sorry sir could not update bcoz battery problem and network problem. at ADI we were in pf3 and i had lunch from the pantry itself - veg biryani. i noticed that they have increased the prices in the pantry - b/f cutlet and bread was rs 50 and lunch was 85 while veg biryani was 60. i did not check the non veg items pricing but that would have increased too. however must say that with increase in price the quality has also improved. the size of cutlets was bigger and was also were filling while their was the chiplet of butter with the breads and a sachet of sauce. also the quality of biryani i felt had also vastly improved. i traveled after a pretty long time but their was a marked difference in quality than earlier food. so in a way even though...

the pantry guys have started charging more, the quality has improved and therefore, i do not think their should be any complaints.

RDB sir, forgot to mention. i was upgraded and therefore was in A-1. but yes all the coaches were pretty old. a1 was 1995 and a2 was probably 1997. no charging points on the side berth only in the four seat bay side their were two charging points and in my bay those were also not working. i think this train belongs to firozpur div of NR and looking at the condition of the rake, would like to say that firozpur div must have be the least favored division of NR. however, on route cleaning was really good with cleaning staff at Ratlam and ADI providing good service.
the train seems to have a lot of slack...

time because after starting from NDLS immediately we halted for almost half an hour maybe after tilak bridge or something but still it was on dot at MTJ and also it was rt at RTM and BRC. however, we again got delayed by about 25 30 min from BRC but reached rt at ADI. again delayed start from ADI by about 20 min and even though their were three crossings between VG and RJT we reached before time at RJT.
i would like to rate the train thus:
rake condition - 2/5
cleanliness - 3 /5
punctuality - 4/5
pantry - 4/5
overall - 3/5
