Traveled in this train between BZA and MAS yesterday. Some observations-
1) Got the ticket in current booking easily. Lots of seats available for current booking.

2) Long running time between these two stations. For instance, both HWH MAS Mail and this one, arrived at BZA around same time, and Mail took off just 5 mins before this. But Mail arrived

at MAS 3 hours before this one. This train literally crawls throughout.

3) Difficult to deal with Unreserved passengers. No help from TTE. Be ready to fight your own war. TTE just advises those people to leave and runs away. The TTE was so so much into his job that he checked the tickets who boarded at Ongole just before Ennore.

4) Weekly train and overloaded. So forget about toilets. Never try to use them.

5) Since a weekly train, no one at BZA station were sure about in which platform the train would be received. Based on IRI, I was waiting at #5, but the train came at #10.

6) Offlink loco - WAP7 Ajni was pulling this train. I was wondering WAP1 should suffice to make a train to crawl.

1) Bpl,ngp, bza rlwl qouta less so after overlapping of qoutas after chart tickets will show up.
2) Train goes via krishna canal- new guntur - tenali ,Mail goes directly to tenali saves 45 min extra time also mail is sf with less, stop also rsa with coro any delay will be get impacted with coro dep.
3) last min takers might be there as it's biweekly train 2-3 hrs jrny paxs might be boarding section wise.
4)

Re# 5588870-2              
1) This may be true. But that was just an advise, that this option could be explored instead of wasting money on tatkal.

2) I know this runs via New Guntur. But still, this could be speeded up, and being a long distance train, many unnecessary stations could be removed. I saw there were lots of MEMU trains to and from Vijayawada for those shorter commutes.

3) Even if the journey is just for 2 to 3 hours, they are not authorized to board reserved coaches.

4) The TTE was very well available in our compartment, as he fought for his seat :) and he could have checked as they boarded. Still, it is his duty to deboard unauthorized passengers.

Imagine an unforeseen situation where in we have to evacuate. This compartment can handle only 72 to 80 pax. Where in there were at least 120 on that day.

Mostly it will be on PF 10 unless it is not available. Both this train and Andaman will have UR pax and it is going on since long time :). 10 hours running time given from BZA - MAS. It can be 8 hrs.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
