MAS almost all coaches had vacant berths approx- 25 - 30, good chance for all people with open ticket.
Reached MAS at 14.55 hrs & oh good! mad rush for entering coaches & within 15 minutes all coaches were 90% full!
Started from MAS at 15.45 hrs with rake reversal, next stop was at gudur reached 10 minutes late, from MAS to GGUDUR lots of people in reserved coaches with normal ticket, saw TTE helpless couldnt do anything!
Reached BZA at 22.30 hrors & got down, took auto to my home!
overall sangamitra is not much crowded till MAS, so no booking required as berth is assured as this train as max quota in MAS & BZA!
