In this blog I Present My Entire Trip Report from HWH to Puri on 12.05.2015 by 12277 UP HWH Puri Shatabdi Exp with Pictures. In the 5th Reply of this blog(Re# 1473018-5) I have shared my entire Return Trip Report from Puri to HWH by 12278 DN Puri HWH Shatabdi Exp on 17.05.2015( Today) with Pictures.
******* Trip Report to Puri on 12.05.2015 by 12277UP HWH Puri Shatabdi Exp with Pictures ********
On 12.05.2015 the HWH bound Shatabdi Exp was late by 1hour 30 mins and it entered at PF 23 of HWH

with VSKP WAM-4 21350 in charge at about 15.15 pm. Accordingly it departed from HWH with VSKP WAM-4 in charge at 16.05pm.(1hour 40 mins late) and reached Puri at 00.15hrs(2hours 5 mins late) at PF 1A on 13.05.2015. My coach was C6. It was a very pathetic experience as because there is "NO WATER SUPPLY" in the Lavatories of the Coach. The Coach and the Vestibule was uncleaned. Foul smell emitting from the Lavatories. I had a chat with our Coach Attendant regarding these issues but he told me that if I am unsatisfied then please lodge complain to the TTE. But it was a pleasant Surprise that "NOT A SINGLE ON BOARD TTE AND CLEANING STAFF WERE FOUND IN OUR COACH OF THIS TRAIN FROM HWH TO PURI" on that very day. I enquired about the reason of using VSKP WAM-4 in place of SRC WAP-4 for this train but he told that he didn't know about the reason(Already on 11.05.15 this train entered Puri on 02.15AM due to breakdown of WAM-4 before Jajpur). But he agreed with me that HWH Puri route has RDSO Clearance for running WAP-7 with such Important Trains but neither ECOR nor SER pay heed to this matter. But the Food provided to us were GOOD. Lunch taken from Balasore was also GOOD and the behavior of the Staffs were GOOD these plus points were the "OASIS" in the DESERT of so many Negetivities of this Train on that Day.
However, please see the following attached images:

******** Trip Report from Puri to Howrah on 17.05.2015 by 12278 DN Puri Howrah Shatabdi Exp ********
The Train was departed from PF No: 5 of Puri today with SRC WAP-4 22839 in Charge. My Coach was C1 today.It departed from Puri at 6.00 AM sharp today. Maintained a "Good Speed" in the entire Route today. Crossing with Puri bound Kalinga Utkal Exp at Sakhigopal with a Neat and Clean TKD WAP-7. At DELANG meet with LHB King NDLS Puri Purushottam SF Exp with SRC WAP-4. Reached KGP at 11.35 AM. Halted 25 mins at KGP for Cleaning of Lavatories by the Platform Cleaning Staff at KGP. Apart from this today found ONBOARD CLEANING STAFF with this train. Also found TWO ONBOARD

TTEs in this Train one from Puri and the other Joined us from BBS. I had a chat with both the TTEs about the Speed and Loco issue of this Train but it seems to me that they dislike WAP-7 and to them WAP-4, WAM-4 are the Hero and Best Choice of IR, WAP-7 can't make any difference according to them and one of the TTE told me in a tone of argument "Do you think WAP-7 will take this Train at 400km/hr with a Screaming Face". I just kept myself MUM and avoided the topic in a Sensible manner. But the Coach attendant strongly supported me that ECOR and SER should use High HorsePower Locomotive WAP-7 otherwise they will suffer in Future.(The Attendant has a Long Experience in Rajdhanis of HWH,SDAH,BBS etc). He agreed with me at the point why WAP-7 is required for Shatabdi and Rajdhani. However today both the Lunch (Taken from Balasore) and breakfast(Taken from Puri) were GOOD.Our train finally reached at PF 23 of HWH at 13.35PM(10 Mins Early).
