I boarded this train at Ernakulam Junction. Main advantage is the train covers Konkan route in daytime (from Mangaluru to Panvel). It reaches Nizamuddin on time. I travelled in 2AC.
Coaches are neat. Food is ok. Staff was very cooperative.
Fastest train connecting Trivandrum to Nizamuddin.
In Kota-H.Nizamuddin line, speed goes upto 130 km/h.

Now the side lower berth also has a charging point. All thanks to the new 2015 made LHB coaches.
A big relief to Rajdhani passengers. As in old LHB coaches, there was no charging point on Side lower berths due to large window.
Here 're some pics of Charging point on Side lower berth of 2A coach. And same is the scenario of 3A coaches.

Re# 1817351-3              
yes ofcourse. Here is a pic of Mao Rajdhani itself.
Coach B4 of Mao raj. 2015 made...
But in my personal opinion, TVC Raj is far better than Mao raj, in terms of cleanliness and services.
Many Coaches of Mao Raj are 2015 marked, but are very dirty.

All the best.
I boarded it frm Vasai road to delhi NZM. and that day, it's loco failed after ratnagiri, so arrived vasai road ~5hrs delayed. So, that may be a factor.
But many of the window glasses were broken too. and as i said dirty toilets and doorways.
Let's see how will be your experience.

I read somewhere that MAO raj was alloted fresh LHB rake and TVC raj rake was old and thus After RSA, MAO raj got bad name due to old coaches of TVC.

can be so... As far as i have observed for all NR's newly LHBfied trains, Pune duranto, Mao Raj, BSP Raj are now running with mixed coaches and most of them not so good.
While TVC Raj, MAS Raj with mostly new n good coaches. Only 2-3 coaches are old.
And Lucknow AC Express*(former lucknow rajdhani) , got the new shinny LHB Rake and it continues to run with clean and new LHB coaches unlike other newly LHBfied trains of NR.
Ps.:other
...
more...
NR's trains are DBRT Raj, RNC Raj, Jammu Raj, SC Raj.
When I travelled in TVC raj, my coache A5 was 2010 made, very dirty and not so maintained coach, pests were there too. But other coaches were fine.

Day-3, breakfast s served after Kota: Upma and some sweet dish, bread-butter-jam, Tea/Coffee. Another veg option is Parathas.

If you are a vegan then order Jain Food as it is prepared in the panty car itself, and it is served hot and fresh.
Here is a pic of first Day dinner after departing TVC
