#20475 #20476: Kisi ke paas koi idea hai ki Miraj tak NR rake ka istemaal karne ke peeche kya wajah hai? Kya Pune mein ek din ke liye #20475 #20476 rakhne ki jagah nahi hai? #20475 BKN se time par chalne ke baad ABR tak lagbhag samay par chalta hai lekin aage ki deri ke karan Pune pahuchta hai. Is deri ke kaaran #14723, #01424 aur antim mein #20476 ka saman rake istemaal kar rahe hain. Pehle #22943 #22944 DD chale gaye, #22105 #22106 SUR chale gaye.

Yo, I went to Jog Falls on Aug 5, chillin' on this train from start to finish. Here's what I noticed: 1. Train was already parked at Platform 6 (PF6). 2. Vishwamanava was already standin' at Platform 3 (PF3). Vishwamana train was longer, had a D5 carriage, while my ride was short with only 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4. 3. First letdown was that the seat numbers in the CC coach didn't match the ones on IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that me and my wife could get window seats. Turns out, we got stuck with middle and aisle seats. Seems like the aisle seats are the ones with windows. 4. Occupancy was around 70% from MYS to SMET, but after that, it dropped to 10%. 5. At MYS PF#6, there was only one coffee vendor. 6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, the train only stopped for 30-45 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes. 7. No Railneer, only Bailey water bottles available for 15 rupees. The quality of the bottle was better than the slim railneer. 8. Small stations had churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available. 9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney for 50 rupees. No dosa though. 10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and left before it. The sleeper coaches weren't very crowded. 11. Kadur and Birur were deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows. 12. Lots of people were spread out on 3 seats in the CC coaches, snoozin' away. 13. The TTE got off at SMET, so anyone could travel in the CC coach after that. 14. The journey from SMET to TLGP was the best part. It's a single line with no electricity. You can spot peacocks flyin' on both sides, dense trees everywhere. Kinda like those pics from Nilambur Road in Kerala. 15. I found the seats in GS to be the best. If it's not too crowded, you can easily lie down completely. In D1-D4, people were knocked out, with only half their body supported by the seat. 16. You can't move from the CC or D coaches to the GS coaches 'cause there ain't no vestibules. 17. I liked the vibe in Sagara and Talguppa. Not too commercialized, felt peaceful with just one food stall sellin' biscuits. 18. I'll add more stuff later if I remember anything important.

I recently complained about the restoration of this train on PGportal, and this is the response I got: The train 11025/11026 PUNE-BSL-PUNE is only running between BSL-IGP right now to clear up the congestion in the IGP-KYN, PNVL-KJT-LNL-KYN-PNVL section. This section has been causing delays for other trains in the Ghat section. For now, they are using a MEMU rake as a temporary solution. They say that there are already 6 pairs of trains running between Pune and Karjat, which is enough for the current traffic. This decision has been approved by the higher-ups.

Hil gaya bhai PGportal pe is train ki restorations ke baare mein complaint karke, aur ye tha reply jo mila mujhe: 11025/11026 PUNE-BSL-PUNE train ko partially cancel kar diya hai, IGP-KYN, PNVL-KJT-LNL-KYN-PNVL section mein bada traffic hai aur iski wajah se aur trains ke saath time pe panga ho raha hai Ghat section mein. Hal mei, 11025/11026 PUNE-BSL-PUNE train BSL-IGP ke beech MEMU rake se chal rahi hai temporary arrangement ke taur pe. Abhi toh Pune-Karjat station ke beech 06 pairs of trains chal rahe hai, jo traffic ke level ke hisab se kaafi hai. Ye approval competent authority ka hai.

Yo, RFs! Which CR train that got cancelled you wanna see back in action, whether it's the same or with some tweaks? (Only for trains that got permanently cancelled)

Arre bhai, CR RFs, koi bhi ek cancel train hai jo tu chahega ki restore ho jaye, kisi bhi badlav ke saath ya bina? (sirf permanent cancel trains ke liye)
