RFIR~ 6831 blog postsTravelled in this train from HWH-YPR for the first time. Few observations.
• Train left bang on time from HWH. Immediately after 10 minutes came the bed roll attendant exchanging pleasantries, asking where I was going etc etc. Lot of sweet talk for obvious reasons which I came to know when the trip neared its end.
• There is no pantry car so it does become difficult if you want to buy something. One is at the mercy of vendors who charge more than the prescribed rates. A very small qty of tea & coffee...

Departed from HWH on 10-Oct, reached YPR on 11-Oct. There was a signalling failure near BBS. What was extremely surprising ws that lots of trains were held up between Cuttack & Khurda road and there was hardly any update from the Ecor on twitter/FB or anywhere else. Usually nowadays , I have seen if there are any disruptions, the respective division/zone does provide some update to keep passengers aware, but it was missing here
The train did go at a terrific speed between RU & KPD.......and reached in very quick time.
ECoR normally wont update any thing...Seems they have special treatment from board and rail ministry
Must admit though, ECor has lately got lots of train services etc as compared to what it was maybe a few years earlier.
Good number if trains seem to start from BBS to South ,East & North
