Trip Report-------->12155 HBJ-NZM SF, Date:- 05/05/2013
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Left Hotel room early so that I can get to see HBJ station and few trains before boarding my train. As I entered Goa exp was skipping HBJ with good speed. Checked pf# for my train it was 1 so decided to do some RF and walked to pf # 3, where I got chance to see GT ,MYS-JP SF, Gondwana, Rewanchal SF. Rewanchal SF was the first ISO certified train which I saw from outside directly and felt it...

really deserved ISO trade mark. As it was close to 9pm went back to pf#1 where I bought 2 thali’s Rs. 80/- each, to my shock the thali was awesome. Finally rake arrived @ 9:10pm, I entered inside my coach uffff it was pure clean including wash rooms and I understood why ISO trade mark is given to this 12155. Guys who didn’t travel by ISO train should atleast try once to see what ISO actually mean.
Train departed bang ontime @ 9:15pm but reached BPL bit late and again departed after 5 mins from BPL, I got call from Mr. Manit to say ‘final bye’. Train reached Vidisha and was made to wait for 10 mins Suddenly my train stopped for more than 10 mins and I was able to hear horn "pooom pooom" when I looked, it was Coolest girl LGD WAP7 with her hottest boy friend "Bangalore Rajdhani" burning vidisha with over 135+kmph. And it was great treat for me as I was seeing Bangalore Rajdhani with WAP7 for the first time directly. Also felt that Rajdhani saying -->> Hey dude!! You forgot me? Not to be seen these days.
After 18 mins train departed from Vidisha, Now its most interesting part -> 2 boys and a girl were trvlg from BPL to AGC,they were shouting and spking disturbing everyone. Wch made few pax to ask them to keep silence wch indeed made them to sleep. SLB-first guy was sleeping,SUB second guy and girl were sharing. Everything was smooth with them until TTE came and asked them for ticket where second guy was trvalld with UR ticket without paying penalty/TTE’s knwldge. So TTE asked him to pay 300 rs/- extra wch he refused and started arguing to fine him 50 rs/- ,this lead TTE to break his nerve and asked him to move from reservation coach , the guy got down @ BINA but came back again and took the girl to TTE and after some time first guy too went. Now TTE comes back to der seat and waits for them, they returned(not sure wher they went) TTE again asked him to pay 300 rs/-,second guy was able to convince TTE and paide only 100 rs/- . Now, Is this right??
This made me sleep @ 3am and these guys started shouting again but this time it was 6 am, and they were stil onboard wch means that train was running late and reached AGC @ 6:30am, and reached MTJ 1 hr late. Soon after departing from MTJ train stopped some where,where there was no station and it was BCT-NDLS Raj this time with rocketing speed. And finally reached NZM 1 hr late. This is the 3rd time I am seeing this train arriving 1 hr late @ NZM. Is it normal?
