Had been to SBC y'day to see someone off. Udyan was on PF 5 and Mayiladuthurai Exp on PF 6. They left within 10 mins of each other. The state of the two trains was a sharp contrast - Mayiladuthurai Exp with neat and newly painted coaches, and Udyan with old and stinky coaches. My heart bled on seeing it. I had travelled so many times when it was still with SWR. Even the sleeper class used to be clean. Damn CR maintenance !!!
Even with 6 AC coaches, the train seemed filled to capacity. People were perilously oozing out of the unreserved coaches at either ends of the train. Is it really so difficult to add a couple of more coaches
...
more...
and make this train neat and presentable?
It was very sad to see my favorite train in a state of decay.

Even though Pantry is useful, I think this train will not get Pantry Car. About extension, I am sure this will be extended to MYS due to lack of parking space at SBC. Yes, this train is very slow but for many stations this is the only train connecting SBC and CST... It would be harsh on them if stops are deleted.
