Punctuality factor is true but rest is false.
This Journey Turned Out To Be A Nightmare. The Worst Train Journey In Last 5 Years. It Maintained Its Schedule Till ASN. From There It Started Getting Delayed. Reached PNBE & MGS 1 Hr Behind Schedule. As We Woke Up In The Morning, We Learned That The Train Is Running 4 Hours Late. And Since Then It Never Behaved Like A "Super Fast". Reached NDLS At 12 Noon. Pantry Staffs Are Worst Of All. Through Out The Journey, They Only Offered TEA & No Coffee. Even There Wasnt Biscuits With Tea Even Though They Charged INR 10/- . Even On Board House Keeping Staffs Were Not As Efficient As In Gyaneshwari Or Gitanjali

Don't worry I am with you. I have faced same problem with 12304 a little year ago. I would like to mention you that 12381/12382 Poorva Express via Gaya is more Punctual than 12303/12304 Poorva Express via Patna.

Dipanjanda, Poorva has Super Service. It was First Super Deluxe Train of India. Poorva is fifth Best train After Howrah Rajdhani, Sealdah Rajdhani, HWH-NDLS Duronto and SDAH-NDLS Duronto Between Kolkata and Delhi

To be honest, I'd prefer 12303 over 12273, as 12273 has less stops but appears to behind Poorva throughout the journey judging by time.

(Duronto has 5 stops - Poorva has 23. If you think about it. it should enough time to overtake, but Poorva remains ahead throughout)

Duronto

also will have dynamic fare, unlike Poorva.
My choice between HWH-NDLS:
1. 12301
2. 12313
3. 12381
4. 12303
5. 12259 (poor punctuality)
6. 12273

For NDLS-HWH
1. 12302
2. 12314
3. 12382
4. 12260
5. 12304
6. 12274

12382 and 12304 are the most punctual Poorva's among 12381 and 12303
If you are planning to go from Poorva Express from NDLS to HWH then you can take this train but if you are planning to go from HWH to NDLS plz don't take risk , you can take Duronto or Rajdhani Express

South mein bhi hota hai bhai. Vskp-ru, ned-sbc, maq-ers, majn-kawr mein maine travel kiya hai, aur wahan whi hota hai, eastern coast ke side waale states jaise, WB, OR, AP, mein ye menace jyada hai. Actually all india ye problem hai. Chahe kisi region mein travel kar rahe ho, wo clapping sound to kabhi na kabhi sunne ko mil hi jaata hai. Mera abhi tak 3rd gender free journey with distance 800 kms + is Kota to BDTS by 19020 Ddn-Bdts Exp.

I traveled on 28.02.2017 and that is the worst punctual train i had ever seen. If you have enough time then only buy the ticket up-to New Delhi. Till Mughal Sarai Junction running status is good but after that nightmare starts.
