18636/Sasaram - Ranchi Intercity Express If the expansion of the Sasaram Ranchi Express goes up to Rourkela, passengers will benefit a lot. The train arrives in Ranchi at 10:30 am and stays there until the evening. If the extension of this train is done till Rourkela, it will depart from Ranchi at 10:40 am and reach Rourkela by 1:15 pm. And if the return journey starts at 2:15 or 2:25 pm from there, it will comfortably reach Ranchi by 5:15 pm. And if possible, sleeper coaches should be added to benefit the railway further. I request that this suggestion be considered.

18636/Sasaram - Ranchi Intercity Express Sasaram Ranchi Express ka extend agar Rourkela hui toh travelers ko bhari fayda milega. Is train ka Ranchi mein pahunchne ka samay 10:30 am hai aur wahin khadi rahti hai shaam tak. Agar is train ka extend Rourkela tak kiya jaye to 10:40 mein Ranchi se chalegi to 1:15 pm tak Rourkela pahunch jayegi. Aur wahan se vaapsi ka samay 2:15 ya 2:25 pm mein wahin se chalegi to apne samay 5:15 pm tak Ranchi mein aaram se pahunch jayegi. Aur agar mumkin ho sake to sleeper coach laga diya jaye tak railway ko aur faayeda ho jaye. Meri vinati hai ki is sujhao par soch jaaye.

If ya wanna chill and explore Mumbai at your own pace instead of rushing with those Mumbai tours, peep this. (Started from CST).
Day 1. South Mumbai (Gateway of India, Marine drive, Museum, Elephanta caves)
Right outside CST, there's a BEST (Mumbai transport service) bus stand. From there:
Bus no. 111 - Headin' to Gateway of India (final stop), comes every 5-10 mins. Fare - Rs 5.
From Gateway, catch a ferry to Elephanta caves for about 150-200 bucks (round trip) dependin' on the boat you choose. There's also ferries goin' to Alibaug.
Once you've checked these places out, head back out the Gateway from where you came. Go straight and you'll hit SP Mukherjee Chowk. Cross over to the other side and you'll be in front of Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Museum (pretty cool spot).
Then grab any bus (I suggest 108, 111) back to CST.
In the evening, hop on Bus no. 108 to Kamla Nehru Park (fare - Rs 15). Check out the hanging gardens, hop back on the same bus to Chowpatty & Marine Drive. Have a blast in the evening and head back to CST on bus no. 108 or head to your hotel, your call.
DAY 2 (Siddhivinayak, Bandra)
Better go early mornin' to Siddhivinayak to dodge the long line. I usually go around 6 AM.
Take a local train from CST and get off at Dadar. Use the FOB and head to Dadar West. From the Flower Market (right as you step down from FOB) you can find shared cabs to Siddhivinayak (fare Rs. 10).
If you go early morning, head back to your hotel after darshan & wait till around 10:30-11 AM (avoid the rush hour). At 11 AM, catch a local (specifically Bandra Terminating local) from CST. Once you get to Bandra, move towards the west side. You can find shared autos and Bus no. 211 (final stop is Bandra Fort/Father Agnel Ashram, get a ticket till there, fare - Rs 5). Go see Band Stand, Bandra Fort, peep the Sea Link, film stars' pad. Head back to CST and relax. In the evening, you can catch a sunset at Marine Drive or do some shopping in South Bombay (up to you).
Day 3 (Juhu Beach, Film City, Haji Ali)
Get on bus no. 28 from CST (outside the bus stand), will drop you at Juhu Beach. Enjoy the mornin' (you might spot some celebs there). Take a local train to Goregaon from Vile Parle station, then take an auto to Film City. There's a 2 hr guided tour (rs 600) to see the famous spots. Come back to Goregaon and catch a CST local.
In the evening, hop on bus no. 28 and head to Haji Ali Dargah and if you have time, you can also stop at Cumbala Hill Post Office bus stop (for the National Museum of Indian Cinema) on the way back.
These are the main spots I've hit. Plenty more places you can check out with Mumbai's public transport system.

