People were madly rushing inside...I think from SBC itself,around 100-120 boarded the S3...I wasnt at all sure where I should stick to the TTE seat(where me along with an unknown traveller till MLDT had find ourselves a position)or search for elsewhere....bt mean time,crush started over Regular pass with the W/L one...where the W/L had entirely blocked both side doors so actual passengers couldnt board....SBC TC's came in to check whether any U/R traveller got into the Resvd coach or not...find a guy..& directly sent him back..meanwhile the most interseting part was about to occur..it was already 23.40 & there was no scene of train starting...A Family(of 13travellrs) bounded for KNE boarded with a brand new LCD TV & a Washing Machine..LCD TV got adjusted in their seat but W/M had to be kept in the passage..to add to more woes 2 guys,bound for BLS came in with brand nw Supreme Plastic...
more... Chairs...(later realised it was a boon for the W/L pax)..though consumed space but later that friendly guy allowed each of us to sit in that chair for 15 mts..was very thankfull to him...then finally train moved on @ 23.55...BTW(the TTE seat in which I was seating wasnt a SL berth,but the narrow seat near the corridor)..as such a narrow seat had to shared with 2 of us...my head was automatically allowed to enjoy the fresh cool breeze of outside..
