Yes it got good priority on MGS-CNB section. Overtook WB SK and Poortottar SK and reached Kanpur with a delay of hardly 30 mins.
Food is average, nothing noteworthy. Lunch was served immediately after departure from NJP which had 2 paratha, matar paneer, dal rice, pickle and ice cream. Tea was served in the evening. Dinner was also pretty much the same as lunch where matar paneer was replaced by palak paneer.
Maintenance is good, new rake.
Staff...
more... behaviour is very good, they kept asking for extra food if needed.
Cleanliness, I am afraid but this is not upto Rajdhani standards.
Occupancy- it was running almost empty till Patna but got full from PPTA. No one got down at CNB, so all ANVT bound pax.
