Track: Double Electric-Line

Yo, I went to Jog Falls on Aug 5, chillin' on this train from start to finish. Here's what I noticed: 1. Train was already parked at Platform 6 (PF6). 2. Vishwamanava was already standin' at Platform 3 (PF3). Vishwamana train was longer, had a D5 carriage, while my ride was short with only 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4. 3. First letdown was that the seat numbers in the CC coach didn't match the ones on IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that me and my wife could get window seats. Turns out, we got stuck with middle and aisle seats. Seems like the aisle seats are the ones with windows. 4. Occupancy was around 70% from MYS to SMET, but after that, it dropped to 10%. 5. At MYS PF#6, there was only one coffee vendor. 6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, the train only stopped for 30-45 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes. 7. No Railneer, only Bailey water bottles available for 15 rupees. The quality of the bottle was better than the slim railneer. 8. Small stations had churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available. 9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney for 50 rupees. No dosa though. 10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and left before it. The sleeper coaches weren't very crowded. 11. Kadur and Birur were deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows. 12. Lots of people were spread out on 3 seats in the CC coaches, snoozin' away. 13. The TTE got off at SMET, so anyone could travel in the CC coach after that. 14. The journey from SMET to TLGP was the best part. It's a single line with no electricity. You can spot peacocks flyin' on both sides, dense trees everywhere. Kinda like those pics from Nilambur Road in Kerala. 15. I found the seats in GS to be the best. If it's not too crowded, you can easily lie down completely. In D1-D4, people were knocked out, with only half their body supported by the seat. 16. You can't move from the CC or D coaches to the GS coaches 'cause there ain't no vestibules. 17. I liked the vibe in Sagara and Talguppa. Not too commercialized, felt peaceful with just one food stall sellin' biscuits. 18. I'll add more stuff later if I remember anything important.

This Mysuru to Chennai Central Vande Bharat Express train was dope AF! It zoomed at 100 km/h without stoppin', makin' the journey from Mysore to Bangalore hella rad! The ride was so smooth with no janky movements, even tested with a water bottle! The food was bomb, and the service was on point. This train speeds up real quick, gettin' us to Bangalore two minutes early. I totally suggest takin' this train and big thanks to Indian Railways for killin' it in South India, especially in Karnataka.

20608/Mysuru (MGR) Chennai Central Vande Bharat Express ne Mysore se Bangalore tak ek mast safar diya, bina kisi rukawat ke 100 kilometer per hour ki raftaar se chalte hue. Ride ki smoothness aur water bottle experiment ne confirm kiya ki koi side-to-side movement ya jerk nahi tha. Khana bahut achha tha aur service top-notch thi. Train jaldi speed up karti hai aur ham KSR Bengaluru City Junction (Bangalore) do minute pehle pahunch gaye. Main is train ko highly recommend karoonga aur Indian Railways ka shukriya karta hoon South India, khaaskar Karnataka state ke liye unki exception service ke liye.
