Very cloudy in my area-rain expected anytime

even i could not find fans in lhb 3a coaches of hwh ypr duronto...it seems ac lhb coaches do not have fans...

TO

LHB coaches already have big fan following so permanent fan removed.
Again stopped midway.

Standing before MSU

running late-yet to reach ajj-it should have been in kpd at 19:05

Just passed AJJ.
now expecting some good running .
Picking up now.

Soup,Bred stick,Amul Butter served.

generally AJJ-KPD will take only 32 mins if full clearance is given

So fast-what about KPD boarders

They deserve full Dinner Sir.

Not many passengers boards from KPD if chart is believed.
Still running slowly.

oh ok!! Probably rain related delay

Not raining now.
Possibly a train is running ahead.

JTJ:
Passing now, Slowly...

Amul Vanila Royal ice cream served.

almost making time!!

Crossing BWT now

60 kms left!!

The train has plenty of recovery time to recover traffic loss and runs continually so not a big matter if arrives BNC on time(+/- 10 min late).

Hmm-for 4.5 hrs journey they have allotted 5 hrs timings-so 30 mins to recover

Quite natural as the path is common for all types of services.
And any train has mandatory Engineering recovery and Traffic recovery time to recover delay if any.
Some time other important train running late on same section makes other RT running services late.

Yes-thats true!

Now running with good speed.

Lights of Bangalore visible now.

Oh!! IT sector crossed?

Passing IOC Depot.

making up for lost time!!

DKN passed:
A train having Two Elec loco shunted here to pass our train.
MYS-DN was written on train had pantry too.

Now the train is in BLR approaching WFD.

NN?? whats NN?
56213 probably-its crossed Devangonthi just now

It was SWR rake if iam correct.

Possibly this train was obstructing us.

Any way...
Now it's time to pack up and say GN to all.
ThanX a lot for joining me and making this trip a live n joyful experience.
ThanX again.
Take Care.

KJM:
Passing Now.

Finally:
Arrived at BNC dot at 22.17 and dep: 22.21 for SBC.
