17014/17013 Hyb Pune Exp should be extended upto LTT or Panvel. There is a gap of about 4 hours between 2 trains to mumbai from Pune with the result the Deccan Exp goes overcrowded everyday. People sit in the unreserved coaches in this train right from 2pm waiting for its dep at 1530.
HYB Pune exp reaches at 13.15 and can continue till LTT which will give good patronage especially if some of its coaches are allowed as day journey reserved seating ex pune.
It can start from HYB at same time...

Have anyone travelled in the new sleeper design coaches of this train the one which has sliding windows.
How are the coaches, sleepers and comfort.
How are the new sliding windows, do they offer bigger view. Does it have both glass and metal window pane.
Are the seats aligned to the windows and comfortable.

One of an incident when daily commuters rejecting train's new LHB coaches and want their old ICF rake back for their favorite train.. Very interesting :)

The passergers are correct. The issue is not of LHB or ICF, its the seating arrangement and the non alignment of windows with the seats.
The Karnavati exp also has similar coaches. Seats are good but while stepping out of the seats inconveniences the next seated passengers.
Window seat is a gamble, you may have a window but still the window will elude you as it will be in front or back or no window at all when its a seat between 2 windows. Again keeping it open or closed...

I had been to Dhanushkodi in March this year.
Writing this as I have come across queries about visiting Rameswaram and particularly Dhanushkodi, same questions I had before visiting.
Its easy to visit Dhanushkodi now by bus. Bus number 5 and 7 are available every half and hour 8 to 6 pm and it takes about 45 minutes to visit Dhanushkodi. The bus goes upto setu point. Food is not available there so better to carry water and other eatables.
Nice...
