I am very curious to have a look at general coaches as they are Deen dayalu coaches. One thing I fail to understand is why this train is not getting good patronage. For journey on 23.09.2017 more than 100 berth is available. Where as in the other train i.e., Mysore Talaguppa it is RAC 101 for that day. Many Shivamogga bound passengers can travel in this train as berth will be confirmed and also this train reaches at 6 in the morning so that they can complete their sleep where as the other train reaches at 4.45 AM.

The fare is also not too...
