Track: Single Diesel-Line

Loco: The Ypr garib rath runs with electric locomotives from start to finish. Most of the time, it's the LGD WAP7/4 locomotives that are used, about 7 out of 10 times. Food: It's better to buy some food in SC before getting on the train. After Lingampally, there's nothing available. But on my last two trips, I noticed a guy selling veg and egg biryani. Punctuality: The train runs with great punctuality until DMM. After DMM, it can sometimes get delayed by 10-20 minutes, and in rare cases, it can be delayed by an hour or so. Railfanning: From a railfanning perspective, this train is excellent. It usually reaches speeds of 110 km/h, and I even saw it reach 115 km/h between Lpi and RC. Not sure if it was a GPS error, but it definitely felt faster than 110 km/h. Hygiene: The washrooms are totally clean. Cons: 1) People unnecessarily rush for bedsheets, even though there are plenty available. 2) The side middle berth is a curse in this train. It's totally uncomfortable for an average guy like me, who is of average height and build.

12/12/14 को इस ट्रेन में सफर किया। यहाँ के बाहर और अंदर बहुत साफ थी। लगभग सभी कोच चमक रहे थे। बेडरोल भी साफ था। जबरदस्त गति से चली और YPR पहुंची, थोड़ी देर से। तापमान ठीक था; न बहुत ठंडा न बहुत गर्म। सभी पहलुओं में एक बहुत अच्छी ट्रेन।

Yeh train kaafi sudhar gayi hai toilet saaf safai, khana aur bistar ke kapde ki uparwa se.
Staff bhi kaafi polite ho gaya hai, lekin safar ke ant mein bakhshish maangte hain magar woh toh natural hai itni kam salary ke wajah se.
Par overall yeh KR ke liye aur Goa aur Trivandrum ke yatriyon ke liye best train hai.

Coaches purane hain....Train waqt par Secunderabad pahunchti hai....Visakhapatnam aur Secunderabad ke beech me limited stops hain....is train me confirm ticket milna mushkil hai.
