This train operates with the standard second class sleeper coaches. Comfortable and spacious seats are turned in beds in the evening.
The lower berth is always more comfortable than the upper berth as it is quite a bit wider. It is also slightly more expensive.
If you want to travel in the 2nd class air-conditioned coach, make sure you bring along some warm clothes as they can get quite cold!
This service also has 2nd class air-con and non air-con seat carriages and for those who want to travel really cheaply, 3rd class fan cooled seat carriages.
