Why the heck they have a stop at Bilaspur Road? It's totally pointless and dumb. People can just get off at Rudrapur City instead. Plus, the platforms at Bilaspur Road are not even maintained well. I have no idea why the railway decides to have stops at such crappy places for trains like this.

Goin' on an official trip to Rudrapur right after comin' back from Mumbai. Check out the link for more info: https://indiarailinfo.com/blog/post/5824286 Date of journey: September 4th, 2023. Departin' from Platform# 2. The train's maintenance is typical Northern Railway style - the coaches look old, but they're in good shape. Funny thing though, some coaches don't even have the "Kathgodam" sign 😂 There were about 20 empty seats, and luckily the seat next to me was empty too, so I had the luxury of two seats 🥳 Breakfast was nothin' special, just the usual stuff. I tried everythin', but the greedy catering guy didn't get a tip from me. The train had good priority on the way. We reached Moradabad Outer 37 minutes ahead of schedule and had a nice 15-minute stop there. Saw the Danapur Anand Vihar Terminal Jan Sadharan Express waitin' outside, waitin' for the Ala Hazrat Express to clear the platform. This train also has a 15-minute stop at Rudrapur City, waitin' for the Uttaranchal Sampark Kranti to pass. Didn't bother takin' any pictures of this train, 'cause the coaches were in a sad state and smelled awful.

Official Trip ke liye Rudrapur me aane ke baad agle din hi /blog/post/5824286

Platform# 2 se nikalta hai. Typical NR Premium Train Maintenance, Coaches old look old hai but flaw wahaan koi nahi milega. Beech me kuchh Coaches hai jinpe "Kathgodam" Board nahi hai 😂
Lagbhag 20 seats khali thi, luckily mere paas wali seat bhi khali thi, isliye do seat ka benefit liya 🥳
Typical garam breakfast, kuchh special nahi tha. Jaise hi karate hai, sab try kiya, Catering Guy bahut lakho ko lalach kar raha tha isliye maine usse tip nahi di.
Good Priority ke saath, Moradabad Outer pe 37 minute pahle pahunch gayi, wahaan 15 minute ki halt thi. Danapur Anand Vihar Terminal Jan Sadharan Express ka video banaane ki koshish ki, jo Outer pe wait kar rahi thi, Ala Hazrat Express ko platform aazaad karne ke liye.
Is train ka Rudrapur City pe bhi 15 minute ki halt thi, tab Uttaranchal Sampark Kranti cross karne ki wait kar rahi thi. Uske coaches ki picture nahi li kyunki woh bahut hi bekar the aur bahut gandhe bhi the.
