Visited Jog Falls on Aug 5 by travelling in this train from end to end. Below are my observations
1. Train was already shunted on PF6.
2. Vishwamanava was already standing on PF3. Vishwamana rake was longer and had D5 while my train was short at 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4.
3. My first disappointment was seat
...
more...
numbering of CC coach doesn`t match with that in IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that both me and my wife were allotted window seats. However those were Middle and Aisle seats. Looks like aisle seats are the ones with windows.
4. Occupancy at 70% from MYS to SMET. After that it is 10%.
5. At MYS PF#6, one one coffee vendor was there.
6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, train stopped for 30-45 seconds only compared to 1-2 mins.
7. No Railneer. Only Bailey water bottle available priced at 15 rupees and has good quality bottle compared to slim railneer.
8. Churmuri, some buns, maddur vada available at small stations.
9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney at 50 rupees. No dose available.
10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and departed before it. Not much occupancy obsered in sleeper coaches.
11. Kadur and Birur are deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows.
12. Many people lie down on 3 seats in CC coaches as everyone was sleepy.
13. TTE deboarded at SMET. So anyone can travel in CC coach in that leg.
14. SMET-TLGP is the best part of journey. It is a single line with no electrification. One can spot peacocks flying on either side, heavy dense trees on both sides. Kind of like images from Nilambur Road from Kerala.
15. I found GS seats to be best. If the rush is less, one can easily lie back entirely. In D1-D4, people were asleep with only half part of body supported by seat.
16. One cannot transverse from CC, D coaches to GS coaches as they have no vestibules.
17. Liked the environment of Sagara and Talguppa. Not much commercialization, felt nice and quiet with just 1 food stall with biscuits.
18. Will add them later as soon as I remember anything important.

    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...
