So from GTL , TPTY coaches will be in the front and HYD coaches will be at back.
In return(VSG-GTL direction), HYD coaches will be in the front and mostly it gets PF3/4 at Hubli. This train has lot of buffer so it will be detained in between Koppal and ballari . At GTL station, loco which came with this train will take first part at 9pm and remaining part (VSG-TPTY) will be in the same platform and hauled by BZA WAP4.. Very strange arrangement. You will have lot of time at GTL station and can use first platform restaurant for dinner. Taste is very good.
17022 train will be detained at Pendekallu and Dhone for 1 hour at least. This train will be over taken by 17604 at Dhone and you will encounter crossing with venkatadri somewhere near ulindakonda-dupadu.
Traveled in 2A, coaches are super clean and awesome speed except lot of buffer. There are no catering (IRCTC order based) for 17021 train so you can purchase food at Hospet
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, this train's got some extra time at GTL. Mostly 17419 and this train show up at PF4,5 at GTL.
After that, this train's engine gonna connect with 17419, and 17021 coaches joining at the back. PF for 17419 stays the same but 17021
Important deets - this train chilling in Gadag for Golgumbaz.
So, from GTL, TPTY coaches will be up front and HYD coaches at the rear.
On the way back (VSG-GTL route), HYD coaches will be leading and probly hitting PF3/4 at Hubli. This train got a lot of slack so it'll be chilling between Koppal and Ballari. At GTL, the engine that rolled in with this train will take the first leg at 9 pm, and the rest (VSG-TPTY) will stay put and be pulled by BZA WAP4. Weird setup. You got plenty of time at GTL, hit the first platform joint for some grub. Highly recommended taste.
17022 train will hang at Pendekallu and Dhone for at least an hour. 17604 will zoom past this train at Dhone, with a meet up near Ulindakonda-Dupadu with Venkatadri.
Rode in 2A, coaches are mad clean and speedy, but got a lot of slack. No catering on the IRCTC menu for 17021, so grab some eats at Hospet.
