peoples visiting TPTY from PDY or VM can use this as the train is filled up in KPD or TPTY...didnt have chance to have lunch or dinner in pantry - but snacks are awesome..especially after VLR or KPD , u can get tasty aloo bhaji + potato bhaji + green chilly bhaji for reasonable prize , 3 pcs for 20 rs......after Villupuram train stops in VLR and KPD only till TPTY...from KPD-TPTY slows down due to crossings....overall nice speed maintained in VM-VLR sector....full of chaos in KPD...many are old coaches ..charging outlets are in new type coaches which are very rare...always reaches VLR ahead of schedule and halts for nearly 30-40 min there...
