Many people are dissatisfied with the coach composition of 11057 /58 and many general passengers are left out and couldn't board the train due to heavy crowd in the general coach... The last general coach was used as RMS coach and was sealed.. and on the 2nd LHB run rake, one parcel van has been added in front.. iny opinion CR can add 2-3 parcel and general coaches more to cater the people else this condition will get more intensified and worse than anyone can imagine as this train has too many halts enroute .. CR should think once and add the required coaches in this

Some pictures from my today concluded trip in and my first from Singrauli in 22167 Sgrl Nzm Urjadhani Express. It was also my first trip in this train and first experience of this route which seems almost 10 years behind India as far as rail development is concerned.

Pic 1,6, 11 - Singrauli station entry and station board. The rush in the station was due to people who deboarded Bpl Sgrl Urjadhani Express and the ones who were going board Nzm bound Urjadhani

Pic 2,3,4,5 - Nzm Urjadhani standing on pf no 1 at Sgrl. The train was rescheduled by one hour due to late arrival of BPL Urjadhani. The train had maximum patronage from Sgrl followed by Bargawan. Almost all the seats got occupied at Bargawan. The train was hailed by Etarsi WAP 7

Pic 7,8 - Urjadhani standing at Dubri Kalan. The train was looped for more than 45 mins due to Single line route. The single line route is the reason the train got delayed by one hour more as it reached Katni

Pic 9 - Urjadhani standing at Katni murwara. It's strange that you won't get any food items to buy in the Sgrl - Katni stretch. Vendors started pouring in finally from Katni which was a great relief.

Pic 10 - Standing at Jhansi. After a great run from Katni till Jhansi where the train made up 30 mins of delay, it was halted for almost 1.5 hours at Jhansi thanks to NCR controlling.

Pic 12 - Standing at Faridabad.

Pic 13, 14 - Finally arrived at NZM delayed by almost 3 hours. Mumbai Delhi amrit kalash special parked at NZM.

Overall the train is a great relief for Delhi bound pax from Sgrl and surrounding areas. It would be of great help if the trains frequency is increased and if possible, it should be converted into daily superfast.

During late afternoon Bike Ride to Sarojini Nagar Market from My House in Chanakyapuri I thought I saw a familiar Board on the Bridge on Africa Avenue Road. So stopped my Bike to lo and behold... Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express on Parikrama Ride through Delhi Circular Sub Urban Route. The rake apparently spends it's entire day roaming around Circular Circuit as I had seen the same rake in morning moving towards Delhi Sarai Rohilla in 09:42 AM in morning from Metro just before Pratap Nagar Metro Station (on Red Line).
