I traveled by this train on 23Jan15 from SC to KGP.
This train was inaugurated on Feb 2012 but looking at the condition of this train coach`s it seems this was the first of SCR its that old rake, I wonder where the new coaches are going to?? because same can been observed in other trains like 17007, 17005 etc.
Also this train maintained good speed till VSKP but after Palasa it started getting delayed and reached 2 hours late to KGP and I missed my connecting train 12021 to TATA.

more... think its high time introduce a new S/F daily train between HYB - HWH. I have created IMG12791/92 Hooghly S/F Exp but via alternate route to give direct connectivity to G, Durg, R, BSP, TATA from HYB. I request you all please flag this train.
