Try not to order food from the pantry, worthless food. Use online train food ordering sites.

Beware of regular veg meals being sold at Rs. 120/- instead on Rs. 50. They will not say anything while taking orders but will later say that was a la carte! Please complaint 24X7 at 1800111321 or SMS complaint to 9711111139

A.C coaches are well maintained. On board house keeping staff continuously cleans the compartment. Toilets are also clean. Personally travelled from BZA to BLS in 3rd A.C. Attendents were also humble in nature. And they promptly were present to wake up aged or asleep passenger who were to de-board at early morning stations like BBS,CTC. Only problem is they ask for some "kharchha paani" while de-boarding.
You will never ever get this train running empty or less than 100% occupancy. Sleeper were like hell lot of crowd.
