tedybeas 76 blog postsI travelled in this train from JIND to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt just next day to new year i.e. on 2nd January 2024. I set out for station @16:55. When I reached the station I took unreserved ticket which costed me ₹110(don't know/didn't bothered to check reserved classes cost as it was a sudden plan). As I entered the station I saw a good crowd waiting for 20410/Bathinda-Delhi SF on PF#1. As I was in a hurry I just rushed towards paidal pull as there was freight standing on PF#2.

This train 's scheduled...

arrival/departure at JIND/Jind Jn was @12:27/12:29. On that day it was late and it arrived/departed @17:25/17:30 which means it was delayed by more than 5 hours when it departed JIND.
When I had checked the time-table of this train earlier(here on IRI) I saw it had Remote Location Quota at JIND by which I was kind of surprised. My doubts were cleared when I reached PF#4 where this train was supposed to arrive and saw a huge crowd waiting for this train even when train had a massive delay of around 5 hours.
Some people were even there from around 11:00 which sadly mean they were sitting on the station itself for around 6 hours(Note: We underestimate NTES because we have habit of checking it before setting out for station from home but not all people do). I talked to some people and they told they came from their village which was around 30 km from the station so I was kind of surprised that they didn't checked NTES but I chose to keep shut because I was not thinking of doing "Jale pe namak chhidakna" by asking them why.
I wanted to get down at PGW/Phagwara Jn itself but sadly this train skipped it at mps and hence I couldn't. I had to travel all the way up to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt which this train reached @22:30 and then come back by bus. It was not a problem because bus stand is just outside where buses stop to go back towards PGW.
I was disappointed by the thing that I boarded a Himachal RTC(bus ticket cost ₹30/₹40 don't remember exactly) and I was overtaken by a Haryana Roadways bus of Sonipat Depot😂 as I chose not to wait for next bus as it was already around 22:45.
Conclusion:
1. If a train doesn't stop at PGW/Phagwara Jn then get down at JRC/Jalandhar Cantt and come back by bus.
2. Always wait for Haryana Roadways only😂😂 if travelling in day time.
3. This route needs more LDH-ASR/JAT trains as there is Remote Location Quota first at DSJ/Delhi Safdarjung and then just 2 hours(1 hr 56 min to be precise) after that at JIND.

Yo, I hopped on this train from JIND to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt the day after New Year's on January 2, 2024. I headed to the station at around 16:55. When I got there, I got myself an unreserved ticket for ₹110 (didn't bother to check the cost of reserved classes since it was a spontaneous plan). As I walked into the station, I spotted a bunch of people waiting for the 20410/Bathinda-Delhi SF on PF#1. Since I was in a hurry, I darted towards the pedestrian bridge 'cause there was a freight train on PF#2.
The scheduled arrival/departure of this train at JIND/Jind Jn was supposed to be at 12:27/12:29. But on that day, it was running late and arrived/departed at 17:25/17:30, which means it was delayed by over 5 hours when it left JIND.
Before this, when I checked the time-table of this train (here on IRI), I noticed that it had a Remote Location Quota at JIND, which surprised me. My doubts were cleared when I reached PF#4, where the train was supposed to arrive, and saw a massive crowd waiting for it, even with the huge delay of around 5 hours.
Some people had been there since around 11:00, which sadly meant they had been chilling at the station for about 6 hours (Note: We don't trust NTES 'cause we usually check it before leaving home, but not everyone does). I chatted with a few peeps, and they told me they came from their village, which was about 30 km away from the station. So, it surprised me that they didn't check NTES. But I decided to keep my mouth shut 'cause I wasn't in the mood to start trouble by questioning them.
I actually wanted to get off at PGW/Phagwara Jn itself, but this train skipped it at full speed, so I couldn't. I had to travel all the way to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt, where the train finally arrived at 22:30, and then catch a bus back. It wasn't a big deal 'cause the bus stand is right there, where the buses stop to head back towards PGW.
I was a bit disappointed because I hopped onto a Himachal RTC bus (can't remember if the ticket cost ₹30 or ₹40), and I ended up getting overtaken by a Haryana Roadways bus from the Sonipat Depot 😂. I didn't wanna wait for the next bus 'cause it was already around 22:45.
Conclusion:
1. If the train doesn't stop at PGW/Phagwara Jn, get off at JRC/Jalandhar Cantt and come back by bus.
2. Always go for Haryana Roadways 😂😂 if you're traveling during the day.
3. This route needs more LDH-ASR/JAT trains 'cause there's a Remote Location Quota first at DSJ/Delhi Safdarjung and then just 2 hours (1 hr 56 min to be precise) later at JIND.

