Best overnight train to BBS and BAM from HWH. OBHS available in train but too much unreserved passengers flock the Sleeper class right from the morning and the litter fest continues. Food is affordable and good, you will get Samosa, Alu bonda (dont miss this, Rs 20 for two with a sachet of sauce), Water bottle and generic Indian Railway breakfast of bread cutlet and bread omelette. Maintains great speed throughout, may get overtake by some Day trains at stations but eventually overtakes them. Ticket availability is horrible as this train gets full as soon as the booking windows open. Same thing happens in Tatkal too. Also, in return journey, you'll get dinner on Day 2 at Khurda Road and BBS.

Jerks are prominent throughout the train due to Center Buffer Coupling mechanism for safety.
On basis of Reserved coach composition
From HWH to VSKP- S1 is the least to suffer jerks, and HA1 is the most. Even on 1A, those jerks were prominent, keep a bottle on the table and at the time of departure, it falls off.
From VSKP to MAS- HA1

is the least to suffer, but S1-pray for the pax. _/\_ _/\_
Hope Railways implement LHB to this legend and its RSA Flagship part.

Uniquely coromandel(RSA) and mail runs faster eventhough mail has several halts..mail's run may be late in small stops but it runs faster to cover the lost time in major halts like vijayawada,visakhapatnam,bhubaneshwar and HWH..It can cover even its lost time of 2 hours between vijayawada-Visakhaptnam line.
