form 8, train arrived at tumukur right time no signs of food, another couple of hrs after ariskere jn no signs of food. all the people were straving fro food then nextbirur jn no food. This been CC the compartment is almost end of the station nothing was available. Train was running almost 45 mins late by the time we reached Raniberur( most of the s journey in this route the stations are pretty old and good lookng blds, they almost look like pre independece era stations In train has to leave the station one of the employee come hits the Iron rod hanging to one of the poles). Most horrible part of this train was infotainment that was privided in this train horrible . Even local people wanted this infotainment to shut down. Air conditon was good althrough the journey and reached Hubli around 9.45 pm, this train was suppose to reach 9.05 pm. I never expected hubli station to be so clean and good.Plat form # 1 had hubli - vijaywada passenger ready to boarded platform # 2 had rani chennamma express from Kolapur to sbc, 3 # ubli- Tirupathi passenger arrived and Plat form # 4 had hUbli - Miraj Passenger and three compartments of hUbli- vasco express attached to same passenger train. As the temprature were quite high through out the day, I have booked SL in this train was little bit worried that inside the train it would too hot, so that sleeping would be difficult. There were 4 berths avaliable in sl and around 19 in Third a/c availabe after the train left hubli. Lot of young people were going to Goa. Sleeper coach condition wasn't that great ,one side of the door didn't have upper bolt to lock from inside. weather was quite good in whole night journey. Reached Madgoan right around 5.40on plat form # 3. Next part of journey from Madgoan to Panvel in Rajadhani. to be continued.