Agar tu Mumbai ko apne pace se dekhna chahta hai aur jaldi mein nahi, tab yeh rasta hai. (Maine CST ko base banaya hai).
Day 1. South Mumbai (Gateway of India, Marine Drive, Musuem, Elephanta Caves)
CST ke bahar, BEST (Mumbai transport service) bus stand hai. Wahan se:
Bus no. 111 - Gateway of India ke liye (last stop), har 5-10 mins mein available hai. Fare - Rs 5.
Gateway se elephanta caves ke liye ferry mil jayegi jiska cost boat/deck ke type ke hisab se 150-200 (round trip) hai. Alibaug ke liye bhi ferry service hai.
Inhe explore karne ke baad, gateway se wapas exit karna jahan se enter kiya tha. Seedha chal. SP Mukherjee Chowk tak pahunch jayoge. Dusri taraf cross karke, Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj Museum ke samne aaoge. (Dekhne layak).
Phir koi bhi bus le lo (preferably 108, 111) CST ke liye.
Shaam mein, Kamla Nehru Park ke liye Bus no. 108 le lo (fare - Rs 15). Hanging Gardens dekho aur fir wahi bus le lo chowpatty aur Marine Drive ke liye. Shaam ka aanand leke wapas CST ya hotel ja sakte ho jaise marzi ho.
DAY 2 (Siddhivinayak, Bandra)
Lambi line se bachne ke liye subah jaldi darshan prefer karo. Main usually 6 baje darshan kar leta hoon.
CST se local pakdo aur Dadar pe utro. FOB leke Dadar west ki taraf niklo. Flower market se (jab FOB se utarte ho) siddhivinayak ke liye shared cabs mil jayegi (fare Rs. 10).
Agar subah jaldi gaye ho, toh darshan ke baad hotel wapas jaake 10:30-11 baje tak wait karo (peak hours se bachne ke liye). 11 baje CST se local pakdo (preferably Bandra Terminating local) aur Bandra pahunchne ke baad phir se west ki taraf exit karo. Shared autos milenge aur Bus no. 211 bhi milegi (last stop bandra fort/father agnel ashram tak ticket lo, fare - Rs 5). Band Stand, Bandra Fort, Sea Link, Film stars ke banglow/flats dekho. Fir CST wapas aa jao aur araam karo. Shaam ko sunset dekhne ke liye Marine Drive ja sakte ho ya south Bombay mein shopping bhi kar sakte ho (apni pasand).
Day 3 (Juhu Beach, Film City, Haji Ali)
CST se Bus no. 28 leke jao (bus stand ke bahar), Juhu Beach pe pahunch jayega. Subah ka maza lo (kuch film stars bhi dikhe sakte hain). Vile Parle station se Goregaon ke liye local leke jao aur fir filmcity ke liye auto pakdo. Wahan 2 ghante ka guided tour hai (Rs 600) jo tumhe famous spots dikhayega. Goregaon wapas aake CST local lelo.
Shaam ko, bus no. 28 pakdo aur Haji Ali Dargah jaao aur agar time hai toh pehle Cumbala Hill Post Office Bus Stop (National Museum of Indian Cinema ke liye) jaake dargah dekh lo.
Ye bade spots hain jo maine cover kiye hain. Aur bhi jagah hai jo Mumbai ke public transport system se accessible hain.

This train is dope, man! I rode 1st class from CST to Nizamuddin on June 8, 2022 & here's the lowdown:
1. Punctuality - A tad late at Jalgaon, Gwalior, but on time at Nizamuddin. 5/5
2. Railfanning - Started with Thull ghats & ended with tons of overtakes the next morning. So much fun. 5/5
3. Cleanliness & Maintenance - Top-notch. Totally clean inside and out. Washrooms stayed spotless throughout the journey. 5/5
4. Food - Absolutely delicious. They offer Jain food for dinner & breakfast too. In 1st class, you can customize your meal like a boss. Snacks include sandwiches, samosas, tea/coffee, and more. Dinner - rice, chapati, dal, paneer, veggies, curd, pickle. Breakfast - cornflakes, toast, eggs, tea/coffee. Almost perfect, could've used better dal. 4.8/5
5. Staff - Super friendly & didn't even ask for tips. 5/5
Overall, great train for 1st or 2nd class. Met expectations & then some. No complaints, all praise! 🙌👏👏👏👏

Yeh toh sach mein best mein se ek hai. 8th June 2022 ko CST se Nizamuddin tak 1ac mein travel kiya & mera observations:-
1. Time samjhne wale - thoda late tha Jalgaon, Gwalior pe but Nizamuddin pe time pe/reasonable late. 5/5
2. Rail deewano ke liye - Start Thull ghats se & subah tak multiple overtakes. Maja hi aa gaya. 5/5
3. Safai aur Maintainance - Top class. Damn good. Chahe 2ac ho ya 1ac, super clean exterior, interior, washrooms. Har meal ke baad, cabin saaf kiya gaya. Washrooms destination tak clean rahe (both 1st & 2nd ac). 5/5
4. Khana - Mast tha. Jain food bhi available tha dinner & breakfast mein. 1ac mein, agar regular food nahi chahiye to apna choice bata sakte ho. Jaise paneer bhurji/paneer chilly matar paneer ki jagah, aalu jeera mix veg ki jagah. Khao jitna mann kare, sath mein ice cream bhi (vanilla flavor, kismat aazmao kuch aur flavor mil jaye. Mene puchne pe butter scotch mila) & so jao chilled cabin mein.
Snacks - sandwich, samosa, soan-cake, chai /coffee, roasted almonds
Dinner - Rice, Chapati, Dal, Matar Paneer, Mix veg, Curd, Pickle (requirements ke anusar badli ja sakti hai)
B/F - Cornflakes, Bread butter, cutlets/omlette/upma/poha (poha jain ke liye bhi available), chai/coffee 4.8/5 (daal thoda behtar ho sakta tha, baki sab acha tha)
5. Staff - Bahut polite, no - nonsense staff. Smile ke sath attend aur serve kar rahe the. Kisi bhi tips ke liye nahi bolte the. OBHS digitally feedback lete the. 5/5
Overall ek bahut acchi train hai 1st ac ya 2ac mein yatra ke liye (khana alag hoga par baki sab almost same hoga)
Umeedein toh acchi thi & yeh train unhe puri bhi kar diya. Koi shikayat nahi, Koi pachtava nahi.. 🙌👏👏👏👏
