I have traveled in this two weeks back from KPD to MYS. I disagree with the last statement. It does MYS-SBC in straight 2 hours and is RT end to end. In intermediate halts, maybe the train gets delayed but WAP7 recovers it. Regarding food, it is delicious. I took non-veg and it was better than that served by airlines(except Vistara). Runs empty between SBC-MYS compared to CC of Tippu.
