The best possible train between Guwahati and Howrah. Nothing more to tell about the Punctuality, most of the time bang on time or run late by 10-20 minutes.
Food is a major concern in this train. Few years back this train does not use to carry any pantry car, lately PC was added. Food given by the PC is good, well not the best but good, u can depend. Those passengers who don't want to have the PC food can avail for e-catering available or an another option is that this train pulls in at NJP at 0730-0745 pm, hence if anyone wants can have food from local vendors from NJP.

more... Coaches are well cleaned and maintained. SL coaches are also cleaned well, but the SL coaches are quite rusty and old. Thanks to OBHS if they haven't maintained the cleanliness then with the rusty old coaches it would be hard for the passengers. Apart from that all good.
For Railfanning, it is very good. Would encounter Rajdhani in between. Hence in total a very good train.
please wait...Translate to HindiGuwahati aur Howrah ke beech sabse best train. Punctuality ke baare mein kuch aur nahi bolna, mostly time par aati hai ya fir 10-20 minutes late hoti hai. Food kaafi badi concern hai is train mein. Kuch saal pehle is train ke paas koi pantry car nahi hota tha, lekin abhi PC lag gaya hai. PC se diya gaya khana accha hai, best nahi lekin accha, depend kar sakte ho. Jinki taraf se PC ka khana nahi chahiye wo e-catering se order kar sakte hain ya fir yeh option hai ki yeh train 0730-0745 pm ko NJP mein rukti hai, toh waha se local vendors se khana le sakte hain.
AC Coaches saaf-suthri hain aur ache se maintain ki gayi hain. SL coaches bhi achhe se saaf hain, lekin thode rusty aur purane hain. OBHS ki wajah se agar cleanliness maintain nahi hoti toh passengers ke liye rusty coaches ke saath mushkil hoti. Iske alawa sab kuch achha hai.
Railfanning ke liye bohot achha hai. Beech mein Rajdhani train bhi aati hai. Isliye overall bohot achhi train hai.
