After meeting friend at Khargar took local to Tilak nagar and entered LTT where LTT-ERS Duronto was already on pf, As I entered B6 there was family waiting for me to exchange seats as one seat was in B4 and I accepted it in order not to disturb family happiness. When I went to B4 it was LB where as my seat was SUB so I felt very happy. Knowing that dinner won’t be served on board I bought biriyani , as train departed I had...
more... my dinner . Soon my coach service assistant came to take note of morning bf/lunch etc.
After some time train passed PNVL where it didn’t stop and on IRI it was technical halt and I called ZED to help me wthr train would stop at MAJN(My journey was till MAJN) for which he got information from other railfans – I thank him a lot for confirming that train has tech halt at MAJN for sure.
The train reached RN at 2:10am and departed at 2:20am after MAJN-CSTM SF’s arrival , next stop was at MAO at 6:50am and departed from MAO at 7:05am (thought train was running before time) , as I was rail fanning near the door as and when train slowed down or stopped for crossings. Coach assistant offered me a deal for getting all kinda hot drinks in train, too which my reply was “NO”. I asked my frnz to reach MAJN at 12:15Pm But train reached at 11:40am itself and I was taking some pics of station for my frnz to arrive. And finally I reached my frnz place in Mangalore at 12:30pm.
