This is a narration of an unexpected journey in this train due to derailement of goods at manubol. On 26th morning I reached vijayawada from HYD to catch pinakini to reach MAS. When I reached station at 5am I came to know that Pinakini got cancelled so I was shocked as I need to reach by 4pm there is no alternate except bus but it is too tidious hence I planned to reach by Sanghamitra which is expected to reach by 7:30. I was roaming on the 1st platform what is the next...Then at 6am I saw a train entered on the platform with a WDM3A with LHB rake. I asked guard behind the loco whether it will touch MAS or not? He told not, again asked pantry people the same answer...then I checked charts on coaches where it PNBE to MAS and confirmed that it will touch MAS, I searched...
more... for TTE found 1 asked to go to MAS he denied no general ticket person board the same as it is a new introduction they don't have special instructions to take general passengers finally thought of going by Sanghamitra and went to counter they denied to give ticket as it is late I insisted for the same then they gave me general ticket upto MAS. When I was walking from loco to end one TTE found I asked him I need to go to MAS I had interview in the evening finally he asked me to sit in S1-7, I was too happy to board the premium train. When I went there where I found nearly 9 passengers boarded like me. I checked for max.permissible speed which is 130kmph. I was happy. Started by 7:15 and reached venkatachalam at 11am there stopped for 2hours and reached gudur at 1 and finally reached MAS at 3:30with an excellent speed. Train special superintendent took permission from higher officials as there is cancellation of Pinakini they were permitted nearly 30passengers only upto MAS. Good decision by them. Train is 75% occupied I don't why the officials did not arrange alternate when trains cancelled due to derailement. When there were seats available in the train why they don't permit to board this train. Almost all people entered in this train at BZA having important meetings and interview at MAS. I too having interview at MAS. Thnak you for reading.
