DOJ: June 4, 2022 from SBC to MYS in C1
1. Train arrived RT at SBC.
2. Interiors were little dirty as previous pax left newspaper and food packets on seats, tables. However after Kengeri, the staff came for waste collection and all pax threw it on that.
3. Toilets were clean.
4....
more... Train departed bang on time after 5 min halt at SBC from PF 7
5. One end of coach there are no toilets and this space is made for storing all pantry related stuff.
6. No newspapers were given.
7. 500mL Rail neer was given which was disappointing.
8. In veg food, we got 1 packet of soan papdi, 1 packed curd, tasteless ordinary rice labelled as "Veg Biryani", onion raita, and some tetra pack similar to frooti. Non-veg looked better than this.
9. 2 unscheduled halts along the way. Apart from that, it was satisfying 100 mps run.
10. No discount in current booking.
11. Staff didn`t asked for tips
12. 5 min BT arrival as MYS at PF#1
13. Felt cooling was not upto mark and it was strong sunlight outside.
14. I didn`t saw anyone using touchscreens in Anubhuti coach so I assume that they were not in working condition.
15. As a railfan, found this journey much better than MYQ-BLR Alliance air flight which costs 1400 for tickets alone.
16. Food was same on E1 and E2. Only difference was seats were 2-2 and the seat pitch was more than enough. Suitable for elders and people needing to stretch their legs.
17. No one bothered to wear masks.
18. Coach condition looked ordinary from outside but okay on inside.
