Some Pictures On Board Konark Express.
Traveled from Mumbai CSMT to Pune, for the first time in Sleeping Accommodation. Most previous travels were in Chair Car Accommodation only.
Average Maintenance, didn't clean common table properly, just on surface cleaning no deep cleaning, No Curtains or Bedding. AC Cooling was highly regulated after leaving Mumbai CSMT.
Lots of On Board hawkers selling Chikki, Headphones, Samosa,...
more...

etc.
AW was Old with less facilities, no charging points for Side Berths. A2 was new with Charging point for every seat.divyan
Lots of Railway Staffers getting inside AC 2 Tier Coaches to make Reels, Videos, Photos etc - trying to create impression of them traveling in AC 2 Tier Coaches among their Social Group. I couldn't hide my laughter after some point. 😂
Except a 8 Passengers. All in my Coach were traveling between Mumbai CSMT and Pune myself included of course. Average occupancy from Mumbai CSMT. Even Malda Town Summer Special had greater occupancy than this one from CSMT- maybe due to bookings from Pune. Pune had humongous crowd for this train. It was taken to PF#1 at Pune. Rarely seen for trains coming from CSMT Side.
Couldn't see the Locomotive as my coach was 2nd last and I had good amount of luggage, but it was a blue diesel Locomotive (Probably WDM). Back EOG was on.
