The train has a mps of 110 kmph, hence, has average speed like that of a superfast. Surprisingly I have been observing this train from a year, and it has mas division coaches which are 130 fit for 12611/12 MAS-NZM-MAS GR. so, Restriction of GR to 110 in KR is not understandable! This kind of special treatment is even done to other GRs like JBP and NGP GR, i.e giving them a sf timetable instead of faster rajdhani type.
Cleanliness of the rake is fine, without even one cleaning staff! That is lots said about the ethics of the people travelling in this train. Catering is not done, even vendors at Mangaluru n all r not good. Best thing would be to

order online.
About the schedule of the train, it was awesome, 30 mins late at ERN, 20 mins BT at Majn, Panvel few mins late and Thane ontime.
But, however my travel had tragic ending. A man met with an accident while arriving thane. As the train was arriving, he boy fell into the gap between the train and the platform. Reportedly, he was clicking selfie. I deboarded at thane and the train was still awaited at platform no.8 for almost 30-40 mins.

In yet another rail accident, a 43-year-old commuter died today, when he got trapped between the platform and the express train at Thane railway station.
The commuter, Kodakil Vellamuddan Chandran, an engineer, was travelling in the Kochivili-Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Garib Rath Express towards LTT.
As the train was about to halt at platform number eight, the commuter while alighting from an AC compartment fell straight into the gap between the platform and the rake, sources in the Railway Police said.

medical team from a hospital was pressed into action but they could not pull him out. A portion of the platform was broken to extricate him, but he died while being removed from the gap.
The Railway Police have registered a case of accidental death following the death of the commuter.
The express train, which arrived shortly after 1100 hours in the morning, was delayed by more than 50 minutes following the mishap, sources said, adding, further probe was still on. UNI XR SS PY AJ SB2305

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
