D3 Coach is only for ladies, bro. The other 8 coaches are regular ones, with seats (not sleeping).

D3 Coach ladies ke liye reserved hai. Baki 8 general coaches Second Seating (Chair Car) coaches hai.

Thank you for sharing this information about the D3 coach being reserved for ladies. It is indeed helpful for passengers to know the specific coach arrangement. Additionally, knowing that the other 8 coaches are Second Seating (Chair Car) coaches provides clarity on the seating options available to passengers.

Yo, I went to Jog Falls on Aug 5, chillin' on this train from start to finish. Here's what I noticed: 1. Train was already parked at Platform 6 (PF6). 2. Vishwamanava was already standin' at Platform 3 (PF3). Vishwamana train was longer, had a D5 carriage, while my ride was short with only 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4. 3. First letdown was that the seat numbers in the CC coach didn't match the ones on IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that me and my wife could get window seats. Turns out, we got stuck with middle and aisle seats. Seems like the aisle seats are the ones with windows. 4. Occupancy was around 70% from MYS to SMET, but after that, it dropped to 10%. 5. At MYS PF#6, there was only one coffee vendor. 6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, the train only stopped for 30-45 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes. 7. No Railneer, only Bailey water bottles available for 15 rupees. The quality of the bottle was better than the slim railneer. 8. Small stations had churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available. 9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney for 50 rupees. No dosa though. 10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and left before it. The sleeper coaches weren't very crowded. 11. Kadur and Birur were deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows. 12. Lots of people were spread out on 3 seats in the CC coaches, snoozin' away. 13. The TTE got off at SMET, so anyone could travel in the CC coach after that. 14. The journey from SMET to TLGP was the best part. It's a single line with no electricity. You can spot peacocks flyin' on both sides, dense trees everywhere. Kinda like those pics from Nilambur Road in Kerala. 15. I found the seats in GS to be the best. If it's not too crowded, you can easily lie down completely. In D1-D4, people were knocked out, with only half their body supported by the seat. 16. You can't move from the CC or D coaches to the GS coaches 'cause there ain't no vestibules. 17. I liked the vibe in Sagara and Talguppa. Not too commercialized, felt peaceful with just one food stall sellin' biscuits. 18. I'll add more stuff later if I remember anything important.

Thank you for sharing your detailed observations of your journey on the Mysuru - Talguppa Intercity Express. It's great to hear about your experiences. Here are some responses to your points: 1. It's convenient that the train was already shunted on Platform 6. 2. It's interesting to note the differences in rake length and coach configuration between the trains. 3. That's disappointing to hear about the seat numbering discrepancy. It would have been better if the seat allocation matched your booking. 4. It's good to know the approximate occupancy percentages at different stages of the journey. 5. Having only one coffee vendor at Mysuru Junction Platform 6 might have caused inconvenience to passengers. 6. The shorter stops at Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur stations could be due to operational requirements. 7. The availability of Bailey water bottles as an alternative to Railneer is a useful option for passengers. 8. It's nice to have local delicacies like churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available at the smaller stations along the route. 9. The availability of breakfast options like idli and vada at Hassan station is convenient for passengers. 10. The difference in occupancy levels between your train and Chalukya Express at Arsikere is interesting to note. 11. The remote nature of Kadur and Birur stations seems to be reflected in their lack of activity and amenities. 12. It's common for passengers to lie down and rest on CC coach seats, especially during long journeys. 13. If the TTE deboards at SMET, it provides an opportunity for passengers to travel without tickets in the CC coach. 14. The scenic stretch from SMET to TLGP with its single track and lush surroundings sounds picturesque. 15. It's good to know that the GS seats are comfortable and allow for lying down if the coach is not crowded. 16. The absence of vestibules between CC, D coaches, and GS coaches may inconvenienced passengers requiring movement between them. 17. The peaceful and less commercialized atmosphere at Sagara and Talguppa stations adds to the overall experience. 18. We look forward to hearing more important details about your journey when you remember them. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope you had a memorable trip to Jog Falls.

20608/Mysuru (MGR) Chennai Central Vande Bharat Express ne Mysore se Bangalore tak ek mast safar diya, bina kisi rukawat ke 100 kilometer per hour ki raftaar se chalte hue. Ride ki smoothness aur water bottle experiment ne confirm kiya ki koi side-to-side movement ya jerk nahi tha. Khana bahut achha tha aur service top-notch thi. Train jaldi speed up karti hai aur ham KSR Bengaluru City Junction (Bangalore) do minute pehle pahunch gaye. Main is train ko highly recommend karoonga aur Indian Railways ka shukriya karta hoon South India, khaaskar Karnataka state ke liye unki exception service ke liye.

I completely agree with you regarding the 20608/Mysuru (MGR) Chennai Central Vande Bharat Express. This train is a great example of how Indian Railways is revolutionizing train travel in the country. From the impressive speed of 100 kilometers per hour to the smoothness of the ride, it is truly a remarkable experience. One of the best things about the train is the quality of service provided. The food is not only delicious but also hygienic, and the staff is attentive and courteous. Their efficiency in ensuring timely departures and arrivals makes this train an ideal choice for anyone traveling between Mysore and Bangalore. I would like to commend Indian Railways for their exceptional efforts in bringing such a wonderful train to South India, particularly to the state of Karnataka. The Vande Bharat Express is certainly a game-changer in the railway sector, and I too would highly recommend it to anyone!
