Best train to see the beauty of Koraput - Rayagada section, which is loaded with Tunnels, tall bridges, thick forests, hills, vast agricultural lands, village tribes, animals ... i mean the train route from Koraput to Rayagada is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
This train runs fairly empty until Rayagada, so you wont find any trouble getting a window seat / door spot :-)
The mini-samosa's sold by the local vendors for breakfast after the train crosses Damanjodi are super yummy :-)

If you are visiting Jagdalpur, there are 2 phenomenal waterfalls within an hours drive: Tiratgarh Falls & Chitrakot Falls (dont forget to take the boat ride here). Definitely worth visiting !!

Post 10:45 departure of 11014 CBE-LTT Express there is no train from Pune to Mumbai till 15:30 departure of Deccan Express BUT dont panic and just relax,
Take this train 11026 Pune-Bsl upto Karjat, deboard at 13:36 on PF #3 and on the very next PF (EMU PF) there is a KJT-CSTM Fast Local at 14:00 hrs which leaves you to CSTM @16:00 hrs.
This chain is also used by Kalyan bound passengers who dont prefer the detour via Panvel and in the process 20 precious minutes are also saved.

Travelled in 2AC end to end NZM to CSMT. Welcome drink and snacks (Bhujiya, Chana, a small Samosa, Tea, frooti type juice, soan papdi) was provided shortly after the departure. No bedding post covid obviously. 130 MPS started after TKD. Was never at time at each and every station in the trip. The delays began from AGC (15 min) till CSMT (32 min delayed). Though 130 mps was still maintained between various sections (VGLB - BPL , AGC - GWL). Was bit slow in GWL-VGLB route.

Lunch provided, 3 parathas, 1

chicken curry/paneer mutter dish, 1 dal (which was bland), 1 cup curd, 1 packet pickle and at the end ice cream. No soup was provided.

Next morning breakfast, 2 bread, 2 veg cutlet, small sachet butter, 1 packet sauce, bed tea with 2 biscuit and also tea provided during breakfast. Veg cutlet was delicious (and best food in journey) and should be selected as breakfast option in the route. Not sure about Upma and omlette.

The train stopped 130 mps and restricted to 110 mps post entering in Maharashtra (after Jalgaon Junction). Delay was covered between Nashik and Kalyan but still not enough to reach on time.

If you're a railfan and enthusiastic about consistent high-speed runs, hop on to the Kerala Sampark Kranti at Madgaon till SRR. The moment it starts off from MAO there's no stopping it, the priority and speed will send shivers down your spine! It blasts off the first half of the Malabar coast in as exciting a fashion as you can imagine! No matter how deep a sleep are you engrossed in, the run won't spare you without getting your jaws dropped!
When I travelled, the train departed Madgaon 1 hour 40 minute behind schedule and in the morning it approached SRR at least 20-30 minutes ahead of schedule. I was travelling with three non-railfans and all four of us were equally amazed
