People have had long discussions on this topic regarding this train because SCR just neglected it in terms of maintenance. It's RSA partner also used to get neglected in the process. Discussions of transferring PM to SRC were also made but some people also did site trains like 18048 which till today have horrible maintenance. The train does travel through Orissa,AP and Karnataka so it does get dirty. I think this is a major issue for trains bound from HWH towards South. Onboard maintenance should be done otherwise people keep assuming that maintenance at origin is not upto mark. Many people in South have that idea of North originating trains like Sanghamitra, Raptisagar, Coro, Dhanbad etc that they are just not well maintained trains. Dhanbad ALLP just becomes horrible by the time it reaches AP. I wish Falcon maintenance was transferred to SER but there is too much skepticism of SER...
more... with maintenance right now. I don't think SCR will accept as well. Also since it has RSA with a train bound to AP i.e Simhapuri SF, maintenance cannot be compromised. Granted there are shortcomings but folks here won't accept if trains runs ill maintained.
please wait...Translate to EnglishPeople been talking a lot bout this train 'cause SCR be totally ignoring it when it comes to keepin' it in check. Even its RSA buddy be sufferin' same fate. They said thinkin' bout movin' PM to SRC but some folks still see trashy trains like 18048 runnin'. This train goes through Orissa, AP and Karnataka, so it's bound to get dirty. Big issue for trains headin' South from HWH. Gotta do maintenance onboard, or else folks gonna keep thinkin' the maintenance at startin' point ain't up to scratch. Lots of Southern folks think North runnin' trains like Sanghamitra, Raptisagar, Coro, Dhanbad are poorly maintained. Dhanbad ALLP turns into a mess by the time it hits AP. Wished Falcon maintenance was under SER, but folks ain't trustin' SER with maintenance currently. Doubt SCR gonna agree either. And with an RSA with Simhapuri SF bound for AP, maintenance can't be slackin'. Yeah, there are issues, but people here ain't gonna stand for no poorly maintained trains.
