Malgudi Express: From the pages of RK Narayan to the railway tracks of Mysore. - Vageesh

Trip made in this train on 10th April. Back in this train after 8 Years
It was my First Time entering Rewa with LHB Train on back of Electric Locomotive, but the whole trip went down the drain due to typical NR Maintainence.
2019 Made AC 2 Tier Coach (A1)
Door and Toilet Area filled with Mosquitoes, Toilets stinking entire way. OBHS knew how...
more...

to sleep and how to purchase tea in Stations.
Curtains are there but no bedrolls provided.
The whole Coach was vibrating up and down heavily during slow down or Speed up of train.
Jugaadu Taps all over the Coach.
It's ICF form was way better maintained than it's LHB form. I'm literally dreading going back in this train on 15th of April.
One thing to note here is heavy RPF presence.
Even with 130 MPS this train has heavy slack.
Reached 10 minutes before at Satna, Manikpur and 30 minutes before at Rewa.
I sincerely wish that this train gets transferred to WCR 🙏🏼. Give it an RSA with Rewanchal Express or extend it to Bikaner or Hisar if NR wants or Give it another rake to run an RSA train from Rewa with maintenance at Rewa but it needs to be taken from NR. NR Maintainence is truly pathetic.
