Highlights from my journey in 16320 from SA-KCVL yesterday:-
1. Train ran on time till Karuppur where it got overtaken by 22851 SRC-MAQ Vivek exp. (Totally unnecessary)
2. Arrived SA 45 mins late
3. Had awesome runs, and usually trolled at ED and CBE outer.
4....
more... Reached PGT 01.30 hrs late
5. Overtook KIK-ERS exp at Idappalli, and QLN-CAPE MEMU at Varkala
6. Had good runs inside TVC divn (atleast according to its mps) except for Crossing at CGV in which it was looped when Venad didnt even reach Changanasseri.
7. Till now I have thought that RCF Kapurthala made HS coaches were same as normal 3A coaches wrapped in vinyl livery, but its not like that. Even though its interiors dont have vinyl wrapping/ coloured seats, it has some features like:-
Reading lamps in all berths
CCTV cameras
Room freshners
Display TV (although not working)
Charging point for every berth, i mean, every berth.
Baby seats in toilets
Better cushioning than normal 3A.
8. Occupancy was full owing to weekend and Diwali rush.. Hoping to be like this for every friday runs.
