🧾 Passenger Notes & Feedback
- Despite being a Duronto, the train often gets lower operational priority, especially at junctions like Sawai Madhopur or Ratlam. Travelers report occasional delays due to overtaking by freight traffic or scheduling slack built for recovery
- Community reviews highlight that these delays can affect reliability more than regular superfast trains on the route.
“Expect some delay occasionally… Durontos have large recovery time built-in.”
