I understand the the slack time plays a vital role here. But still it is interesting to read.

After arriving at Bargardh Road this after noon followings are my observation:
# Old and badly maintained Rack.
#my(and all 3AC/2AC) 3AC(B2) was Sep2001 Build Coach.missing Charging Points in all compartments.and many ware defunct.
#No Toilet cleaning at any station(VSKP and BZA are major maintainer points).

slack time table so arrived 30 mts before at TPTY, GDR, Krishna Canal Junction(where Shunted by 2 SF trains-MAS-BZA Intercity, TPTY-SC-HWH Exp.)and became late by 20 min at BZA.
#Watering was casual in all coaches.our AC coach staff tried with little success.
#Curtains are standard fitments.Fitted with Jugaad Technology(a aluminium pipe saddled on two wood gutka).
#Has scope to enhance speed by removing some stoppage and by fine tuning time table.
#One Bed Roll for each berth.no separate bedroll for RAC.(fortunately a co-passenger offered his miner son Son berth to me as surprise gift)
#One passenger "discovered" a KHATMAL in Bed Sheet.
#Tea was worst with unknown "BOSS" brand Tea Bag.(some time Duncan too).
#Food was not very good(fortunately i had my home made stock) but other co-passengers were not unsatisfied(common with most of Pantry ).
No on Board House Keeping.So whole rack was stinky after 10hrs.
#Incects are permanent residents.
#Even AC performance was not good.
Lets see what happans in return journey.
