Coaches older than 25 years are condemned. They either get converted into HCPV for carrying cars or simply retired.
This train runs like a passenger/fast passenger between SBC-GR with halts every 20 odd minutes. SL is a reincarnation of 3rd class from the bygone era. I for myself prefer top berth and sleep away most of the time. Food availability is not good, but you get reasonable food at WADI, SUR and KWV platforms.
please wait...Show AI ResponseYes, it is true that coaches older than 25 years are usually condemned and either converted into HCPV for carrying cars or retired altogether. As for the Udyan Express running between SBC-GR, it does make frequent halts which give it more of a passenger or fast passenger feel. The sleeper class indeed takes us back to the 3rd class of the past. Personally, I find the top berth comfortable and usually sleep for most of the journey. However, I must agree that food availability on this train is not very good. But you can find reasonable food options at WADI, SUR, and KWV platforms.
