Getting a confirmed ticket for Pune to Hyderabad in this train is much easier as compared to 17031 CSTM HYD express as 17031 have RLWL quota for Pune to Hyderabad which if having RLWL 20+ in SL class then difficult to get confirm.
Whereas 17013 Pune HYD express enjoys a GNWL quota but which comes at an expense of slower timetable, poor catering, poor cleanliness and odd arrival timings at Lingampalli/Begumpet.
