This one is really old train running on one of the longest route.covering many states and half of India and giving service.But it does not fit in now.its been long since this train never came on time or reached.i have been seeing this train for past 5 years and its rare if I ever saw this train on time.plus its very difficult to get a seat reserved in this train, service is good in it but sleeper class compartments need a change and plus they should atleast try to maintain its time punctuallity.
