Hi all,
i traveled in 15662 from KYQ TO ASN on 28th nov,,,first all the tickets were in wl..Later booked a SL ticket from KYQ TO MLDT and another from MLDT TO ASN which i got cnf tickets in both the cases and had to purchase two tickets..,booked tatkal in 3ac got wl4,,,but my bad luck it was wl2 and the chart was prepared..Somehow next day boarded in sl coach...went to tte of ac class as soon the train departed KYQ,,the tte asked to come after NBQ as he will be getting down in APDJ...went back to my sl coach..30 mins after departure of the train it was dangerous experience i had the coach was almost touching the ground,,the stones of...
more... the track was been crushed by the coach all the passengers were very scared including me...Reached GLPT 5 mins early,,,Few hawkers were selling food and other things like pen drive,power banks,etc.I had packed my lunch(chowmein)before i left from my hotel...Had my lunch..suddenly the train was stopped for 15 mins in MZQ,,,later i went to the gate of other side saw 02511 PUNE - KYQ spl...the reason for the stop was because the stn master had to go in 15662 till NBQ so the signal was not given to my train(MADE RAILWAYS there home property)..reached NBQ ,,after it departed from NBQ went again to ask the tte in ac class .when i found him ,he was surrounded by crowd for seats,,,the train had a huge demand and they should have probably increase the frequency or adding extra coaches and 2ac coaches are deeply needed..all others were traveling with family or they were in a group.He said i can only manage 1 single seat till DGR,,i said give me that,,but he was confused that i have one ticket till MLDT and one from MLDT till ASN,,both have different PNR,,and he cant give the ticket till ASN in 3 ac...Later i asked him to the ticket which i have till MLDT extend it DGR and upgrade my journey,,,he was not sure is it possible,he called some other tte and cnfrmed and he said ok,,but he said after DGR go to SL coach..i assured its a 1 hour journey and i can easily managed...He agred,later he was asking for bribe as well...i denied it so he also denied to give me seat...He asked 1600 including bribe including the upgrade and extension which was 1100..i said take 1600 and give me a seat in ac class,,he finally gave me a SL seat,,,when i reached my berth one old lady was sleeping there she requested me to move UB which was allocated to her in the next cabin,,,the next cabin there were two family with huge extra luggage,later i asked that lady that i am keeping my luggage there...i ordered food from NJP via e catering,,,there was a couple who said that be aware of the luggage as this is route is not safe specially in night...Finally NJP arrived 10 mins late i went to my sl coach to get my order ,,the delivery boy was standing there,,i showed the OTP and the order was delivered to me,,,Then there was shouting came to ears catch him catch him,,people caught a pick pocket-er ,,this guy snatched a bag of lady somehow people caught him...i quickly went to my coach to check my luggage...i was relaxed to see my luggage were safe,,,but their was mess happened in the cabin i moved,,out of the two families who were carrying extra luggage one of the bags went missing that too as per them there were baby foods and dresses for their baby,,,it was really painful for the as the kid was crying,,,the train was standing for almost 1 hr in NJP....but when i woke up in DGR the train was running on time,,but it was announced that while the going towards RNC it will again stop in ANDAL...and it will be running via diverted route because of work going on that route,,there was no passenger who came to claim my seat so i sat there till ASN,,,it reached ASN 5 min early....even the coach attendant said if the train gets even delay by 1 hr till MLDT it will cover up....but however it was another experience of traveling....
