Ok. This is typical bullshit reported by media asking random questions at random people and generalizing it
1. No way. It was consistently hitting 110 at all MPS sections. It was ahead of time in every station by atleast 5-10 mins. Maybe someone is travelling for the first time in AC which naturally makes you feel the speed is lesser than the non AC counterpart at the same speed.
2. This is not a Shatabdi equivalent for gods sake. This is a regular passenger train with AC DD coaches. Depending on how people...
more... use this train, appropriate stoppages can be removed.
3. You take Brindavan. It will have 4 toilets , but how many you can use is a completely different issue due to vendors / hawkers and unreserved folks using the reserved coaches.
4. As normal as other trains.
5. Agreed. It was a bit cramped.
6. Baseless.
Overall, my feedback based on my travel yesterday was that
1. Seating was a bit cramped. This is my biggest complaint.
2. Some of the window seats were having no windows to look out properly.
3. Timings can be reduced easily by around 20-30 minutes overall.
4. Smooth ride and good sound proofing.
Media reports are always subjective when they ask stupid questions to people ignorant on that subject.
