The railings on the escalator entrance at PF5 are broken. And I wonder what is the purpose, if any, behind starting the escalator after a climb of five stairs without a ramp. Defeats the entire purpose.
Tea / Coffee, packed dinner was catered after train left SBC. There was someone from an authorised vendor as well who was accepting orders for dinner, and later supplied them. Chappathi Kurma, Idli vada and pulav were some names that I heard.

I rode this very rake earlier today morning from WFD to KPD. Was hoping to be in the other chair car which is in a much better condition than this one (C1). But alas, no such luck.
Loco is different from the one in the morning. Now is RPM WAP7 #30408, morning was #30393.
Slowed down a bit. Speed restrictions, perhaps?
getting dark outside. will not be able to post individual station positions... will be able to do for train stops only. sorry. thank you for your understanding.

Very fast piloting from Ambur... 2 minutes before time...
Following food items encountered: tea, coffee, hot badam milk, cold badam milk, medhu vadai, dosa, omelette, samosa, biscuits, wafers, chips and dosa.
Tried the medu vadai and coffee. the vadai (3 pcs, 30 bucks) were actually hot and quite delicious.
No picture available because i was hungry and ate immediately... without thinking... :)
seemed to run fast... not sure where was the time lost?
sorry, meant to click Kuppam.
my mouse goes crazy in the train... here at bangarpet at 20.04.

Unable to upload pictures from the mobile. :-( shall post when I get back home.
Bangalore to Tirupati express just blew through WFD. So we are already late to start.
Departure at 0858
At Malur. 09.14 am. The sun is out, lovely day. Train moving at good pace.
Following food and beverage items have so far been offered: water, cold drinks, tea, coffee, hot badam milk, cold badam milk, masala dosa, masala vada, medu vada, samosas, hot podi
Add the following to the previous list: bread omelette, onion vadai, cutlet, biscuits, chips and wafers.
Finally entered JTJ after spending eight minutes at theouter signal bbefore the station.
No biriyani from vaniyambadi on the train, alas!
Am sure that the train could run faster.
Stopped somewhere before KPD. Considering this is the only train in this direction at this time, such unplanned stops are not appreciated.
