Alright, so here's the deal - got back from MAO on train 12218 CDG KCVL KSK. It was hella late, like an hour plus! I was so ticked off at the controllers, man. Everyone's trains were announced except ours. I was chilling at PF 1, then bam - they said the Konkan Kanya would roll in there. What a mess! MAO MAQ VB was at PF 2, and Mangala showed up at 3. Still no sign of my train. After VB left, I thought maybe it's coming to 2, but nah - 22653 TVC NZM SF was supposed to show up. The announcements were terrible and I was going nuts. Finally, I just guessed 3, and yup, there it was at 3. Departed from MAO with a hardcore jolt, and that rocking motion stayed all journey long. Plus, there was a flat wheel driving me even more crazy. Managed to catch some Z's and made it to ERS around 8:30 this morning. Probably the rubber thingies on the coupler setup were shot. That might've messed up things in my coach. Oh, and here are some pics: 1. Sunrise @ Bharatapuzha river, 2. OG cab UBL WDG #12219 and WDG 4D #70506 rolling in with a BOXN rake.

I keep an eye on the train status of many trains. I noticed something about Kerala Sampark Kranti Express from Chandigarh to Kochuveli. I saw that there are usually empty seats in 3 AC & 2 AC classes till Panvel or Vasai Road stations. I always check the status of this train and found seats available till Mumbai (Panvel or Vasai Road). This is in RLWL NDLS charting quota.

Main dhire-dhire kai trains ki charting status ko monitor karta hoon

Ek cheez maine dekha hai ki Kerala Sampark Kranti Express
Chandigarh - Kochuveli mein 3 AC aur 2 AC ke seats asani se available hote hain Panvel ya Vasai Road stations tak regularly main is train ki charting status check karta hoon har baar Mumbai (Panvel ya Vasai Road) tak seats available hoti hain is train mein
