Anybody with relevant knowledge and experience please help. I know its a huge blog and complicated problem and million thanks in adbance to all my well wishers and those who help others in need.
I wanted to book luggage(household goods weight 220kgsapprox) for shifting in this train from Vijayawada to Chakki Bank. At first parcel office told me in this train loading is not permitted from here as it comes sealed from Chennai neither unloading is permitted at Chakki Bank, only at terminating station that is Jammu Tawi. Some platform porters told me you can book as parcel but space is not guaranteed in the same train same date however your luggage will be send to Jammu Tawi in any other

train may be delayed not more than a week. Then I was asked to verify the same from Parcel office chief supervisor, he said I can only talk to Chennai office to see if some room is available for your luggage, that too only after you book and then come. But today he is saying'No such provision is there, If you want you can talk to leased contractors'. When I spoke to one of them they said, 'one 23 tonne van is attached to that train from here, I will put your luggage in that, but my lease is only upto New Delhi, their it will be unloaded and send through any other day after few days'. But my intention is to carry all the luggage in the same train along with me. Now I a thinking is it possible that after my luggage is unloaded in New Delhi can I book the luggage from New Delhi in the same train, since this train halts at Delhi for 1 hour. It is written that this train halts at Pltfrom 1, is luggage office close to pltfrom 1? will I be allowed to load them in the same train? will they weigh everything once again and give me receipt? Is 1 hr. sufficient time for the process.Or else, I have another ticket in 2AC in Shalimaar 4645 Exp, following day till Jammu, do you think it would be better to leave Andaman Express and from Delhi go by Shalimaar Exp along with luggage, also I have 2 tickets in DLI-PTK Express till Pathankot, I have all these extra tickets because I dont know what is going to be the situation. Which train will allow me to take these luggage from Delhi if reloading the same luggage is not possible in Andaman Express. But another hassle is there the last two trains I mentioned leaves from Old Delhi, whereas Andaman Express arrives at New Delhi, so if I am not permitted to reload in Andaman Express, I have to call a truck to transport all luggage to Old delhi at around night 12 AM( that is the approx arrival time of Andaman Express) and book again from Old Delhi(or I can book from New Delhi Station only?) keep the luggage in the platform and take a retiring room or any room till the departure time of the next train of the two, which will allow me to carry luggage along with me.

Please keep few things in mind before booking of any luggage.
#booking from source to any destination where unloading is permitted is best option.
#booking at DLI/NDLS is not a good option. suffering is guaranteed because you are a en route passenger.
#better book from MAS to ****(up to where they are ready to accept ane close to your destination) and

take your re booked luggage in any local/ME train up to your final destination.
#Talk to any leased van holding company if they are ready to book and deliver up to your destination.
#try other train options.

    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...
