Awesome Report, Sir. ☺
My dream of traveling on this train was finally realized on my recent visit to India. Have taken a lot of video footage and will upload one at a time. Two runs stood out for me - the first was a cracking 3.5 hour non-stop run from Igatpuri to Bhusaval outer, blazing through everything. The 2nd was a 5 hr 35 mt run from ET to STA with only one unscheduled halt at Madan Mahal. Pipariya, Jabalpur, Katni, Maihar, ... was skipped. My 3AC coach was pretty much full till Satna. I observed many people getting down at Satna. Looks like it is a well patronized halt, since it provides good connections for Rewa.

noted that there are now direct trains from Nagpur, Rajkot, Delhi and Bilaspur to Rewa. What is stopping IR from introducing a direct Mumbai-Rewa train?
As far as the maintenance of the LHB rake is concerned, it is quite mediocre. For example, a lot of the walls near the door area had vinyl coverings getting peeled off, presenting a very grotesque look. Evening snacks were really good as well as the breakfast. Dinner was ok.

Sharp Observations Sir. I too observed few things that were quite common with this train.
1. Whenever the train gets delayed, it's never able to cover up the same only more delay gets added up.
2. Low priority at Allahabad and Mumbai, if you travel in return you'll yourself observe that Entering Mumbai is a herculean task for this train, heavily trolled at Igatpuri outer, Kalyan outer, Thane outer and LTT outer (it doesn't feel like Duronto there).
3.

Average Maintainence of coaches, poorly maintained flushes and door area of coaches.
If these things get improved upon then this train would be Perfect for traveling.
There are indeed some last minute travelers from Bhusawal for claim of empty seats, but Igatpuri as a commercial halt is completely useless.

3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

    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...
