Now-a-days it maintains timing only upto asn/kiul afterwards starts loosing time. Condition worsens in PNBE-MGS section by the chain pulling by daily up down passengers in the section and frequent stoppages like ara/buxar/danapur. And if it reaches MGS late more than 30 mins, then gets trolled by SK, and raj gang. Avoid this train specially in upcoming foggy winter season.
Apart from timing ,
coach condition - good,
food/bedding

- ok,
cleanliness - ok.
