So i got a chance again to travel on my favourite train the 12127 Intercity express to pune.Add to icing on the cake is that it got LHB!
So here are my reviews
Punctuality:-By far the average delay of this train is 10-15 mins,which is acceptable.And gets a superb priority throughout the route.The only problem is between Thane to Kalyan as many a times this train gets trolled by 15017 Ksshi express due to x-over.Therrafter Intercity runs like a "King" in Kalyan-Karjat and Lonavala-Pune.
Cleanliness:-Excellent.Rather...
more... i should day Pune division has maintained this train in a very good condition. Toilet was well maintained too.
Comfort:-Many people have complained that LHB non ac chair cars are giving their back a pain! So it would be good option to opt Ac chair car.Same comfort as that of Shatabdis.
Avability:-Just like other trains, purchase the ticket well in advance if travelling on weekends/festival season.Reason being is many people opt this train first for travelling,and the Ac cc in this train gets booked quickly.
Railfanning:-Please opt for General coach.Daily passengers have a "Gundagiri" type on this train as if they own!
Else take deccan.Deccan takes a hell lot of time but good for railfanning.
Any point is Missing/WRONG? please let me know!
