Its one of the best maintained train of SWR vasco. Except winters,throughout the year it runs well on time. Hardly gets late but during winters late run of 2-3 hrs is a regular thing for it. It gets a great amount of clearance in between pune-londa. Just Great speed with all kind of scenic beauty,starting from developed urban north central india, to rural maharashtra and further to the great ghat of braganza.

you are planning to trek to the Dudhsagar Falls, this is the best train.
Get down at Castle Rock, wait until 7 am and start the Trek.
The toilets are in bearable condition.
The Sleeper coaches are clean compared to other trains.
There is a menace of eunuch's and beggars until you reach Satara(Going by my experience in Sleeper Coach)
Overall a very good train which is very punctual.

Occasionally, tickets in current availability are available in AC 2 Tier and AC 3 Tier from Bhopal all the way to Vasco.

Ultra clean 2A coaches (UBL coaches), toilets were clean. But I've seen rats in the same coaches so beware of them. There is a halt at BSL(on Day 2) for water filling.
