A Small Trip Report from Gulbarga to Lingampally:
Me n my wife have started early from home at around 6:30 AM in the morning, reached station at around 6:45 AM. When we arrived on Pf#1 saw KK express bound to NDLS was slowly moving towards SOLAPUR. After KK left from PF#1 heard announcement for YPR-SOLAPUR Superfast express on PF#1. YPR-SUR SF arrived on PF#1.
Announcement made for our train 17319 Hubli-SEC expres to arrive on PF#2. Took foot over bridge to cross the PF and arrived on PF#2.

train 17319 arrived bang on time at 7:10 AM, boarded the train our COACH was S3. Very neat clean coaches of 2001 made. Trains departed little late from GR and arrived on WADI at around 8 AM. The speed was very good. Bought some IDLI WADA's on WADI. Train departed at around 8:20 AM from WADI. It immediately took the Speed and was running in Full speed. I would say it was running at 100 KMH. Saw railway Hospital on WADI Station from far. Arrived at Chittapur on time and departed soon. Rushing towards Seram, did not halt at Malkhed Road. It was running in very good Speed. Stopped at Seram for five minutes and again rushed towards Tandur at a very high speed. at some time I thought Hussain Sagar would overtake us. But no it didn't overtake us. Arrived on Tandur on time and departed in no time and rushed towards VKBD. Arrived on VKBD on time and on Ligampally sharp on time.
This train has very good Speed and very good connectivity for people like us who wants to go Hyderbad from GR on MOnday Morning prior Hussain Sagar.
Arrived on Lingampally took MMTS ticket to Haffezpet and boared MMTS to Faluknama and got down at Hafeexpet.
Short trip ends.
there is another story hen we arrived on LIGMAPALLY which I will tell later.
by the train was running empty between GR and HYB. No TTE arrived.
End the short story.
Thanks for reading.
Thanks
