Now coming to the main part - My Travel experience in 17652 from KCG to AJJ:
Loco link for 21st Oct departure from PF 5 of KCG was a Kavach fitted BZA WAP-4 22596. My 1st time travel with a Kavach fitted loco leading our train ❤.
My dad & I were alloted a CNFed berth in B5-1 (lower) & B5-2 (middle). However as an elderly 80 + yr old woman had been shockingly alloted B5-3 (upper berth) 😮🤐 & no one around was willing to negotiate, me & my dad agreed to...
more... provide her the lower berth alloted to my dad. And finally my dad moved to the middle berth & me to the upper berth.
Like most of the times, for dinner during train travel, we had a simple bowel friendly curd rice with cabbage curry packed from home.
The overall maintenance in this train was pretty good. The toilets were well maintained & there was hardly any smell coming from the toilet to the area where we were settled.
But the main problem which I faced was sleep disturbance & this was due to this strange factor: my height 😂 (I'm nearly 6' 2"). I was sleeping on upper berth & very close to the inner entrance door. So those who went to toilets & came back to their respective areas, while opening the inner entrance door, it kept continuously hitting my left ankle & foot region. Moreover I don't find comfort folding my legs for a long time to adjust myself within the short space, as I don't get sleep in this posture & some sort of restlessness develops.
But ignoring these discomforts, it was a good experience & I got down in some of the stations to do a mini-RF session.
