-NO PRIOR ANNOUNCEMENT of TRAIN ARRIVAL. I asked vendors and they said to got PF 2/3. I saw train entering PF2 @04:30 and then came the announcement.

-A-1 coach is old August Kranti coach (old one with name plate near the gate outside, time table of rajdhani written near door inside). 2AC is very boring for solo travellers while 3rd AC can feel a bit crowded. Even the lower berth occupants are always sleeping with their curtains drawn, very inconvenient to ask them to make place for upper berth occupants to sit.(socialisation skills come to play for sure).
A2 is Duranto livery and B-1 having cameras near gates.
- Ladder support is highly inconvenient for ladies and old age people.
-Multiple CHAIN PULLINGs near Bayana, Hindaun...
-With WAP-7 leading, I found my coach neat and clean without seat numbers written on berths(just illuminated board above the pathway. Washrooms okay with folding doors)
_Train sighting @BRC: Tejas Mumbai rajdhani, Felhi-Mumbai Garib Rath with Duranto livery, Bandra-Barauni AWADH express....
please wait...Translate to EnglishAfter like almost a whole year, I'm back riding the Bandra-Ghazipur express, this time from Baroda to Kanpur.
- Finally cleared RLWL1 from VADODARA. Passed out soon as I hit my bunk, woke up 10 hours later.
-No heads up on the TRAIN ARRIVAL. Asked the vendors, they pointed me to PF 2/3. Saw the train roll in at PF2 @ 04:30 and then the announcement came.
-The A-1 coach is a classic August Kranti one (old school vibes with the nameplate at the door outside, Rajdhani timetable inside). 2AC can get pretty dull when you're riding solo, while 3rd AC can feel a tad cramped. The folks on the lower berth always got their curtains drawn, tough luck asking them to scoot over for the upper berth crew to chill (social skills gotta kick in, man). A2 is rocking the Duranto look and B-1's got those cameras by the doors.
-Those ladder supports are a pain for the ladies and the elderly.
-Loads of dudes keep yanking the emergency chain near Bayana, Hindaun...
-With a WAP-7 in the lead, my coach was all tidy with no seat numbers, just lit boards above the aisle. Washrooms were alright, with the foldable doors.

please wait...Translate to HindiSaal baad, Bandra-Ghazipur express mein fir se safar kar raha hoon, is baar Baroda se Kanpur.
- VADODARA se RLWL1 finally clear ho gaya. Main berth mein enter karte hi so gaya aur 10 ghante baad utha.
- TRAIN ARRIVAL ka koi pehle se announcement nahi tha. Vendors se pucha toh unhone bola ki PF 2/3 jao. Mainne train ko PF 2 mein 04:30 baje dekha aur phir announcement hui.
- A-1 coach purana August Kranti coach hai. 2AC akela safar karne walo ke liye bohot boring hai jabki 3rd AC thoda bhari mahsoos hoti hai. Neeche wale berth wale hamesha parday bandh karke so rahe hote hain, unse seat ke liye jagah maangna bohot mushkil hota hai. A2 Duranto livery hai aur B-1 ke pass gate ke paas cameras hain.
- Ladies aur old age ke liye ladder support bohot inconvenient hai.
- Bahut saare CHAIN PULLING Bayana, Hindaun ke paas.
- WAP-7 lead ho raha tha, meri coach clean thi. Seat numbers berth pe nahi likhe the, bas illuminated board thaa. Washrooms thik thak the jinme folding doors the.
