1. Cleanliness -
Awesome cleanliness, I travelled on 3rd July on that the the pairing train was late more than 3 hours because of the waterlogging in mumbai and its suburbs, even though the was late the Secunderabad staff cleaned this quickly and it was as good as new. The coach is cleaned multiple times throughout the journey by the on board staff. Air freshener also sprayed at regular intervals. Washrooms also were cleaned many time and the floor was kept dry.

more... Punctuality -
It gets best priority in the entire route, always arrives on time at all the stations. Only natural calamity such as flood can delay this train nothing else.
3. Ticket Availability -
SC to ST, BRC, and ADI comes under PQWL so if you want confirm tickets and don't want to take a chance then book till Rajkot or else tickets till ADI usually gets confirmed as seats of Rajkot till Porbandar usually is empty.
4. Food -
Not many food options are available in this train, the pantry staff only sell food during lunch and dinner time and nothing in between, no snacks nothing. When I boarded it from secunderabad nothing was being sold till 7 in the evening. The only thing they sell is the standard Thali which is loaded from the station and Veg Biriyani which is prepared in the pantry and is the most pathetic thing served in this train the veg biriyani served is no doubt tasteless, but there was only 1% vegetable in this so called biriyani.
It had mostly beetroot in which which gave it the reddish colour and dal, seriously who adds dal in biriyani. Thanks god for this sachet of pickle that enhanced the taste of this tasteless food. So better carry your own food.
