For quite a few months, I have been toying with the idea of posting a list of the numbers of all IR trains that I have travelled in. Should easily be the longest for any member of IRI , given my age, encompassing all of 63 summers and , if that was not enough, the TRAVEL ITCH, I suffer from .
However, I was in a dilemna as to the modus operandi of the exercise . A mere list of the trains that have been subject to my footfalls , in numerical order of train numbers, will turn out to be as drab and monotonous, as a list of Sachin Tendulkar's 99 (or is it 100) centuries in international cricket .

have therefore decided to share my experiences of travel by each train in separate posts , in numerical order of the train numbers , with a short or long description of the journey for greater reading comfort. Hope you will all enjoy it and provide honest feedback from time to time.

slack time table so arrived 30 mts before at TPTY, GDR, Krishna Canal Junction(where Shunted by 2 SF trains-MAS-BZA Intercity, TPTY-SC-HWH Exp.)and became late by 20 min at BZA.
#Watering was casual in all coaches.our AC coach staff tried with little success.
#Curtains are standard fitments.Fitted with Jugaad Technology(a aluminium pipe saddled on two wood gutka).
#Has scope to enhance speed by removing some stoppage and by fine tuning time table.
#One Bed Roll for each berth.no separate bedroll for RAC.(fortunately a co-passenger offered his miner son Son berth to me as surprise gift)
#One passenger "discovered" a KHATMAL in Bed Sheet.
#Tea was worst with unknown "BOSS" brand Tea Bag.(some time Duncan too).
#Food was not very good(fortunately i had my home made stock) but other co-passengers were not unsatisfied(common with most of Pantry ).
No on Board House Keeping.So whole rack was stinky after 10hrs.
#Incects are permanent residents.
#Even AC performance was not good.
Lets see what happans in return journey.
