from howrah, when this train rake start as coromandel,its very neat and clean. Onboard housekeeping staff are present,who clean the whole train first once after kharagpur. room spray are sprayed. and toilets are also neat and clean. SER howrah really send this rake like a king from howrah but as after 3 days it returns to howrah as chennai mail,it becomes dirty and stinky...all thanks to our aam janta travelling and negligence of houskeeping and SR.

Train late by ovee 1 hour 36 mins. Almost missed connection at Chennai Egmore. Thia is a habit of this superfast train. If you cannot maintain punctuality then stop runninf this train and tipping people off with exorbitant fares. I will only fly from noq on.
