No Alcohol No Drugs - the only addiction is Railfanning, to escape the negativity of the world. - Keshav Singh

Yo, I was on this train yesterday between BZA and MAS. Let me tell you a few things I observed:

1) Easy peasy lemon squeezy to get a ticket through current booking. Plenty of seats available.

2) Man, this train takes forever to get from BZA to MAS. Like, for real. HWH MAS Mail and this one arrived around the same time at BZA, but Mail left just 5 minutes before this one and still reached MAS 3 hours earlier. This train moves so damn slow, it's like crawling or something.

3) Dealing with unreserved passengers is a pain in the ass. The TTE ain't no help, man. You gotta fight your own battles. The TTE just tells those folks to leave and bounces. This TTE was so dedicated to his job, he even checked tickets for people who boarded at Ongole right before Ennore.

4) This weekly train is always packed to the max. So don't even think about using the toilets. Just forget about it.

5) Since it's a weekly train, nobody at BZA station had a clue which platform it would arrive on. I checked IRI and was waiting at #5, but the train showed up at #10. Like, seriously?

6) And get this, this train was being pulled by an offlink loco - WAP7 Ajni. I mean, come on. A WAP1 would have been enough for this snail-paced train.
