Well to summarize this journey
1) was delayed due to hose pipe bursts post aljn
2) post that it continuously did 130 kmph
3) Cleanliness of train was superb. Even in the morning when the train was crossing neora still the staff were cleaning the gallery and vestibule. Total rating 5/5
4)...
more... Food was good and better than what I have in 12301/13/59 in up or 12302,14 in DN.
4) Now comes the biggest part and that is it's run in ECR divn.
A) Stopped at dildarnagar, chausa, buaxar, banahi, bihîya, raghunathpur, Ara outer followed by pf , karisath,koelwar, sadisopur, bihita, neora followed by danapur outer and finally at DNR where I deboarded the train.
Jab ECR apne divn ke prime train ke Saath aisa kar sakta Hai toh doosre zone ke trains ke Saath pata bhi nahi. Controlling of DNR really sucks.
This happens to be my first experience in main line route where I was travelling after 7 years as I have been travelling always via GC. GC ke controlling ke aage kuch bhi nahi hain main line.
One thing that I noticed here was the signals as I spent most of the time at gate. The signals which I have seen is four lights ie 2 yellow, 1 green and 1 red. But most of the section I saw only two lights.
Last but not the least the roads from danapur to aiims is a harrowing experience. Itne ghade and aise roads ki little said is better understood. Took complete 90 mins for 4.4 kms journey
