was accompanied by one of my friend . We had planned to go Itarsi either by 11408 Lucknow Pune Exp or 18238 Chhatisgarh Exp , whichever arrives first . We Reached station at 18:00 hrs . 11408 was delayed by 1 hr 20 minutes . So 18238 arrived first but seeing the over crowded UR coach we didn’t boarded it . After 15 minutes 11408 arrived we boarded it & fortunately got 2 window seats . The train departed Bhopal at 20:00 and reached Itarsi at 21:50 . We had enough time so we had dinner in a restaurant outside the station campus .
After having a delightful night railfanning session at ET , the train finally arrived at 00:35 hrs . ET WDP 4D #40195 took the charge from ET. My coach B2 was brand new 2015 made and was neat & clean , there were two charging points present in each bay . I took the bedroll from the attendant . The train finally departed at 01:30 . The train followed 11065 Pawan Exp right from Itarsi to Varanasi . The train had a superb run , the next morning , the on board cleaning maintenance was excellent . The loco changed from WDP 4D to twin alcos at ALD. Things were going very well upto Mughalsarai , but after that . . . . to be continued

Part 3/3
The train arrived Buxar at 17:45 . Now expected journey was of 1 hr 30 mins . Spotted 13257 Jan Sadharan Exp running with ICF rake . Suddenly then heard a horrible announcement that Secunderabad Exp will stop at every station and run like a passenger train upto ARA . The reason was due to late running of 63226 MGS PNBE MEMU . Now the coach was filled like a Mumbai local train . Felt like I was travelling in a passenger train by paying 3AC and superfast fare :( . The train started crawling like a tortoise and stopped at Baruna , Dumraon, Twining Ganj , Banahi ,Bihiya , Karisath and finally ARA . The speed never went above

50 . The AC stopped working after Bihiya .Anyways I thought passenger run was over but it wasn’t . After skipping Kulharia & Koelwar the train was looped at Bihta . After 15 – 20 mins , to my surprise it was overtaken by Chandigarh Patliputra Exp. Shame !! An SF train overtaken by an express . The train finally departed after some mins and again stopped at Sadisopur . At this time passengers were criticising the controllers . The train stopped for nearly 10 minutes and again stopped at Neora (1 stn before Danapur) . A dark station with low platforms . . . waiting , waiting , waiting for 1 hr , many local passenger deboarded here who had lost their hope that this train will reach Danapur or not . At 21:00 the train finally moved and after stopping at the outer for 10 mins finally reached Danapur at 21:30 . Overall 3 hrs 45 minutes journey from Buxar to Danapur . Avg speed ~ 28 Km/hr .
Finally reached home at 22:30 . Overall an unforgettable journey .
Thanks for reading my trip report . . .
Regards

    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.
