1 compliments Punctuality factor is true but rest is false.
This Journey Turned Out To Be A Nightmare. The Worst Train Journey In Last 5 Years. It Maintained Its Schedule Till ASN. From There It Started Getting Delayed. Reached PNBE & MGS 1 Hr Behind Schedule. As We Woke Up In The Morning, We Learned That The Train Is Running 4 Hours Late. And Since Then It Never Behaved Like A "Super Fast". Reached NDLS At 12 Noon. Pantry Staffs Are Worst Of All. Through Out The Journey, They Only Offered TEA & No Coffee. Even There Wasnt Biscuits With Tea Even Though They Charged INR 10/- . Even On Board House Keeping Staffs Were Not As Efficient As In Gyaneshwari Or Gitanjali
1. Probably the most punctual SF train between Howrah & Delhi. Though it takes significant time to travel but it seldoms gets as late as other trains do in NCR. NCR gives this train a respectable priority. 2. There is a massive demand for this train. Tickets fill up quicker than even 12381/12303. 3. There is a reserved '2S' coach that can be booked for reservation. However be advised such an arrangement exists only on paper. For all practical purposes this is a GS coach. 4.... more...
Coaches are relatively old but maintainence is top notch, even better than 12303/12381 in some instances. I travelled once in 3A & once in 2A, and I can attest this fact that the maintainence is top notch. OBHS service is periodic and meticulous. 5. Try to Avoid Pantry food. Book online from intermediately situated big stations.
Honestly saying service was worst, no salad, water, even roti they provided, no bill provide when I ask for it, food was not tasty, service was really really worst, umeed se b bura tha, don't know about AC pax service but sleeper was really worst

This train is the best train for Railfans who want to see the ghats of Koderma. I take this train always from ALJN to HWH. Cleanliness was top notch. I did not see better cleaning service in any other train - similar to Rajdhani. Food was hot, tasty and fresh. And it usually arrives at HWH 20-30 minutes early these days. Speed is regular. It hits 130 kmph mark and occasionally I saw the maximum speed recording in my speedometer app 146kmph. The Deluxe Express is still living up to its name. Congratulations... more...
