was already in PF6 with WAP7 attached and ready for its down journey when i reached the PF around 2PM. Exactly at 2.30PM, starter was given and with a long hornk, started moving from SBC. Soon ALP, saw an old man running to catch the train, and ALP was kind enough to stop the train to make sure that he don't miss the train, nor he tries to do something risky. Once he got into, green flag was waved hard and started moving in below avg pace to CANTT. This was when i went to my seat(WS).
As the train approached CANTT, i was very shocked to see the PFs don't have height, and seeing an old woman, i wondered, how will she get into the train. Soon i realised that, bhuddhu, you are in upper, that is why you are feeling like this. PF is of normal height. Laughed at my stupidity and the train started moving towards KJM, where 5 EMDS(2 twins and 1 single) and one WDM were taking rest, after journey or preparing for another journey..
After KJM, it moved in a good pace reaching JTJ 15min ahead of the schedule. It was long halt.
Train was full, but thankfully i had my friend in lower also, hence got opportunity to travel in Lower till MAS after exchanging seats. After Vilivakam, train was moved to EMU line, and joined back to main line before BBQ. reached MAS, bang on time...
Patronage: Train was full, may be becasue it is sunday.
Cleaniness and Mainatnce: Good. My coach was very clean and in good condition, but my friends coach had water leakage, and the walkway at door side was dirty becasue of it.
Catering: All the vada, bhajis served was very cold. Thankfully, from KPD, vendors from that station gave good vada.
Pics, will upload soon..

    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...
