the main reason i went to CSMT Yesterday. to capture 22221, it has been a long time pending for me, finally happy to have it done (albeit forgetting to capture the rear loco, it was KYN WAP7 30537, also sorry for the slanted tb pic, too many Coolies near Both EOGs)

Travelled from PUNE to CSMT in EC/E2. Honest opinion is dont take EC, there were way too many kids for what it's worth. EC didnt feel like EC at all. Rest everything else was acceptable, the breakfast, the seats and all. Train maintained a rough delay of 15-20 mins End to End. Didnt do much railfanning onboard except for some videos.

Patronage was decent actually even in Executive Class, my coach was almost empty till Pune from where i boarded, PUNE to CSMT even Executive fills up no surprise. Overall a 8/10 Journey, meanwhile the counterpart CSMT PUNE in CC was 10/10.

True true, ill just own upto it and count this as my loss, the main lesson ive learned is to avoid booking in premium trains before prior talks and proper research, and ill also check the catering services before booking just incase.😞

I am speaking from a general observation and there are going to be exceptions.

Mumbai SUR VB and SNSI VB EC have very poor patronage during weekdays and regular travellers who are the biggest revenue generators won't generally prefer it just for the higher costs.

cannot justify such insanely high fares by saying we reduced 1 seat in each row. There should be some tangible improvement so that people shell out their money. And this is not just for VB but for EC for Shatabdis as well.

For fancy one time travel it seems great but not sustainable over a long period.

I haven't and I would pass it anytime if I have to.
Having said that, I understand and appreciate your views about EC and the eagerness to travel in it.

Agree
Then it wouldn't matter whatever I tell you or whatever indeed is reality.
People indeed travel regularly, more than you or even I would EVER know.
Pune Mumbai and Jaipur Delhi Chandigarh Sections are indeed exceptions.
You've made up your mind and there's no point of further discussion.
