Very soon , the slowest train of Mumbai to Kolkata soon to be LHBfied. Brand new 2022 Manufactured SER marked LHB rakes (Manufactured in ICF Chennai) of 3E coaches parked at loop line of my home station. Hope it will be speeded up as soon as possible.
But one thing I noticed, still Pune Howrah Azad Hind express not given LHB stock although it desires much. Any idea on this?

- Lucknow SF Express (Via Perambur).

After deboarding my regular EMU local at Avadi, I see some express train standing at Platform 4. I thought it will be Alappuzha Dhanbad looped for overtake by SBC MAS Double Decker but interestingly I found this train. Finally overtaken by Inspection car "Parekh" at 120 kmph(see last pic). But I can't take more pics as my Amma called me to reach home soon.

When I found this train was going for Lucknow, immediately I remember the lyrics of " Dil Mein Dastarkhwan bichaya Dawat - E - Ishq hai...." Link : click here (from Dawat E Ishq film (2014)by Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapoor because while returning to home in EMU I heard this song on Spotify 2-3 times and I mesmerized by that song 🥰😍

If this train gets halt at my station on regular basis (as Avadi is famous of HVF, OCF, IAF where majority North Indians were there, RB should take action also)I can get a chance of visiting Lucknow and I want to try Awadhi cuisine and want to know about culture of Ganga Jamuna Tehzeeb there.... One of my Muslim friend is also in Lucknow....

For your views....

I never ever missed this train being unnoticed while my up and down journey from Avadi to Stanley Hospital. My EMU bound for Velachery(departs at 7:05 AM in Avadi) used to overtake this train at Vyasarpadi crossing. This train had become one of my favourite train for RF ing.

Spotted this train while traveling in Emu local at Avadi outers when my train was waiting for signal. Coaches of this train are not maintained properly and SL coaches are looking dirty and pathetic and able to detect bad smell in air from toilets. Also old ICF wheels making too much noise while running (I think due to poor lubrication of bearings) which may cause fire due to friction if not noticed properly. SR should take notice and give LHB must as soon as possible as coaches are looking old. The train was moving fast so that I couldn't able to take pics properly sorry for that. Also it's RSA partner MAS Allapuzha express requires LHB stock as soon as possible. What's your opinions on this?

had travelled in MAS AJJ EMU with brand new 2023 rake. In interiors it almost looks like same Bombardier type EMU locals running in Mumbai side. But when I observe outside, I found WBL type panthographs (WBL type panthographs are usually used in WAP7/WAP5 locos travelling in High raised sections like WDFC, Mahesana Palanpur Marwar Ajmer Ringas Rewari Gurgaon section) but for the first time an EMU rake having this type of pantho although no tracks in South Don't neither have HR panthographs nor have any DFC s. (Pics 7-8) Anyone explain this.
