I travelled by Telangana exp From Hyd to Chandrapur on 4/6/19 & return by same train, same stations on 6/6/19 in 3 AC.
The train I would say is best. Cooling was very good even in scorching temperatures of around 47 degC. Pantry service was proper, although it starts about 45 min after departing SC. We took Veg cutlet, upma vada, Aloo bonda (vada). The Lunch from pantry was quite good in serving & taste for Rs.90/-. It was not spicy, but a tad less than medium spicy.
At Ballarshah station, we took...
more... samosa which was best. Poori bhaji not so ok at station.
Train maintained good speed throughout. The Up & down Telangana exp both cross each other at Chandrapur.
On board cleaning staff, cleans the coaches routinely.
