Re# 1759851-1              
Time for a report now.
Part I:-
I booked my return ticket from Kol to B'lore in January for 5th March,2016. At that time I got W/L 9. Slowly and steadily as time progressed, the W/L went to RAC and finally 2 days before the journey got CNF. Got Seat 35 (UB) in coach B3. So cut short to the trip, reached HWH at 8pm on 5th March(saturday), 12863 was already stationed at PF22. On the adjacent PF21, HWH-CSTM Mail (NGP) was ready for it's departure.

came into the PF22, UR coach was jampacked and people were already getting settled in the reserved coaches. CC is same as what mentioned in this site. (Only change noticed was, PC came after S13 and then S14 and the AC coaches at the end). Loco Link, WAP4 Not sure of the shed as it was way ahead from where my coach was. Kept my luggage below the seat, had a formal hi-hello with the co-passengers mostly travelling to KPD and TPTY as usual. At 8.45 pm, the LP gave a long shrill honk and the journey started, steadily crawling out of HWH and Tikiapara Shed. Kept on doing a very decent pace passing through Subarban stations to SRC where we slowed down somewhat, but soon picked up the lost pace as the P4 would generally do and kept on thrusting forward. Since it was dark outside, decided not to venture at the door, checked the wash-rooms, commendably clean (very good), Coach B2 had Bio Toilets, all 4 but couldn't make out any significant difference. Came back in my coupe, an elderly couple was preparing for their sleep ( travelling to KPD) , 2 middle and one upper berth was to be filled up in Mecheda and KGP respectively. So in the meantime I had my dinner when we crossed Mecheda clocked at 9.35pm. I had a tiring Saturday afternoon, so decided to sleep as we reached KGP right at 10.20pm. by the way, Charging points were present in each coupe and in SideLowers also working fully. Bedsheets were clean and neat. Went to sleep in the hope of some raw action next day morning by P4...

    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...
