I had travelled in this train on Saturday 26th January from BZA to SC in CE1.
On that day, there were only 4 AC Chair car coaches(C1,C2,C3 and CE1) instead of the regular 5 coaches. Post GNT, the coach got packed to capacity.
Topmost priority was accorded to this train, and all the incoming trains were looped in to allow this train to pass thru. We reached SC around 5 minutes before time.
Regular...
more... OBHS was being carried out, with the attendant collecting the trash from the pax, everytime the catering vendor served foodstuff/drinks in the coach.
Regarding catering, Tea/Coffee (1 time), Tomato Soup (2 times - 20 Rs/cup), Onion Samosa (20 Rs/plate), Veg/egg Biryani and Chapati Bhaji(Rs 50/- per plate) were served enroute. Its better to purchase Veg/Egg Biryani or Chapati Bhaji, as nothing else is served later, and you would have to wait till SC for food.
Overall a fantastic train to travel in, and the Nalgonda skip at top speed is a sight worth watching.
