Short trip summary - I had to go back to Secunderabad on last minute as a result, I thought to take Pune - Sec shatabdi and to be in Pune at moring time, I took this train on sat night - 19-Oct.
This train coach composition is Loco to 1st 12 coach of Pandharpur/bijapur passenger and then SLR-UR-S2-S1-B1-UR-UR-SLR.
This train started on time from CSTM. I was in S2 coach. Coach was dull and toilets were not clean. However, floor was clean. There were hardly few passenger boarded from CSTM and many came...
more... at dadar.
Inspite of passenger train, not a single UN-authorised person came in coach as TC was on high alert and every single station he was getting down on platform and monitoring who is getting in train. Actually, there were 3 TCs, One for AC coach, second for S1 and S2 and third for S3 and S4 of pandharpur coach. due to all monitoring, no one jumped in reserved coach. Train had good speed and reached Pune at 3.45 AM only, where WCAM2 was detached and WDG4 of Gooty manufactured in may-2012 was attached to train. I didn't took any photo as RPF was there on platform.
I had traveled after almost 4 years in sleeper or non-ac coach so didn't got sound sleep but due to excellent performance of TC, it was secure sleep. All 3 TC were young and I guess, newly joined.
