Finaly after a long wait I wanna share my experience of visiting Katra in last month.
Part No. 1
We started journey from home around 5pm. And reached Parichowk at 05:15pm.There was a heavy crowd so we took a cab for Noida. There was a heavy traffic Jam at Mahamaya Flyover so we got unexpected delay and reached Noida around 07:00 pm. From there we took a 4 coacher metro for Rajeev chowk . luckily at Rajeev chowk we get a 8 coacher metro so we reach Kashmiri gate easily. From there again...
more... I have to took a metr to shashtri nagar. I noticed that red line metro is less maintained compare to yellow and blue line metro. Anyway we reached at shashtri nagar at 08:15pm. There I took a burger and coldrink and started to took a walk to Delhi Sarai Rohilla-DEE.
Within 10 min we were at railway station. Offs there was no ligting at platforms it remember back me my home town station. We entered in upper class waiting room with sleeper class ticket, nobody ask me before entering. I spoted there Rajasthan Sampark kranti on main line between pf 1&2. Around 08:30 pm, Rajdhani skips us at slow speed. I spoted meeruth Rewari passenger at 08:40pm on pf3. Around 09:20 we left waiting room and came on FOB. From there I saw my train coming from yard line,, after few minuts train took place on pf2. There was usual crowd waiting for train, I saw charts there was waiting more then 500 that day.
Unluckily got upper berth so there was vey less chances for rail fanning, train strted on time, after few minuts TTE came and orced me to close the gates so my excitation was totally erased. After few minuts train reached narela and overtook Jhelum there, I was seening this from window pane of door . coaches was dirty and uncleaned, toilets smelling till 2nd cabin. Coach had too much jerks and bouncing. Train took a nonstop run till ambala but there it stoped for few minuts it again start boosting and after few minuts it overtook Golden tample mail. I tried to took a small bit of sleep but unsuccesed due to poor schedule. Train reached ludhiyana at 02:30 pm.whichwas 20 min before then schedule. It was arrived on pf 4. There was heavy raining so I cant came out on platform. I was feeling hugry bt ther was no wendor till that time inside the train . I took some chips from a wendor which was came inside the train in that heavy rain. After taking 25 min halt it started at 02:55pm. Which was also 5 min before . after few time it reached at Jalandhar but here again it stopped for 15 minuts. TTE was not there but I didn’t open gates due to heavy raining. Train was waiting for Andaman express . then after I got slept and waked up around 07:10 am. I check my mobile , there was no network so I get sured that we were near destination. After few minuts at 07:22am we reached at JAT.
