Got a chance to travel by this train from YPR to CBE on 9/10/16, and here is the report:
Reached YPR at 19:30 hrs , just then YPR-HWH express was departing from PF#6 and the display board showed YPR-Cannanore as PF#2 and MYS-Solapur Golgumbaz as PF#3, while YPR-Solapur was standing in PF#1.
There were two TVs at PF#6 Entrance, they were displaying Live arrival status of incoming trains by obtaining data from NTES.

At around 20:10 hrs, KSK was shunted in to PF#6
At around 20:15, the King (22691) passed through PF2 hauled by KJM WDP-4B at a decent speed, later I went and boarded my coach and took my SLB...
At sharp 9PM, we started with a WDM-3D of KJM shed. The display board in my coach was not functional. At around 9:15PM, paid Rs.25 and took bedroll set. Rchd BAND around 21:30 hrs and after that, went off to sleep..
Woke up at around 01:10 AM, train was already in SA, seemed like a good run. But we left only at 01:40AM and in the 30 min halt, 12601 and 22639 overtook us as they had an earlier arrival time @ CBE...
After that, slept only to momentarily wake up @ ED @ 02:50, after that woke up only near Irugur, train was blasting, and we reached CBE Pf#1 at 04:23 AM, quite a decent run... Looks like, I was the only person who got down at CBE. At 04:25AM, the train departed CBE as announcements went for 12671 to arrive on PF#3 and TVC-MAS Super AC to arrive on PF#6...
