Travelled on May 2017 from Udupi to Panvel station and here are my observations
-Dont opt for sleeper,pathetic as hell.Daily commuters will try to take your seat.
-Charger points dont work,Rats and rodents can be found toilets always stink.
-Dinner avaible just before Madgaon,I suggest pack the food from Madgaon station.
-A

passenger train between Udupi and Madgaon.Post Madgaon-Panvel superb run.
-General coaches are a hell type especially during peak seasons
Overall A train having good priority in KR but mantainence is worst

TT usually won't allow any passengers with general ticket to enter into reserved coach. He usually charges some amount for a seat (if empty). Might be one off case in my coach.

Is ten minutes enough to get packed food at Madgaon? Maybe mine was a different experience as it was a couple of years back. The Chappati and Chicken served before Madgaon was quite good

Cleanliness is an issue as it comes from Kerala as TVC-MAQ exp. But I totally disagree on "Daily passengers taking your seat". There are no daily passengers on this route and the people here are civilised enough to understand the difference between General coaches & Reserved coaches.

If you are from western suburbs ...and u need to save time and reach ur home as early as possible... then get down at panvel itself and catch a local to kurla nd then to dadar..... matsyagandha would be just arrived at thane and by that time u would be already in dadar :D Reason is it wastes a lot of time waiting at Diva outer and entering the mainline ... and moves slowly further till thane most of the time

Alternately, take a local Panvel to Wadala, there you take the Andheri local. There is a Panvel to Andheri local at about 6am.
Kurla/Dadar are to crowded if you have bulky luggage & families. Now you can book Ola Cabs online via their app & you will be picked within 10minutes, Far more cheaper & Comfortable Ac than prepaid taxi, not advisable for people with bulky luggage

Kundapur/Honnavar/karwar people...book frm udupi itself to mumbai (if in case there are waiting lists ) because udupi falls under general waitlist nd tickets will easily get confirmed even inspite of long WLs
