Pic - 6,7,8,9 - New LHB SL coach interior and exterior looks...train board of Nellai exp with its RSA pothigai exp...the new type ladder (as seen in pic) was very comfortable to climb to middle, upper berths...and there are no tube lights instead all are LED lights...those lights were also nice and its brightness was higher when compared to tube lights...!!
Overall the journey was smooth, fine and comfortable....and one info...i travelled in Middle berth. If we open up the window slightly that's enough...air circulation was superb throughout the journey through the window for middle and lower berths...!!
