Useful
If you are a Nature lover The ~1 hour section between Yelahanka (YNK) and Gauribidanur (GBD) is very beautiful, where the train pass through vast plains, curving through several hills. Get a window seat to your right (YNK GBD) to enjoy the view.

Best train to see the beauty of Koraput - Rayagada section, which is loaded with Tunnels, tall bridges, thick forests, hills, vast agricultural lands, village tribes, animals ... i mean the train route from Koraput to Rayagada is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
This train runs fairly empty until Rayagada, so you wont find any trouble getting a window seat / door spot :-)
The mini-samosa's sold by the local vendors for breakfast after the train crosses Damanjodi are super yummy :-)

If you are visiting Jagdalpur, there are 2 phenomenal waterfalls within an hours drive: Tiratgarh Falls & Chitrakot Falls (dont forget to take the boat ride here). Definitely worth visiting !!

Post 10:45 departure of 11014 CBE-LTT Express there is no train from Pune to Mumbai till 15:30 departure of Deccan Express BUT dont panic and just relax,
Take this train 11026 Pune-Bsl upto Karjat, deboard at 13:36 on PF #3 and on the very next PF (EMU PF) there is a KJT-CSTM Fast Local at 14:00 hrs which leaves you to CSTM @16:00 hrs.
This chain is also used by Kalyan bound passengers who dont prefer the detour via Panvel and in the process 20 precious minutes are also saved.

Travelled in 2AC end to end NZM to CSMT. Welcome drink and snacks (Bhujiya, Chana, a small Samosa, Tea, frooti type juice, soan papdi) was provided shortly after the departure. No bedding post covid obviously. 130 MPS started after TKD. Was never at time at each and every station in the trip. The delays began from AGC (15 min) till CSMT (32 min delayed). Though 130 mps was still maintained between various sections (VGLB - BPL , AGC - GWL). Was bit slow in GWL-VGLB route.

Lunch provided, 3 parathas, 1...

chicken curry/paneer mutter dish, 1 dal (which was bland), 1 cup curd, 1 packet pickle and at the end ice cream. No soup was provided.

Next morning breakfast, 2 bread, 2 veg cutlet, small sachet butter, 1 packet sauce, bed tea with 2 biscuit and also tea provided during breakfast. Veg cutlet was delicious (and best food in journey) and should be selected as breakfast option in the route. Not sure about Upma and omlette.

The train stopped 130 mps and restricted to 110 mps post entering in Maharashtra (after Jalgaon Junction). Delay was covered between Nashik and Kalyan but still not enough to reach on time.
