Yesterday, I completed my first solo travel. Today, I am presenting the trip report of my travel from BSR to TCR by the 12218 Kerala Sampark Kranti exp. on 21st June.
I arrived at Vasai station at around 10 am with my parents, who were, obviously, tensed about my travel. At about 10 20, KSK arrived at platform no 6 in Vasai, 30 mins before schedule.

whole journey, I only went to the toilet of HA1 compartment, placed next to ours. I had to prey three times to the bedding guy for my bedrolls. The train ran before schedule in almost all the sectors. It had long stoppages of more than half an hour at Vasai, Panvel, Madgaon and Shornur, where the stoppage was of an hour. The compartment had full occupancy. I reached TCR at 1 pm, about an hour late, due to the stoppage at Shornur. Overall, it was a good journey. I had taken several pics of both my travels, but unfortunately, my mobile memory card faced a viral attack, due to which all my pics and songs had to be erased.
Ratings
Cleanliness- 3/5.
Food- 3.5/5 ( According to a co-traveller).
Punctuality- 4/5.
Overall- 3.5/5.
Thank You!!!!!!!!

Thanks Aravind for the precise and concise trip report. I can understand the thrill and joy you experienced on your first solo trip. May be this be the forerunner of many memorable trips to come. Not that I want you to become an LP or TTE :)
