Train more than 50 mins late. Long wait at Kottayam station
The bedrolls are clean and look new, unlike on the last trip when they looked old and dirty.
But no tea or coffee vendor has come this way yet.
Generally in this train have seen them ignoring first and second class, because of low numbers
Nice appam & egg curry for breakfast@ Shornur

Long halt at Mangalore. Onboard pantry service in this train is useless. Last week tweeted to rail minister Suresh Prabhu to include pantry car service in this train. The fish curry-rice bought from Mangalapuram station was under-cooked. Bad food alone can make a journey unsavory. Hope some rail authorities are listening.

This is a nice system. What I posted in the Rail Cal app has integrated into my Indiarailinfo live trip blog. Neat!
Am passing through some very scenic areas. But can see little of that from inside an AC coach. If there is a way to redesign these coaches so there is a better view of the outside-- without compromising safety-- it would be great.Am sure with today's technology there would be a way.
Also need an audio announcement system to alert about the next station. AC passengers have a harrowing time figuring out where the train has reached so they won't miss their deboarding point. Wonder why no railway authorities have noticed this so far. This is a chalta-hai mindset carried over fromrom the colonial, PSU era. Passengers need more consideration/thought from the Railways. Having said that, a lot - LOT-- has...
more... changed in the last two years. Please build on the good work.
Beautiful countryside-- reminds me of the Kerala of my childhood

At Udipi. Had nice badam milk. Refreshing!
Looked like we were making up lost time but this x-ing is pushing us back again.
Was a train to Kochuveli-- and we got moving again!

@ Karwar. She's a beauty!
Yes, had x-ed that train too. Don't remember where. Thnx for following.
Yes, that was the Udipi x-ing. Thanks. I didn't quite catch the name then!
20.20 IST. Dinner not yet served. Lousy pantry service. If there is a reason not to take this train, it is the lack of availability of food and tardy pantry services.
Some cache issues with uploading on this app? A few of my earlier uploads aren't published yet.
Finally, dinner. At least the guy is courteous!

Beautiful Maharashtra Konkan countryside-- covered in a light blanket of mist.
Arrived on time! My thanks to all who followed this journey. Bit new to this site and app, and connection was pretty spotty across the Konkan line. Hence couldn't interact much with all of you. But thanks again!
