Traveling at 430 kmph feels like this. Maglev in Shanghai. One can see the speed as 430 kmph at 40-43 seconds into the video.

I am surprised that there is no waiting room for AC first passengers in Secundrabad (SC). They have two prepaid AC waiting halls that are dirty, stinky due to poor ventilation hence a health risk, and crowded. Unsuitable for high fare paying passengers. In contrast, Rajahmundry has a separate waiting hall for all AC ticket holders that is well maintained and clean. Had disappointing experience in SC.

I traveled from VSKP to ARK on 58501/VSKP KRDL PASS by Ist Class compartment. The train passes through some the most scenic landscapes while cross the Eastern Ghats. But the compartment was horrible. I suppose IR should replace the compartment to attract tourists.

Shalimar AC express from SC to HWH is good except for toilets. But the train was not even half full on the day I traveled from SC to RJY.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
