Continuing with return trip...
Sorry for late posting.
Actually, our trip was not planned so we don't even hav return tickets.... We want to come on 27 Jan by kutch exp (19132) hence we try for tatkal on 26 morning. We told one friend in Mumbai to try for tatkal online. But rush was so heavy dat, ck quota got booked in less den a minute so we didn't get reservation. We continue with our trip & forget about it. Next day, we on our own try for karnavati exp tatkal from ADI...
more... to BCT for 28 Jan (2S) & we got confirmed ticket. At that time, I dont know dat karnavati runs with LHB coaches.
On 27, we board kutch exp general coach from Bhuj. Condition of coach was very bad. Floor was wet & not clean. Seats were not in good condition. Half broken window, cockroaches, bad smell, uncleaned toilets add to this list. We dont worry much bcoz, we only hav to travell till Ahemdabad. Train arrived at ADI on time & climate at ADI was very chilled. We all were hungry so start searching food at 3.00 AM! But we couldn't find fresh food at ADI. We have enough time, so we went outside but nothing was available except egg omlet but we couldn't eat as we all are pure vegetarian. Hence,we ended up eating chips & biscuits for our dinner. Soon after sometime, karnavati exp arrives & what we see that it was LHB coach. Coach is nicely designed & all needs were taken care of while designing this coach. Leg space, designing, pushback seats, charging points, well maintained toilets, good pantry facility all were superb. Only negative point I found for this train is that , it daily reach late at BCT. We get down at Borivli station at 12.30 & this is how our memorable trip comes to an end. Trip was unplanned & that too during long weekends. Three days were full of fun, feeling blessed & superawesome.
This is my first full lenge trip report on IRI. Hope u njoy it.
