Madgaon end. Finally people started walking on Platforms thinking that its Mandovi Express. But sadly it was 04013/Vasco Da Gama - New Delhi AC SF Winter Special. Was shocked to see it. The day was Monday but this train doesn't passes Kankavli on Monday. It was hauled with WDG 3a #13255 of GTL which was seen by me at Dadar in 11003 Mumbai-Kankavli trip. It passed at Moderate speed and finally Announcement made of 10104. We moved towards our coach position. Finally the 'Hunk' WDP-4B #40015 with The 'King' Mandovi Express arrived Kankavli at 12:32. Lot of rush for this train. Quickly Entered and Quickly the train departed at 12:33. Was Blasting at high speed and finally we had putted on the loop line for the crossing of 12051 - Mumbai Madgaon Jan Shatabdi Exp. It crossed us and we departed. Arrived Vaibhavwadi at 12:51 and departed at 12:53. Was flying between Rajapur and Nivsar with taking stops as in TT we finally arrived Ratnagiri.
