Band loco change ED WAP4..
Not band. Loco change happened at Chikbanavar baw
Good to see that its sleeper coach is almost full. A much needed train. Railways should introduce more trains from Shivamogga especially to North Karnataka.
Travelled many Times in all Classes. The only class that looks fully packed is 3a.
Overall SL occupancy is around 60-70% in that 40-50% is from Smet-Bdvt other are from band kjm. For 3a 2a max boardings are from Bangalore..
For most Sagara shimoga bhadravati people's the first preference remains the same 16227/8 and lalbagh

The plus point of 16227/8 is that it terminates and originates from TLGP which means a direct connectivity to SBC for travellers from Talaguppa, Sagar Jambagaru and Anandapura whereas to catch the other trains originating from SMET they have to come by bus to SMET and then continue the journey by train. That is the reason why Talaguppa train gets filled up first.
