The Up train gathers moderate crowd in UR coaches from HWH and the 2S coach seems alright. But the down train, especially during the peak season, overflows with UR and unauthorized passengers in reserved coaches. In my case, I nearly had a fight with the pax who were disagreeing to get up from their seat. TTE doesn't appear in heavily crowded reserved coaches until the crowd gets a bit low. Doesn't even care to check tickets of people who are standing inside a 2S with no valid tickets.
Food in this train is provided by local sellers, you will find ample options of snacks in both direction ranging from alu chop, samosa, jhalmuri, masala muri, boiled eggs, tea and coffee. Bananas and...
more... other fruits are also sold.
Maintains good speed and punctuality. Sometimes trails behind Black Diamond and catches it at BWN, but Black is given the foremost priority and Ganadevata halts at BWN for some more time.