Maine is train mein safar kiya JIND se JRC/Jalandhar Cantt tak, naye saal ke dusre din yaani 2 January 2024. Station ke liye main @16:55 par nikla. Jab main station pahucha, maine bina reserved ticket kiye khareeda jo mujhe ₹110 ka pada (reserved classes ke daam jaanne ka time nahi tha kyunki ye ek achanak ka plan tha). Jab main station mein enter kiya, maine dekha ki 20410/Bathinda-Delhi SF train ke liye PF#1 par ek accha crowd tha. Main jaldi mein tha, isliye main sidhe paidal pul ki taraf bhaga kyunki PF#2 par ek freight train khadi thi.
Is train ka samay yahan JIND/Jind Jn par aane/utarne ka 12:27/12:29 baje tha. Us din train der se aayi/utri, yani 17:25/17:30 baje, iska matlab ye tha ki JIND se jaane ke time par wo 5 ghante se jyada der se chali gayi thi.
Jab maine pehle is train ka time-table dekha tha (IRI par), mujhe yahan JIND par Remote Location Quota hai ye thoda ajeeb laga. Mere shankas door hue jab main PF#4 par pahucha, jahan yeh train aani thi, aur maine dekha ek badi bheed wahan ye train ka intezaar kar rahi hai, jabki train bahut der se thi, karib 5 ghante se late.
Kuch log wahan 11:00 baje se bhi the, yeh dukhad baat hai kyunki matlab unhone station par 6 ghanto tak baithe rahe the (Note: Ham NTES ko kam samjhte hai kyunki hum ghar se station ki taraf nikalne se pehle usko check kar lete hai, lekin sab log aisa nahi karte). Maine kuch logon se baat ki aur unhone bataya ki woh apne gaon se aaye the jo station se karib 30 km door tha, isliye mujhe thoda ajeeb laga ki unhone NTES nahi check kiya, lekin maine chup rehne ka faisla kiya kyunki mujhe unse ye puchhna mann nahi tha ki "Jale pe namak chhidakna".
Mujhe toh PGW/Phagwara Jn par hi utar jaana tha, lekin afsos ki ye train ne use mps par chhod diya aur main nahi utar saka. Mujhe poori raat JRC/Jalandhar Cantt tak jaana pada, jahan ye train 22:30 baje pahunchi, fir mujhe bus se wapas aana pada. Koi problem nahi thi kyunki bus stand bas wahi bahar tha jahan bus wapis jaane ke liye rukti hai PGW ki taraf.
Mujhe dukh hua ki maine ek Himachal RTC bus mein sawar hokar chadh gaya tha (bus ka ticket ₹30/₹40 tha, sahi yaad nahi), aur mujhe ek Haryana Roadways bus (Sonipat Depot ki) ne piche chhod diya😂 kyunki main agli bus ka intezaar karne ka faisla nahi liya tha kyunki karib 22:45 baje tha.
Nateeza:
1. Agar train PGW/Phagwara Jn par rukti nahi hai, to JRC/Jalandhar Cantt par utar jao aur bus se wapas aao.
2. Hamesha din mein safar karne ke liye Haryana Roadways ki bus ka intezaar karo😂😂.
3. Is route par LDH-ASR/JAT trains ki zaroorat hai kyunki pehle DSJ/Delhi Safdarjung par Remote Location Quota hai aur bas 2 ghante (aur bilkul sahi tareekh bataye toh 1 ghante 56 minute) ke baad wahan JIND mein hai.
