Falaknuma ka pata nahi par Secunderabad Patna ke liye ek time pe maintenance phenomenal tha.
I used to travel in Sleeper between Secunderabad and Allahabad back when it used to arrive around 01:30 AM at Allahabad Junction. It had midnight timings at Allahabad for both directions.
My First AC experience was in AC 3 Tier of this train in Class 2nd if I remember correctly ЁЯШВ. Had experienced this train when I first started remembering things.
After...
more... this only time I was totally amazed was when I traveled in AC 3 Tier of Prayagraj Express and AC 3 Tier of Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani while transferring to Jamnagar in Class 3rd. Phenomenal Experience, Dettol Liquid Soap in Coach, Carpet like thing near Toilets. Crystal clear and Clean Windows. Crispy White Linen. Breathtaking Experience, still remember seeing Pragati Power Plant through windows while curving towards New Delhi. Never had any experience on that level.
Due to floods that year, Saurashtra Express was cancelled. We had to go for Howrah Porbandar/Okha Express.
