🔍 Traveler Notes & Feedback

  • Budget-friendly and well-managed, but Sleeper class is basic—not ideal for elderly travelers or those expecting comfort.

  • Frequent issue highlighted: Special trains tend to run late, often by several hours, leading to discomfort and unpredictability.

    “Special trains are meant to be last resort… very low on priority list.”
    turn0reddit25

  • Onboard space can feel cramped, and food/catering delivery sometimes delays reach the train.

    “There is no pantry so the food… god knows when it’ll get delivered.”
