if you tavelling in this train from Udupi/UD to Mumbai CST/CSTM then dont book from UD to CSTM else you will get reservation in Pooled Quota/PQ. Book from Surathkal/SL, it is just 1 station before Udupi/UD. You will get benefit of GN quota.
dear manoj ji, there is either WL or CNF tickets in PQ. my suggestion was to switct to GN quota when PQ from UD is running waiting list. Most of the time, Udupi/UD shows PQWL#30, while GN from Surathkal/SL is RAC#20 at same time.
"when PQ from UD is running waiting list" was missing in original post. I can understand, but others may not. They may ask - why spend extra money when berths from my station are available. Thanks for clarifying that this is only when PQ is under WL.
2A and 3A coaches are maintained superbly and have awesome cleanliness standards. Sleeper coaches have average maintainance and decent cleanliness levels. But the AC coaches are just top notch.
Even sleeper classes are comparatively good. One who usually travel in AC coaches can still travel in sleeper class in this train. Toilets are also clean.
