Booking directly was not possible from Europe, so 12Go really helped. But I didn’t know I was booking in another currency, so that was surprising. And then it took a week to confirm the tickets. I didn’t know if the booking had worked or not because I didn’t get anything. In the end, we had the tickets but the train ride was not fun. Bed bugs and mice under the bed in first class is not ok. And the AC made it freezing cold but we could not stop it.

Good train. Comfortable B carriages. It was running fast all the night. Then arrived 50 to Delhi, then stopped everywhere for long and produced 30 minut delay. The last 50 kms took 2;30...
