Had a Personal Journey on 8th February 2024 till Bhopal.
Yeh South ki train hai, isme emergency ke liye Hathoda 🔨 rehta hai 😂.
Thursday Night in Kerala Express till Bhopal. Booked in this because I was getting Side Upper in Shaan E Bhopal Express despite 7 seats available in 2A at the time of booking.
Major Passengers boarding till Bhopal, good Boarding from...
more... Agra and Mathura for Bhopal.
My Coach A2 was almost filled with passengers traveling to Bhopal or Passengers Boarding From Bhopal.
Despite having 2022 Coaches, Maintenance was basic minimum required for survival. Not comfortable enough to travel to Trivandrum. Which was visible in Bookings in 2A, barely 7-8 Passengers traveling to Kerala in both Coaches from New Delhi, 3 of them Traveling till Trivandrum. All other major booking from Bhopal and Agra.
Got regulated heavily for more than 20 minutes before reaching Mathura and Bina Junction. Doesn't have much priority to speak of. Despite departing Bina Junction at 05:15 AM, reached Bhopal Junction Outer at 06:20 AM- Total Non Stop Run. Closely followed by Karnataka Express.
Pantry Car is virtually Non Existent. All the Vendors were serving was Chicken/Egg/Veg Biryani, water guy barely came once or twice. I had purchased everything from New Delhi only before boarding.
please wait...Translate to EnglishI had this personal trip on 8th February 2024 to Bhopal. This train is from the south, and they have a hammer 🔨 for emergencies, haha. I took the Kerala Express on a Thursday night to Bhopal. I chose this train because I was able to get a side upper berth in the Shaan E Bhopal Express, even though there were 7 available seats in 2A at the time of booking. Many passengers boarded the train until Bhopal, especially from Agra and Mathura. My coach, A2, was almost full with people going to Bhopal or boarding from there. The maintenance of the train was just enough for basic survival, nothing too comfortable to travel all the way to Trivandrum. This was evident in the bookings for 2A, where there were barely 7-8 passengers traveling to Kerala in both coaches from New Delhi, with only 3 of them going till Trivandrum. Most of the bookings were from Bhopal and Agra. We had to wait for more than 20 minutes before reaching Mathura and Bina Junction. Clearly, this train doesn't have much priority. Despite leaving Bina Junction at 05:15 AM, we reached Bhopal Junction Outer at 06:20 AM without any stops. Karnataka Express was closely following us. The pantry car was practically non-existent. The vendors only served chicken/egg/vegetable biryani, and the water guy hardly came by. Luckily, I had bought everything from New Delhi before boarding.
