once had the misfortune to take that train from bang to vizag. soon after it left bangalore it stopped at every station and then all local passengers got in. 7-8 people took each berth. we couldnt even move to the washroom. it continued till it reached guntakul..it reached somewhere in the morning and then almost 80% people got off and from then on it again became a daily passenger with all sorts of people. it was even put in a sideline to let two freight train pass (unbelievable). finally reached vizag in the evening. and then took the other famous legendary "can i take a overnight halt at this station" east coast to Hwh. needless to say we booked the tickets a day before and these two were the only ones that had tickets available (no wonder). and the journey took 52 hrs instead of the usual 33 hrs
