Msg_For_Train_Bookings^~ 21038 blog postsGetting a confirmed ticket in this train from various Remote Locations is almost impossible since the Remote Location Quota gets exhausted on the opening day of bookings itself. Also confirmation of RLWL tickets is very difficult. Meanwhile the berths from General Quota take long time to fill up. So if you are looking for confirmed berths or atleast RAC always book from Payangadi/PAZ as it offers General Quota.

Subeesh Venugopal~ 6165 blog postsI have traveled by this train many times. I have no issues with the timing and punctuality but the rakes are too dirty,bad and smelly. The food is also very waste. Last time when i had traveled by this train(12618), the vendors were caught for taking water from bathroom for making tea. This has happened again recently too in 12617. IR should really realize that passengers are paying money for their comfort and should at least pay a small attention towards such things. The rakes should be well maintained too.
well do you think that's a good approach? why to expect less from SR train? all passengers traveling in SR trains pay the same amount like other passengers traveling in NR or ER trains.
i must tell you the NR train like asr-kcvl and 12431 are not that clean and hygienic either.
i too agree such good train should have got lhb but due to lots of corruption we are delaying
well getting LHB is a different thing but at least they can maintain coaches. I'm a frequent traveler in 12625,12431,12617. i have many bad experiences and have mentioned it in complaint book as well but no use.
very sad RIP victims of this accident. i too travel in this train many time from jhansi to kalyan.
Does someone amongst the authorities care to see these blogs and try to do something to improve railways??
