Part 3/3
The train arrived Buxar at 17:45 . Now expected journey was of 1 hr 30 mins . Spotted 13257 Jan Sadharan Exp running with ICF rake . Suddenly then heard a horrible announcement that Secunderabad Exp will stop at every station and run like a passenger train upto ARA . The reason was due to late running of 63226 MGS PNBE MEMU . Now the coach was filled like a Mumbai local train . Felt like I was travelling in a passenger train by paying 3AC and superfast fare :( . The train started crawling like a tortoise and stopped at Baruna , Dumraon, Twining Ganj , Banahi ,Bihiya , Karisath and finally ARA . The speed never went above...
more... 50 . The AC stopped working after Bihiya .Anyways I thought passenger run was over but it wasn’t . After skipping Kulharia & Koelwar the train was looped at Bihta . After 15 – 20 mins , to my surprise it was overtaken by Chandigarh Patliputra Exp. Shame !! An SF train overtaken by an express . The train finally departed after some mins and again stopped at Sadisopur . At this time passengers were criticising the controllers . The train stopped for nearly 10 minutes and again stopped at Neora (1 stn before Danapur) . A dark station with low platforms . . . waiting , waiting , waiting for 1 hr , many local passenger deboarded here who had lost their hope that this train will reach Danapur or not . At 21:00 the train finally moved and after stopping at the outer for 10 mins finally reached Danapur at 21:30 . Overall 3 hrs 45 minutes journey from Buxar to Danapur . Avg speed ~ 28 Km/hr .
Finally reached home at 22:30 . Overall an unforgettable journey .
Thanks for reading my trip report . . .
