Recently ( on 11th March 2012) travelled in 16346 Netravati Express.. The train was neatly maintained. My coach was B2 with Seat number 55 which got confirmed at the last moment. Thanks to Admin Nazeer Ikka who informed me that my seat got confirmed in B2. With a less luggage for 3 days, I entered the B2 coach and found my berth. My next step was to find the TTE inorder to change my lower berth to some other. The TTE came as soon as the train left the station (TVC) and i informed that I am willing to exchange my berth. I had not to wait too long when the TTE informed me to switch my berth with a lady passenger who got in B4 away from her companion in B2. and to my luck it was in B4 Seat no 10 Middle berth. Order for Lunch was taken...

at Kollam Jn. There was wide variety and i had Non Veg comprising of Fried Chicken and Rice. The hot steaming food was brought as soon as the train left Ambalapuzha. The coach AC was doing a good job.. nice cooling and was feeling like sitting in a Fridge..
As soon as the food was delivered, the pantry person asked where all were getting down and since I was getting down at LTT, he told me that he will collect the money later. Variety of Items were moving up and down. Heard from my co passenger that the contracter who is running the pantry in 16346/45 has been given the contract since last 7 years. The contractor is from Calicut and this is one of the trains that is getting good profit from the pantry and awarded the best pantry in SR thrice.

My co passengers entered at TCR, SRR and CAN. From TCR, a Flutist by name Kilesh got in and from SRR 2 aged couple got in. Since the train was running before time, the train was held at SRR outer for 10 mins where we witnessed a great fight between the locals. One guy hurled a stone at the train and luckly it missed the train.
The train reached SRR 25 mins before time and so the train was held in platform for nearly 40 mins which made the train leave the station 10 mins late. This gave me enough time to explore the train from the back SLR to the Erode WDM 3D which

was hauling the train all the way. The order for dinner was taken at CLT and was distributed around 8 pm. the options for dinner were less when compared to that of Lunch.
The breakfast order was taken at 8:30 pm that the pantry people can prepare the breakfast as per needs and the pantry was closed at 9pm. My co passengers who got in from SRR were so good in Music and so we all had a nice music nights where the lady ( one of the pax from SRR) and the Flutist ( From TCR) the music night lasted for 30 mins and then we all decided to sleep. I made my middle berth ready and the ac seems little reduced and so was able to sleep nicely.
The sleep got disturbed when the train reached Madgaon where I alighted to refresh my memories which i had in Dec last month. The train halted at MAO on platform 1 where the people were working hard in the cold morning to alight the luggage at MAO from the Luggage Rack.
NZM Vasco Express was waiting at Platform No 3 for the arrival of Netravati Express. Had a light chat with the Gaurd of Netravati who said that the Vasco bound train will leave after the departure of Netravati and will wait if Netravati is Late by 20 mins and further delay will give clearance to vasco bound train first..
