12301 rajdhani doj-8/3/12
coach-b7
PART1- arrived hwh at 14.50 hrs . pf-9 was full of saraighat passengers. that rake was pulled in at 15.00hrs by hwh wds 6. panbe janshat was rescheduled to leave at 16.10 hrs and was on pf 11. surprisingly, the chart was made as late as 16.00 hrs and dats when i got to know of my berth. my father, who was also going with me, was alloted in a different coach. saraighat left with a dippy at 15.50 hrs, pnbe janshat at 16.10 hrs, train was 99%

empty, hard to distinguish it from an empty rake.kalka mail was rescheduled at 22.30 hrs. mithila was on pf-8 . at 16.25hrs, hwh wds-6 pulled in the rake of 12301. strangely it has a WR coach at the end behind the gencar and b-3 written on it which created some confusion, but it was later clarified that thats not for passengers, only to be transported to WR. my coach had 19 berths out of 72 empty. in fact, 25% of the train was empty.so i and my father took a su and sl and told the attendant to clarify with tt later.yuva was (most probably) given on pf 11 after janshat left. signal was clear at 4.50pm and sharp at 16.55, wap-7 30235 lunged forward with a jerk and rajababu was on its way.
