After the short trip to Odisha, it was time to go back. I was waiting for my train back to Howrah, which was 12278 Puri - Howrah Shatabdi. I took these two snaps at Pf No 3 of BLS.

And the last item, before I reached HWH. One delicious vanilla ice cream. :)
.
Some interesting facts which I observed this day -
(1) Although it is said not to give tips to IRCTC guys, these people were requesting the passengers for tips at the end part.
(2)
...
more...
The train got stuck at HWH outer for about 20 mins, and thus got delayed by about 15 mins behind its schedule. It entered finally at Pf No 20!!! (Quite unusual for Puri Shatabdi).
(3) As soon as I got down, I came to know the possible reason for this re-allocation of the platform. I could see a well decorated train standing at Pf No 22 for its inauguration, for which operation from 22 and 23 was closed. Later I realized, it is none other than SRC - MAS Antyodaya Express. :)

Have you travelled in E or in CC? As normally E used to provide bone china sets.
Of Course don't know specifically about this train.

I traveled in E1 (1st AC chair car). The only bone china set provided was for soup. The lunch was provided in the usual aluminium foil.

There are many more things, which they MUST do, but they don't follow. I am not that surprised. This is a regular stuff in IR now-a-days.
