Hi, folks hope you all are doing fine...
Here is an trip report of which DOJ : 01-11-2012 (Thu) From : LTT To : HWH in S-9 (22 UB & 24 SU)...
I reached LOKMANYA TILAK TERMINUS (LTT) at 11:50 Hrs at platform no : 01 (which is newly constructed platform, earlier it was platform no : 05), At platform no : 02 was standing, 13201 RJBP KURLA EXPRESS which arrived some times before, Our train departed at 12:40 Hrs (at the time of Kamayani Express leaving) And from platform no : 03
...

LTT VSKP SUP EXPRESS departed at same time, it took CSTM-KYN 03rd line And we took newly laid 05th line, it overtook us near Nahur, we halted at Thane (TNA) for about 07 mins then next halt was at Kalyan (KYN) for 10 mins, All people at station we asking Kya yeh Kamayani Express hai...? (As we were going at it's time slot...) we was about to leave Kamayani Express arrived at KYN, we was cruising at 80 KMPH till Khardi, there we halted at loop line & KAMAYANI EXPRESS overtook us, then we were to go at Kasara (KSRA) 2 banker were attached And we were made to took 1st line to Igatpuri (IGP), reached Igatpuri 5 mins late, Kamayani was already attached with an WAP-4 ET, it left IGP... We were given an offlink blue WAG-7 ED & we proceeded at 15:55 Hrs... It was smooth journey ahead... Spotted LJN CSTM PUSHPAK EXPRESS with an WAP-4 BSL after Ghoti... After which I slept till Manmad (MMR)... It was alrwady dark at 18:25 Hrs... Later after Chalisgaon CSTM JBP GARIB RATH SPECIAL overtook us, it was hauled by an WDG-3A, again near Pachora ERS NZM MANGALA EXPRESS overtook us... it was hauled by WAM-4 BSL... reached Bhusaval (BSL) at around 20:50 Hrs... Halted for almost 20 mins, here after I slept to woke up after Jabalpur (JBP) Jabalpur passed at 07:25 Hrs...
Next was Katni (KTE) it was all cloudy atmosphere, cool breezes, greenery all around and chugging sound of WDG-3A all things were mesmerizing... Arrived Satna (STA) 10 mins before, Manikpur too arrived 20 mins before, at Manikpur spotted HWH INDB KSHIPRA EXP, Kshipra came and left too, still we were standing... What at tragic time-table they've made for this SPECIAL... Such a huge amount of slack time... In S-9 most of passengers were to travel till HWH, they were asking in Bengali... (Train kotar somaye pohuchabe...?) To which I replied...(Kotar mane...? Train kal sokal 8'tar pore pohuchabe...) All were dissappointed...! Most of passengers thought this train was 08059 or 08069 LTT HWH SPL VIA NAGPUR... I was laughing in my heart... God knows what 'll' hapeen to them, these people don't even bother to see their tickets, as they bought tickests from Agents...
Chheoki (COI) came at right time, but proceeded after halting nearly 50 mins, here spotted DLI HWH JANTA EXPRESS hauled by an WAG-5HA ASN after that spotted PNBE NDLS MAGADH EXP with an WAP-4 CNB, after Chheoki were were halting regularly after every 15-20 Kms... I guess ALD-MGS section of NCR is very congested... Mirzapur (MZP) arrived around 17:35 Hrs, after that it was smooth run... Mughal Sarai (MGS) arrived at 19:40 Hrs, after breif halt of 20 mins were let to go with an normal blue WAG-7 GMO... We were going at 80 KMPH till Sasaram (SSM)

Then we halted at Talit, after which we were let to go Barddhaman (BWN) at 06:15 Hrs... Here we over took an EMU bound for HWH via Main line near Shaktigarh... run to Dankuni (DKAE) was at about 70 KMPH, after Bally (BLY) we were crawling at 30 KMPH And we halted again before Liluah (LLH), here I had an look at Howrah Loco shed there were about 4 WAP-7's And about 2 dozens of WAP-4 And 2 WAM-4's... passed over Howrah Coaching Yard, near GT Road Bridge spotted SARAIGHAT EXPRESS being taken to Coaching yard with an WDP-4 SGUJ, but it was going from HWH New Complex... Strange... Also DANAPUR EXPRESS was there to greet me... Later spotted ASR HOWRAH MAIL with an WAP-4 HWH... Thus we reached HOWRAH at 08:10 Hrs of 03-11-2012 (Sat) on platform no : 10...
