Better to avoid this train and take Mao Maq pass,as it takes more time to travel and save your money and precious time.Both are of same speed but it has more stops but this has very less.Although SF it halts at many many intermediate stations for xings,so very late.Up train is quite punctual,but down train is running 60-120 mins late.No proper catering.Only samosa and vada pav available that too for very small quantity for ₹25.Coffee tea available.Speed is average.Very late upto Kundapur but gains little speed after Kundapur to Surathkal.But after Surathkal very very slow.Takes 30 minutes to reach Majn to Maq.It travels through Majn main platform at 10-15 kmph speed,but don't have stop there.It should have a stop at Majn because more people get down there.Instead of this again one alternate option is from Mao or Kawr we can take a night train and reach Majn early morning and has...
more... stop at majn if Netravati or other express.Because this train usually reaches Maq at 11:00 to 12:00 night.
