and would like to share my experience:
-No doubt about the cleanliness, coaches & washrooms were in a very good condition.
-Departed...
more... from fzr at right time, at bhatinda station almost all coaches got full
-When i woke up next morning, train arrived ndls with 2hrs delay.
-I had tomato soup in noon time and believe me it was delicious and on the other hand the lunch we ordered from pc was pathetic.
-Before Lalitpur, Samta Express overtook our train.
-At Lalitpur, Mangla overtook Punjab Mail with WAP1 loco.
-Arrived Bhopal at 8:30 around with 3hrs delay, there was a food outlet at the PF (i forgot the name) punjab mail arrived. Ordered the food and quickly boarded the train as the signal was turned yellow. Food quality was just ok, atleast it was far better than the food served by pantry guyz.
-I made a BPT ticket from fzr to pune with onward journey in
/blog/post/774490-In addition to that i made this ticket
/blog/post/747880in case punjab mail arrives kalyan at right time.
-Punjab Mail reached kalyan at 10:30 and luck was favoring me as koyna was about to arrive kalyan on the adjacing PF (almost 1hr delay). We quickly took our luggage and headed to the opposite side on the same PF.
-CC was jam packed, finally got our seats after inquiring seat nos. from tte
-What a scenic beauty between kalyan and pune, it was heaven.
-Finally arrived pune at 13:20
