from Mumbai to Pune on 16 02 2019.
Coach:-C4,well maintained
Here are my reviews:-

Punctuality:-A superb priority all the way to pune.Non stop run between Mumbai Csmt and Karjat/Lonavala-Shivajinagar(Pune).If you have a connecting train from pune to solapur/satara side at night,dont hesitate to board this train.Pf avability is never a issue for this train.

Food:-Instead of taking orders from food staffs,go to the "Dining car" of this train,one and only "Restaurant train" in india and enjoy the foods.!

Cleanliness:-Top notch.! CC are well maintained as expected.

Railfanning:-A negative point.You get a little daylight for railfanning because by the time it reaches karjat,darkness prevails.However,you gdt ample of crossings provided if you are in 2S or general.

Avability:-The avability of this train is good,book your tickets least 10 days in advance and for festival times,book least 30-45 days in advance.

Any point is missing/wrong/u wanna add? please let me know.!

Not agree
Coffee Tea only rs 7 in such a famed coach. There is where the railways lose the plot. It should be rs 10-15.

Tea coffee are nectars of most travelers.
The price structure is made such that it becomes affordable to all.
if one eats costly food, for him tea coffee price is meagre peanuts.
If person who can not afford costly food items, but wants only tea he too can enjoy

DQ's loco which used to be Kalyan WCAM 3 has been downgraded to WCAM 2P. The train reaches Dadar normally at 10:15 am and CSTM at 10:30 am. Before it used to get preference over CR locals. But now it becomes late as this train doesnt get any preference and locals are given priorty.

Coach D10 accomodates CK Passengers ( Tatkal Quota Passengers ), and is disconnected from the Rest of the train. So the Pantry car Guy only come once at Karjat for selling only 3 Food Itmes i.e Cutlet, Omlette and Sandwitch. You Will not be able to Enjoy the Variety of Food items on this train if you get reserved in D10 and you cannot also go to the Dining Car as the Coach do not have vestibules. Rest the train is excellent but slightly get delayed by approx 10 Minutes while arriving Pune Station

Get down at karjat , go to dining car . You have 45 minutes time to enjoy breakfast and enjoying bhor ghat scenary doorplating and then come back to your seat at lonavala . You need to request and persuade daily commuters ( a bit difficult)for door plating
