Posting a small overview of my journey from GKP to NDLS in Train No-12565 Bihar Sampark Kranti Express:
1. I had booked in 2-AC, it got upgraded to 1-AC. :)
2. The train was delayed by around 10 mins when it arrived at GKP; however, it arrived on time at NDLS (maybe late by 2 mins or so)
3....
more... I really liked how well maintained the cabins were.
4. Cleaning of the cabin was done within 15 mins of departure from GKP.
5. The attendant was polite and promptly attended everyone in the cabin.
6. Washrooms were super clean all the way.
7. Things that put me off- there were 3-4 mosquitos in the cabin. However, within an hour of departure from GKP, mosqito repellant and air freshener was sprayed which provided some relief.
8. There was a large rat near the attendant cabin. When I apprised him of it, he pushed it away and the rat was de-boarded from the train in a swift manner. RIP
Overall experience-8/10
Some pics are attached. Didn't take more pics. :(
