The best train ever for Mumbai-Bhopal-Mumbai. Very clean train and marvellous speed. Only draw back is that the train gets a little slow in between Itarsi & Bhopal. Otherwise the best train ever and could do with more reserved compartments. The train has an awesome average speed between IGP-ET. Not to mention there are enough food and tea-vendors with good quality tea and food to keep you occupied throughout the journey.
The best thing about this train is that you reach Bhopal from Mumbai within 12-13 hours which is absolutely fantastic and same for the return journey i.e. from Bhopal to Mumbai in almost 12-13 hours! Absolutely Marvellous! This train is the pride of Central Railways upto Bhopal and pride of NER upto Lucknow.
This train should be given a heritage status in IR after Durrontos, Shatabadis and Rajdhanis.
Seriously, I am tired of praising it now but I cannot stop praising this train. It is my favourite train from Mumbai to Bhopal and from Bhopal to Mumbai.
