Food - No onboard food facility. At ADI outer when train is slow, some private vendors board the train and take orders. Idli sambhar/Aaloo paratha/sandwiches- All 70 rs each. Expensive? Then get down at PF, go to stall, take pakodas/ bhajji/ dhoklas & tea. You will be done in 40-50 rs and food items will be good. I took a plate of dhokla & tea for rs 40.
4. Security - RPFs are there in the train till BRC. After that none. Till BRC, no one is allowed to open gates except the attendant, if there is boarding/deboarding at any station. So its OK in night.
5. You will get all the facilities promised in HS coach (minus curtains). CP at each berth, reading light, plain SL berth.
6. Beddings are crisp & clean. If you want to sleep as soon as you board, then please take the pillow from attendant. As he first changes pillow covers & then distributes, which makes it a bit late, almost till 1 am.
Overall a good train but should be speeded up in BDTS - ADI section by atleast 45 min-60 min
