After a long expectations, the day(29/09/2012) came to experience the Toy train ride from MTP to UAM which didn’t disappointed us. Though our FC tickets didn’t get CNF,the 2S tickets got CNF for the same day and we were lucky enough to get accommodated in FS1,since 5 passengers in FS1 didnt joined on that day. 2 nd sitting arrangement in FS1 and D2 are almost same as the FC. But the seating arrangement in D2 is like same as govt.bus. There is no proper legroom.

satisfy them.Everyone was so busy in capturing the legend on their camera,than occupying their seats. A long whisle was given to alert the passengers to get in their respective seats.We also entered in to the coupe allotted to us in FS1.The guard and TTE locked all the doors from outside to avoid foot board travelling.The Station master gave the green signal and the train chugged out of the platform with the passenger’s loud long whistles!!!!!

We reached at Connoor by 10.15 am,15 mins late than Scheduled arrival. On the parrellel side, YDM4 was waiting with two more coaches to continue the journey till UAM. It was time for us to end our journey in UNESCO World Heritage train. There was a big queue at the PF to board from ONR to UAM .After saying thanks and bye to the TTE,guards and fellow passengers we came out of the station to have a drive to Fernhill by my car which was waiting outside.

Two more coaches are going to be added to train from MTP by next month. The TTE told me that the coaches are ready at ED and waiting for the permission.
