A meet with PKV<br />--------------------<br />As a railfan, each one of us has some obsession or some sort of preference. Where ...

class="reversehighlighted">zahaib prefers weird long routes at times, pkv prefers connecting trains, shashank prefers fastest trains and Teja prefers confirm berth by any route, I have an obsession too...<br />I am obsessed with weeklies and bi weeklies. My love for them refuses to diminish. Another obsession which I would like to share is I hate repeating trains. I ll seldom prefer a train I have travelled once and will change any no.of trains to avoid that...<br />With reference to the above obsession, I am onboard hlz mas sangrami express. I would like to inform that when I booked sangrami, plenty of seats were vacant in Duronto. And I am not destined to Chennai, hence I ll have to change a train at Chennai. To board sangrami I had to leave my home an hour earlier than I would have had I boarded Duronto. Also I would have reached Bangalore a minimum of 12 hrs earlier, but still I preferred a route involving two transfers and twelve hours extra. No wonder why we are rail fans.<br />So I booked a telescopic ticket from kharagpur to Bangalore via Chennai and planned to board an emu from howrah to kharagpur. When I Informed my plans to PKV sir, he was courteous enough to accompany me to kgp, even if it meant that he had to return all alone.

more...
class="reversehighlighted">nd I made it to howrah on time. As usual , the first thing was to check wheelers for TAAG but none available. Although ERZTT and local TT available. All those interested can rush. TAAG arrival date unknown as well. Met PKV sir near food plaza and we rushed to board midnapore EMU. Got a window seat. Owing to my recent leg sprain, I was limping and sir was so willing to help me with my luggage till the coach. All i would like to say about PKV sir is that &quot;Humility defines an individual.&quot;<br />So we boarded the emu and then lots of chitchats along with frequent tea and snacks. Hwh ypr Duronto and hwh digha Duronto overtook us. Many trains crossed in opposite direction. Watched the two different routes to reach haldia...one bypassing pku and one with reversal at pku. Reached kgp and straight a way hit food plaza. Even though we are not big foodies, but still enjoyed chicken noodles, chicken chilly, paratha and chhole. Trust me guys, please Check out food plaza kgp the next time you are here. It's yummy and economical and situated on platform 1...where most of the trains come.<br />PKV had to board hyb hwh east coast and I had to board hlz mas sangrami. But just before sangrami came east coast on pf1.

class="reversehighlighted">nothing that kgp stood as the longest platform in the world for almost a decade. In less than ten minutes sangrami zippy zipped east coast and came on same platform. That is loco of east coast and guard van of sangrami stood twenty metres apart on same track. Checked out my coach. 2008 made. Just two rac (yesterday night the status was gnwl5 ckwl2). Maximum passengers from kgp to mas. Charging points in both sides of bay. Ultra clean and decent co passengers. Before I could take out my call to inform PKV he called me to inform he boarded his return train as well. Tte came and checked the ticket. Very courteous. Excellent cooling and clean toilets. Although the journey has just began but I am already impressed...hats off to this weekly.

class="reversehighlighted"> there is 90 min slack between bza and mas , hence stopping every now and then. still will make it to mas at right time. there is a missing pantry and passengers are suffering a bit. although order has been taken and food delivered but since the stoppages are very few, so food being delivered at odd hours. most of passengers from kgp to mas. hardly any from vskp (odd hours...2/20night)...I wonder why was it diverted via vskp...may be suits return train...5 sleepers but jo over crowding...7 unreserved and again no overcrowding...3a is awesome...clean...n comfortable...this train is a must try if u r looking for weekend travel...
