Didn't have a pleasant experience on this train last week for the following reasons:
1. My bogie S1 was extremely dirty with litter all around
2. Both wash basins were clogged
3. 1 toilet was unusably dirty and another had broken fittings
4.

Washbasins within toilets were dirty as well
5. Had to tweet to RailMin to get the compartment/train cleaned up - no OBHS in SL at least
6. Charging points were there in every cabin, but most plug points were not working
7. No timely food was served in the train
8. Once somebody in civil dress had come to take food orders for lunch, but it was delivered to passengers at 11.15AM and after that he wasn't seen again
9. One guy who came in the morning selling Cutlets for breakfast - the cutlets were AWESOME and priced at 40 Rs for 2 quite big cutlets and 2 buttered slices of bread
10. Take whatever is sold by vendors or buy from the stations itself
11. Punctuality and speed was superb

Can we reach LTT from Dadar by taxi within 1.5 hrs? (assuming we leave Dadar at 7 p.m., can we conveniently catch this train at 8.50 p.m.?) Kindly advise me about the scenario in the rainy season in particular, the roads and the water logging if applicable on the roads.

It may also help to get from Dadar to Wadala and take the Eastern Freeway which ends at Chedda Nagar (Chembur) and take a left at the signal to climb the Santacruz Chembur Link Road flyover which will directly drop you off at LTT.
In this route, rain or no rain any major traffic will only be encountered at the Chedda Nagar signal.

S11 in 16332 is a new bogie commissioned in 2013 and hence has bio-toilets that are quite clean.
Even the compartment itself is in a good shape currently.
Has good quality charging points in every cabin.
There was no issue with the water supply either for the entire journey.

Re# 1698532-1              
Hello Sir,
Previously waitlisted e-tickets that continued to be waitlisted during charting were automatically dropped.
Do the new rules imply that it will no longer happen now and I need to manually cancel my waitlisted ticket, or I lose my money?
Regards
Vinay

Hello All,
I am still getting extremely confused with referring to the monsoon timetables on IRI for Konkan Railway.
12133 seems to show the Monsoon TT, but clicking on the Show Old Time Table again takes it to last year's Monsoon TT.
12224 still shows the normal travelling time.

there something wrong I am doing, or is there an issue with the Monsoon TT not being updated for all applicable trains?
Please can you advise?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
