Train Travel Tips
Page# 6 travel tips next>>
Very dirty and unclean sleeper coaches. Always overcrowded (i.e, no of passengers greater than berths) due to boarding of Waitlisted passengers. Be careful of RAC/WL passengers who will always try to take your empty birth for a nap.
Rule is not applicable for tips which were registered 2 yrs earlier.
Frankly speaking I really don't know when such rule was made. I am not a regular traveler, I used to travel only once/twice every year. The regular trip writers may explain the necessity of such rules!!
Punctuality has been drastically reduced of this train now-a-days. It is stopped several times in between Balasore-Bhubaneshwar, Visakhapattanam-Vijaywada stretch (obvious due to several unnecessary halts). Undergoes good run in Brahmapur-Visakhapattanam & Vijaywada-Chennai stretch.
From Howrah to Bhubaneswar, I have never seen Coromandal getting lesser priority in my life. This runs at a Premium Slot i.e Puri Shatabdi-MAS Coromandal. These two run back to back. And always maintains a Perfect run between HWH-VSKP.
But yes, it gets slow run between VSKP-BZA due to slack timings. It always arrives Eluru delayed, but arrives BZA nearly ontime.
Thus,This tip stands partially True.

What you said about priority is absolutely true. But several times you can found it reaching VSKP late (sometimes heavy delayed).
Just see the travel time from KUR to VSKP. Its to aggressive and slight delays are expected to happen, like 1-1:30hrs which is easily covered between EE-BZA slack.
Its due to over congestion, earlier it used to reach VSKP atleast 20-30 mins earlier.
Irrespective of Over-congestion, Coromandal gets the top-most priority in KGP-VZM stretch. And if we check the arrival history at VSKP, regularly its arriving by 30 minutes delays barring 1-2 instance of 1hr or more hours delays.
Travelled in this train till VSKP. The speed of the train at night, especially from BAM onwards is furious and sleeping on the berth feels like you might be thrown away from the berth at any moment. Could be due to my berth position just above the train bogie.
Myself also had a very similar experience while travelling by the KING of SER. Its not the fault of your berth as you are talking about but I personally feel that trains like Falaknuma & Coromandel do a bit overspeeding during night time.
its due to mostly CBC rakes , even i had same experience in MAS-TVC Mail
Its not just CBC rakes. I have felt in MAS SBC mail too. Especially on the curves,it seems that the centrifugal force(:P) is trying to throw you off the berth!
from howrah, when this train rake start as coromandel,its very neat and clean. Onboard housekeeping staff are present,who clean the whole train first once after kharagpur. room spray are sprayed. and toilets are also neat and clean. SER howrah really send this rake like a king from howrah but as after 3 days it returns to howrah as chennai mail,it becomes dirty and stinky...all thanks to our aam janta travelling and negligence of houskeeping and SR.
its because , SR does not take the reake to BBQ yard as it has to depart as coro
If you see teh DN coromandel at its ending phase from VSKP-HWH you would vomit
today i boarded the down chennai hwh mail in its last leg i.e frm balasore to howrah in sleeper class. surprisingly the coaches were still clean. and the train was without waiting ticket holders. lagta hai grand daddy mail ke ache din aa gaye hain...:)
once in a blue moon. But Balasore to Bilkul hi end me aagye aap... iske baad to bas KGP hi hai..to shayad sab WL wale khali ho gaye...ya cnf wale ctc tak nikal liye aur WL wale baith gaye
i cant say tht...the peoples who board mail frm vskp/bam/bbs can tell better. but seriously the bogies was clean. i think now there is a onboard housekeeping staff. same i had seen while going frm howrah to balasore in coromandal.
I totally disagree. Even middle part of the sleeper coach stinks at it's best. WL passengers doesn't allow you to move freely in aisles.
whatever u r saying,that i felt last year when i travelled in this train. But this year,i travelled in both these trains and that too in both up and down directions,,,i was happy and surprised by seeing the cleanliness..
