D3 Coach is only for ladies, bro. The other 8 coaches are regular ones, with seats (not sleeping).

D3 Coach ladies ke liye reserved hai. Baki 8 general coaches Second Seating (Chair Car) coaches hai.

Yo, I went to Jog Falls on Aug 5, chillin' on this train from start to finish. Here's what I noticed: 1. Train was already parked at Platform 6 (PF6). 2. Vishwamanava was already standin' at Platform 3 (PF3). Vishwamana train was longer, had a D5 carriage, while my ride was short with only 16 coaches and no D5. The GS coaches start after D4. 3. First letdown was that the seat numbers in the CC coach didn't match the ones on IRCTC. I booked 2 separate tickets so that me and my wife could get window seats. Turns out, we got stuck with middle and aisle seats. Seems like the aisle seats are the ones with windows. 4. Occupancy was around 70% from MYS to SMET, but after that, it dropped to 10%. 5. At MYS PF#6, there was only one coffee vendor. 6. At Krishnarajanagara and Hole Narsipur, the train only stopped for 30-45 seconds compared to 1-2 minutes. 7. No Railneer, only Bailey water bottles available for 15 rupees. The quality of the bottle was better than the slim railneer. 8. Small stations had churmuri, buns, and maddur vada available. 9. At Hassan, we could get 2 idli, 1 vada with chutney for 50 rupees. No dosa though. 10. At Arsikere, my train arrived after chalukya and left before it. The sleeper coaches weren't very crowded. 11. Kadur and Birur were deserted junctions with no trains, no people, no facilities, not even stray dogs or cows. 12. Lots of people were spread out on 3 seats in the CC coaches, snoozin' away. 13. The TTE got off at SMET, so anyone could travel in the CC coach after that. 14. The journey from SMET to TLGP was the best part. It's a single line with no electricity. You can spot peacocks flyin' on both sides, dense trees everywhere. Kinda like those pics from Nilambur Road in Kerala. 15. I found the seats in GS to be the best. If it's not too crowded, you can easily lie down completely. In D1-D4, people were knocked out, with only half their body supported by the seat. 16. You can't move from the CC or D coaches to the GS coaches 'cause there ain't no vestibules. 17. I liked the vibe in Sagara and Talguppa. Not too commercialized, felt peaceful with just one food stall sellin' biscuits. 18. I'll add more stuff later if I remember anything important.

Shimoga aur Talguppa ke beech ka train ka rasta BAHUT khoobsurat hai, jahan gaadi jangle se guzarti hai aur kabhi-kabhi kuch gaon bhi aate hai. Agar tum barish ke mausam mein is safar par jao, toh mazaa aur bhi badh jata hai. Pic dekh lo jo attach ki hai. Ye train Shimoga se Talguppa ke beech mein kaafi khali chalti hai, isliye tum khud ko ek acha window seat le sakte ho (general compartment mein bhi) aur thandi hawa ke saath nature ka maza le sakte ho.

Train from Shimoga to Talguppa mostly runs empty because it's an intercity train. If they stop for one minute at stations like Haranahalli, Kumsi, and Arasalu, they could spend just three minutes and get more passengers. In the morning, if you want to go to places like Hosanagar, Shikaripur, and Honnali from Bengaluru, you can take the Shatabdi 12079 train to Birur, and then take the 16206 train from Mysore to Talaguppa after getting down at SMET, from where you have to catch a bus. Similarly, passengers from Honnali, Shikaripur, Haranahalli, and Ayanur going to Bangalore can take these trains and easily reach Bangalore from Birur or Arasikere. Passenger going toward Hosanagar and south canara can get down at Arasalu and easily travel to their native place.
