Traveled in this train to Puri from Howrah on 13.12.2020 and returned in 02838 on 17.12.2020. It was my maiden train journey since lockdown eases in India. I was little bit anxious about the safety from Covid-19 during the journey. However, it was hustle free and safe journey as crowd was less compared to normal situation. Most of the passengers were very much aware about their own safety and arranged for protection accordingly.
02837 reached Puri at 06:29, 41 minutes before scheduled time of 07:10(thus took only 7hr. 54min.)

more... As it is special service, many small stoppages like Mancheswar, Delang, Sakhi Gopal were removed for both 02837 and 02838.
#ADMIN please note there is no stoppage between KUR and PURI.
Due to less passengers, A2 and A3 were not there in both 02837 and 02838.
