I'll deboard at DHN/Dhanbad itself. It was REGRET upto DHN being an intermediate station. So booked till SPJ which has huge seats of quota. . came to know about journey at afternoon & booked ticket by evening. I need to be present there on Friday, 6 November 2015. Date & Time of Booking : Tuesday, 27-10-2015 at 19:54 [Booked 4 days in Advance from DOJ] Booking Status: RAC/6 RAC/6 (now moved to RAC 5) Booking : at PRS (psla) Arrival at DHN: 4:00 morning on Monday, 2nd Nov 2015 Arrival at SPJ: 12:10 SC-DHN details below:-- Travel Time: 30 hours (upto DHN) halts : 14 Avg Speed: 51 km/hr ----------------------------------------------------------------- SC-DHN: PQWL18/WL10 (2AC), REGRET/PQWL23 (3AC) (31-10-2015 ) SC-RNC/Ranchi: PQWL18/WL10 (2AC), REGRET/PQWL23 (3AC) (31-10-2015 ) SC-KIUL: regret / PQWL# 101 (in SL class), regret / PQWL# 26 (3AC), regret / PQWL# 12 (2AC) (01-11-2015 ) SC-SPJ: RAC6 / RAC 6 (2AC), GNWL# 19 / WL# 14 (3AC), GNWL# 94 / WL# 31 (SL class). Quite clear that it has full quota till SJP & DBG. . Fare wise: SC- DHN = Rs. 2360 (distance = 1541 kms) SC- SPJ = Rs. 2710 . So I paid the difference of Rs. 350 extra to get confirm seat in 2AC class. . 12390/Chennai Egmore - Gaya Weekly SF Express MS to Gaya Status: Tue-Nov 03 GNWL# 207 / WL# 96 GNWL# 47 / WL# 9 GNWL# 20 / RAC8 Warangal/BZA to GAYA shows: regret / RLWL# 26 (SL class), regret / RLWL# 11 (3AC), regret / RLWL# 6 (2AC). Very less quota as Regret can be seen at WL 26, WL 11 & WL 6. . SC-DHN: 17007/SC-DBG bi-weekly Express DHN-GAYA: 13305/Dhanbad-Gaya Intercity Express (UnReserved) these 2 trains makes Nice combination. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I booked this ticket from PRS counter. I knew it that quota is less till DHN but I asked to check availability upto DHN first. Then the counter person said that DHN has vess quota as this train runs empty after ROU & RNC/Ranchi resulting in loss to Railway, that's why quota is less upto RNC-DHN. So that people can book upto last nearby destination. I said that I am paying extra Rs. 350 although I have to get down at DHN itself. I also suggested to run new or Special train upto RNC/Gaya/Patna. Trains running via ALD NCR runs late by 5-10 hours, then the counter person laughed & said there is like that only. He also said that if any special trains for RNC/PNBE introduced then we'll come to know. It was so friendly to talk with him :) ----------------------------------------------------------------- I plan to log this trip thru my SmartPhone. All members are invited to follow me and enjoy this trip with me. Thanks.
