I don't tag the locos intentionally because I am not going add them as loco pictures

If I tag them and leave it (without adding them as loco pictures), then somebody will update them as loco pictures without my permission. This happened in the past. So I stopped tagging locos

Condition of tap in AC coach the train. 🤦🤦

Two things he clearly mentioned
1. ICF coaches are too old and in bad condition inspite of the maintenance staff working hard to clean and maintain the train ICF coaches are starting to show their age and he clearly says LHB coaches are badly needed in...

this train.
2. No proper food served by the side pantry. He points out a train travelling 41 hours journey 4 days a week needs a pantry car it's surprising why it's not given.

He says he's lucky his journey is only upto UBL and not any further.

Also this train is the only connectivity from West Bengal to Goa. People from North East too prefer it as there's no connectivity for them to Goa. A lot of migrants from North East, West Bengal and Odisha use this train and for then it's the only rail connectivity.
