Bangalore Hubli Passenger (56515) Train (Bangalore City Junction to Hubli Junction)

We travelled with a group of 6 persons through sleeper class, the compartment was maintained neatly however the toilets were not up-to the mark. The departure and arrival timings was accurate. This train is very suitable to travel because it leaves at 9.30 Pm and reached at 5.30am next day to Hubli and would be very comfortable to sleep at night to save the time instead of taking a day time journey.

This train started from Yeshwanthpur (Bangalore) at 19:30 hrs sharply. The starting time of the train is very convenient but reaching hubli at 03:30 am is little uncomfortable. But one advantage is get some two hours sleep in the hotel before starting the days work. I travelled in 2 AC and the bogy is quiet clean. One disadvantage is pantry is not available.

Another good point to mention is newly started telephone booking by railways. The day I travelled, in the afternoon I called 139 helpline numbers and luckily seat was available and called, through IVR system ticket has been booked. This is the new thing that happened.

This train travel is a nonstop hassle free travel. The train is too good and fast. We were in two tiers AC which was very comfortable. As usual there were problem in booking the train tatkal tickets but somehow managed to get it. Food was available as well as pillows and blankets were provided.

Planning travel to Hubli?? Consider traveling on Rani Chennamma express. I have traveled in 3 tier AC and I must admit the experience was really good. The train is well maintained and I rate the travel experience as very good. I always prefer this train because to its timings, it is always on time!

The train was on time as it came on time and also departed on time. Trains are comfortable than bus. I travelled in 2 tier AC and seats are in good condition. Journey was at night so you cant watch any scenery. Toilets are clean but not 100% and beds are also clean and hygienic. I always prefer to travel by train to Hubli.
