TRIP REPORT:
My three day rail rendezvous started with my departure from Hosur in a bus at 08:30, which brought me to town hall in 80 mins thereby starting the tradition of facing the unexpected which continued till half an hour back with me missing the VLKN-NGT pass, currently in galaxy internet center typing the trip report before i forget.
A background to the report is that i wanted to take a break at any cost from my work and spend some time with myself, sharing the first part of...
more... my journey, here goes..
Reached Majestic at 10:15 and calmly walked to SBC, stood for a while admiring the electric illuminated tree before the station and made way to Hare Krishna for a snack(s), SBC and Hare Krishna go very well. started walking to the FOB, comesum seemed to be calling, had a snack(s) and finally reached PF-1. Ernakulam intercity on PF-2 with the board on CC written ERNAKULAM-BANGALURU(nandilnath livery), , KJM WDM-2 17603 and WDG-3A 13053 idling on PF-2 before intercity and ED 11239 and 16480 WDM-3D's waiting in pit line beside PF-1, No idea on where LTT-CBE was, probably somewhere near Wadi that day. Empty sangamitra out, bangarpet express In. Guwhati Exp on PF-4 with 6 AC coaches having Royapuram WAP-4 22838 on the helm. Sleeper on end for Night queen pass with 12 SL empty and rest all SBC-MYS.
Kaveri came in with 40054 WDP-4B and left with LGD WAP-4 22516 at 1203, my seat was S-8, 8 SU, #7 guy supposed to join in WFD. experienced a slight pull after my coach passed 355/3 mark increasing my optimism about an amazingly fast journey, didnt really do a great speed till BNC, I felt DPJ pass does better. Didnt get any better till East and was good, Quite good speed till WFD, dozed off and found myself at Basin Bridge at 07:30 in the morning..
left the station only to come back the same night to meet our dear admin pramodh**.. The rake of this train is not completely SR and has a mi9xed composition of SR and SWR.
