TRIP HAS ENDED.
Wonderful trip. A different kind of experience of ICE. OBHS staff available but due to rush cleaning was done after Badshahnagar. Arrived a bit late at GD. Freight given priority over train. Water was available in D4. Toilets were clean. Inspite of huge availability , pax boarded reserved coaches with GS tickets. TTE checked tickets only for reserved passengers. Barabanki samosas are a must try. Badshahnagar to LJN is single line up to Aishbagh. Presence of RPF is there. Overall a good experience in what is called Life line of NER by NER railfans. Next trip is LJN-R GR now itself .
