Coimbatore Express (11013) Train (Mumbai Lokmanya Tilak Terminus To Coimbatore Main Junction)

I started from Bangalore cantonment station. I booked lower birth for my comfort and laid once I entered into train. after 10 minutes of journey my co-seater notified me the cockroaches on my bag which I kept below my head. I shocked and waked up immediately and seen everywhere the cockroaches are roaming around the seat. i got scared and stood up till TTR visit. After 20minutes TTR came for checking and informed him the issue and requested AC coach or upper seat. Fortunately the upper seat was available and he assigned it to me. But he assigned my seat to one old person he slept with cockroaches. It made me to cry and more uncomfortable. Train journey is not new to me, I am traveling on weekends since 2012. But it \was worst experience in my life time.

i thought it is a train with convenient timing to travel to Tiruppur. It comes to bangalore city by 9:40 pm and reaches around 5:30 am at Tiruppur. But the train was late by 2 hours. It went on increasing and finally to arrive at Platform 2 at 1 am. i went to platform 2. There were no TVs announcing the time. There was no sign of the train even after 1 am. It was cold and surface winds were too rash. Luckily the wifi was fast. i could track the train which arrived at 1:40 am. So major part of my sleep is lost. i had to brush and have breakfast in the train itself instead of my plan at Tiruppur hotel.

We have booked 3A tickets before 7 days. Seats in good conditions. In the train food quality is very good. Food was very tasty and of good quality. The condition of Train AC is very good. Raichur station is very nice. we stop their 5 mins. All platform conditions are good.

I travelled from Mumbai to Salem by train, it takes nearly 30 hrs to reach salem. I travelled in 3 AC, the compartment was clean and good, the seats were also very good it was very cool. The toilet is very clean. I loved the journey from Mumbai to Salem by train.

Train took me around 24 hours Journey to reach Bangalore, Its very long journey. Recommended to travel from Mumbai to Bangalore via bus or private vehicle. The train is very clean though, the toilets are clean, food, water and refreshments are available in train. Overall average experience in train.

This train starts in the night at Mumbai. So, one can get into it after the usual chores are done and rest. It reaches Bangalore around 10 Pm. So, that too makes it convenient to travel home after the peak traffic hours and sleep peacefully. Having travelled in Sleeper, 3 AC and 2 AC, it offers what Indian Railways offers in every other express train. Nothing exceptional or outstanding. Pune's Vadapav, Lonavla's chikki, Dal vada of Dharmavaram are a must try. Food is decent, if you are unable to get from home before boarding the train. Since it contains pantry, there is continuous movement of refreshments and snacks prepared freshly. So, there wont be any dearth of food for foodies :) Bedding, toilets were decent. We cannot expect 5-star type in Indian Railways! So, it was what was expected.

We boarded the train at midnight. After a long slumber in the train, we spent the day time having a nice view of the surroundings while the train travelled through the Andhra /Karnataka stretch. We reached Bangalore at around 10 pm and had nice meals and again slept like a log. We reached Coimbatore early morning by 7 am.

The train was not bad but the people were too noisy. I suggest take a 2 tier AC or 1st class AC. We had taken a 3 tier AC and it was a nuisance especially if you have uncooperative travellers otherwise it was a clean train, so were the toilets but carry entertainment options like books and music since it’s a long journey as you can get bored.

Good experience by train. It’s a long journey but good to go with family or in group. You will have fun but food quality is poor. So take food with you or buy at junctions like Bangalore, Pune and others. Train timing is good and cleanliness is also good .You will get good sleep.

It was very nice journey where we had lots of fun. Me and my family wanted to travel in the train for long tours as we got bored of flights; so we got on to the train and thankfully we had some wonderful co-passengers. We made a few friends at the end of the journey. My kid had a good time and she was very happy.
