18189 Tatanagar Junction-Alleppey Express Train

what is written by Mr K Parmeswaram is true. Previously it used to run Tata Alleppy exp.; then they made the DHN part as the main & the original main train as link exp. train. can be easily speeded up by 4 hrs. .Previously it used to leave MAS at 10.30 PM and arrive TATA by 5.05 . Now rhey have increased the run timer by 4 hrs for whose benefit?

This trai is a link expressed. OIt gets attached to 13351 Dhanbad Alleppy at Ropurkela. Between Dhanbad & Alleppy it stops officially at 95 stations. Throughout Odisha & AP this train runs like a passenger train. It takes It takes about 56 hours for this train to reach Alleppy from Dhanbad. The quality of food served from Pantry is horrible. I would say that even cattle will not eat this food. Since the passengers are captive they have no alternative but to to for pantry food. I personally feel that this train needs some make up.
The coaches especially AC coaches, are horrible. No one bothers to clean the coaches throughout its run.
