Unfortunately, the train was over an hour late reaching Samarkand and we were over an hour late reaching Tashkent. I still don’t know why there was such a delay, no explanation provided, which is really poor.
The train journey itself was fine, comfortable, and the staff friendly, but, the damage had already been done with the train being so late.

It was ok but the train seat button to recline was broken and I had to lie throughout from Tashkent to Samarkand

The train was excellent. I’m travelling with my daughter and we were allocated seats in separate carriages. I had a spare seat beside me, so my daughter could have travelled with me. Because of heavy luggage, it wasn’t possible to change one we realised. Otherwise, the experience was good.
An early start for prompt 06:10 departure. Everything smooth, on time and comfortable. Complimentary snacks and drink provided on board, as well as (independent?) paid for refreshments. Good to remember travel tickets are available logging in to 12go account rather than downloading from confirmation email at time of purchase

The trip from Tashkent from Samarkand was good. The train was on time, finding the platform at the station was clear and the ride was pretty comfortable, except of the lack of AC.
Some drivers could NOT find Hotel Deluxe and had to call hotel to get directions. Took extra time and confusion- especially as a tourist with language barrier.
Tashkent to Samarkand train(operator: Nasaf) was good, but the return trip from Samarkand to Tashkent train(operator: Sharq) was REALLY BAD. They should replace the seats of entire fleet. The seat condition of the return train(Sharq) was worse than trains in India.
