I travelled on this train recently i.e on 29th may 2018.The train is well maintained by CR but the condition of sleeper is worst.Local people enroute uses this train.And top of that even 3rd ac tiers arent spared.Post wadi junction,when the 3rd ac seats were vacant,few people boarded the 3rd ac with having "First class" tickets.They use this as their destination after paying tte a few bucks.But for safety purpose opt Ac still.
Food:-Food quality has been slightly improved but not much.You will get Veg as non veg food.I opted for non veg food which cost me about 150 rupees.
Cleanliness:-Like always,Ac maintaince is very good as compared to Sleeper.However toilet is choked up by the time train reaches Solapur.At solapur station,OBHS cleans the toilet.
Punctuality:-Also known as the "Slack mail".Most of the time train gets delayed by 1 to sometimes even 2 hours till wadi.From wadi it covers some of the time and ultimately reaches Guntakal ontime or a delay of 20-35 mins.
Railfanning:-A great train.Must say it gets looped for every train(Not for pass/demu though).Try not to miss the brutal overtake by "12025" pune Secunderabad shatabdi express.Normally it gets ot before kurduvadi.
Availability:-Despite slowest train to Chennai, train is having good demand.So try to book least 2 months advance.
Any point is missing/wrong or u wanna add? Pls let me know :)

Main 29 May 2018 ko is train se travel kiya tha. Train CR ki taraf se bahut achchi tarah se maintain ki jati hai, lekin sleeper ki condition bahut kharab hai. Local log is train ko raaste mein use karte hain. Aur uske upar, 3rd AC tiers bhi bacha nahin hai. Wadi junction ke baad, jab 3rd AC seats khali thi, to kuchh log "First class" tickets lekar 3rd AC mein chad gaye. Woh TTE ko kuchh paise de kar isko apna destination banate hain. Lekin safety ke liye, AC ko hi choose karo.
Food:- Food quality thodi improve hui hai, lekin bahut zyada nahin. Vegetarian food ke jaise hi non-vegetarian food milega. Maine non-vegetarian food liya tha, jiska price 150 rupees tha.
Cleanliness:- Jaise hamesha, AC ki maintenance sleeper ki tulna mein bahut achchi hai. Halanki, Solapur pahunchte tak toilet band ho jata hai. Solapur station pe, OBHS toilet saaf karta hai.
Punctuality:- Isko "Slack mail" bhi kaha jata hai. Zyadatar time pe train 1 se 2 ghanta tak Wadi tak late ho jati hai. Wadi se, woh kuchh time cover kar leta hai, aur aakhir mein Guntakal time pe ya 20-35 minute late pahunchta hai.
Railfanning:- Bahut achchi train hai. Yahan yeh kehna jaruri hai ki yeh har train ke liye loop hoti hai (pass/DEMU ke liye nahi). "12025" Pune Secunderabad Shatabdi Express ke brutal overtake ko miss mat karna. Normaly, yeh Kurduvadi se pehle overtake hoti hai.
Availability:- Chennai jaane wali sabse slow train hone ke bawjood, is train ki demand bahut achchi hai. Isliye, kam se kam 2 mahine pehle book karne ki koshish karo.
Kya koi point miss ho gaya hai / galat hai / ya aap kuchh aur add karna chahte hain? Kripya bataye.
