Choose to take a UR ticket, thought that there will be no much rush.Decided to enter in the front UR coach..was welcomed by the passengers from North ,who find there income here...!! Entered in the 1st Deen Dayalu UR coach and got an emergency right window seat...pretty happy with it, as a railfan.
But sadly the coaches were very dirty...the food wastes occupied the floors of the coach!!and had bad
