Punctuality- 10/10
Generally arrives NDLS 20 mins before time.
Food-
...
more...
4/10
Food was warm but tasteless. There was no paneer in Matar Paneer :-P
Moreover, rice packets were stored in dustbin near washbasin.
Cleanliness- 1/10
No maintenance at JAT. Even in AC-2 , toilets were blocked and were stinking badly. Even the floor was very dirty. All coaches were dirty from outside. This factor needs a lot of attention to pay. The bedrolls supplied were not cleaned too.
Nothing was of Rajdhani standard.
Comfort- 5/10
Lots and lots of Jerks.
Coach attendants were very friendly but were asking for tip.

Once I have travelled in this train ,,but that was in ICF avatar.
And seeing your feedback , i feel like ICF coaches were way more brilliant than these LHB maintenance standards.
In older ICF coaches , the cleanliness was awesome , Punctuality and speed is same but food and comfort was good.
Food was hot and crispy.

I have also travelled in its ICF avatar in May 2013. At that time, it was awesome and well maintained. But now after its LHB conversion, this train has degraded horribly.

one way traverse is more than 2000 kms, still not taken to yard. I heard that the trains which have 4000 km+ return trip are to be taken to yard for secondary maintainance. Then, in return journey to delhi, passengers will be having horrendous time to find an unclogged washroom.
