travelled by this train yesterday in 3A. Was dearly hoping for an Upgradation as i was i first person 2 book 3A ticket in this train (booked 2 months ago).
Anyhow, it departed from PF-2 in YPR with WDP-4, PF-1 had Ajmer exp, PF-3 had Rajya Rani/Bagalkot exp, PF-4 had incoming Bagalpur exp with LGD WAP-4, PF-5 had incoming Wainganga with Kjm WDM.
Journey went well til Oddarahalli, where it stopped for crossing with BZA-YPR pass which had GTL WDM + KJM WDP combo. My train was made to stop for a full...
more... 20mins. Then gained speed, ripped apart Makalidurga station where KSK was waitin for us. Hindupur reached at 18:20, & departed within 1min. Then again halted at Malugur for LTT-CBE exp which truly ripped apart at 100KMPH. Then arrived at Penukonda Jn at 19:10. There was a huge consignment of Electric Poles which would be erected for electrification at Penukonda.
Then did door-plating upto SSPN but could not notice any tunnel (some1 from IRI had posted before) :-( Stopped at SSPN for 10 mins.
Then reached DMM at 20:05 with a late of 20mins on PF-1. there was a twin Shakti goods train beside PF-3 track. By then my dinner had come, so had it. ATP arrived at 20:40 . T
