Well, the vendors are ok in this train! I saw one wearing "meals-on-wheels" shirt.
At starting (it was 25 minutes LATE from the origin PPTA), one vendor mumbling "khana order" made one round at ARA (@9:45 PM).
Only VEG food was served for Lunch @11:30 AM after taking order around 10 AM (btw, was 2:30 hours late at LKO, leaving @9:15 AM).
Food was...
more... fixed menu of muttar-paneer, sabzi, dal, rice, rotis, thats it for Rs 130!, all individually packed and served in styrofoam tray with a spoon.
Dinner was also asked for around 10 PM just before UMB.
Train reached UMB @11 PM, TOTAL DELAY = 6:30 hours!!! (short terminated for non-interlocking work) From there it likely started back after delay...
This train stopped at so many places, was standing for hours in the night after MGS.
The day part was not much better.
Train has old VAISHALI express coaches. My coach S-7 had 2 UNLOCKABLE TOILETS!
Posting pictures of PPTA and the coach toilets....
One can see the digha bridge express way road under construction just beyond PF 2.
