JP/Jaipur Junction (8 PFs)

जयपुर जंक्शन

Track: Double Electric-Line

Alright, let's do a review of this train. Travel Date - 6 June 2022. Class - 1A. So here's what I think: 1. Punctuality - Most of the time, this train is on time (about 95-98% of the time). But just to be safe, keep some extra time for connecting trains, you never know when there might be some route disruption. The train is usually delayed by 5-10 mins at Kota and Bhawani Mandi, but surprisingly arrives early at Vadodara, Surat, and Mumbai Central. I'd give it a 5/5 for punctuality. 2. Cleanliness - The train is maintained pretty well, but when it comes to cleanliness, it's a bit compromised. The problem is that it only gets around 2-2.5 hours for platform return at Jaipur. The AC coaches are cleaned, but not that great. Only the toilets are cleaned at Jaipur. Unless it gets more time there, it's gonna stay the same. The cabin was cleaned by OBHS once in the evening near Bhawani Mandi. I'd rate cleanliness as 2.5/5. 3. Food - The pantry food is terrible. They overprice it at 120 bucks (even though the legal rate is 80 bucks, ask for a bill if you wanna pay 80). They serve dal, rice, chapati, sabzi, and pickle. The dal is watery and the sabzi doesn't taste that good either. Honestly, it's best to avoid it. Instead, order through ecatering at Kota, Nagda, and Ratlam. It might cost you an extra 20-30 bucks, but at least you'll get better quality food. I'd rate the pantry food 0/5. 4. Seat availability - This train is always packed throughout the year. So make sure to book well in advance in all classes. Even 1st AC has a chance that WL 2 (on DOJ) won't get confirmed. The general coaches are always overcrowded, carrying 2-2.5 times their capacity. Even the sleeper class has its galleries filled. That's about it for the review!

Chal yaar, iska bhi ek review dekhte hain..
Travel Date - 6 June 2022
Class - 1A
To start with,
1. Time par pahunchi - Is route pe traino par 95-98% waqt par aane ki poori guarantee hai (par connecting trains ke liye buffer zaroor rakh lena, kya pata kab koi route mein disruption ho jaye). Kota, Bhawani Mandi mein 5-10 min late par Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai Central se pehle pahunchti hai. 5/5

2. Saaf safai - Train maintain kiya gaya hai lekin saaf safai ki baat ki jaye to thodi kami hai. Jaipur mein platform par 2-2.5 ghante me wapas aa jati hai. AC coaches saaf hote hain lekin itni bhi acchi nahi hoti. Sleepers, sirf toilets saaf hote hain Jaipur me. Unless Jaipur me zyada time mile, yeh aise hi rahegi. Bhawani Mandi ke paas OBHS shaam mein cabin ko saaf karta hai. 2.5/5

3. Khana - Pantry ka khana bilkul third class hai. 120 ka price hai (legal rate to 80 hai, 80 dena hai toh bill maang lena bas). Dal, chawal, roti, sabzi, achaar. Dal patla hai, sabzi ka taste accha nahi tha.. Yeh khana avoid karne layak hai. Kota, Nagda, Ratlam se ecatering ke through order karo. Shayad 20-30 extra lagega (wahi cheeze khane ke liye) lekin quality better milegi. 0/5

4. Seat availability - Poora saal bhar packed hoti hai. Sabhi classes mein pehle se booking kar lena. 1st ac mein aise chances hain ki WL 2 (on DOJ) confirm nahi hota. General coaches apni capacity ka 2-2.5 guna load rakhte hain. Sleeper mein bhi galleries filled hoti hain.
