As usual after a trip posting a Trip report-This one is extra loooooooooong so please read it only if you love reading long ones-also this is a bit extra long so posting in parts owing to various events that need mention here
Anyway starting my journey in Part 1:
Reached Bangalore City station at 8:50Pm and entered-platform 1 had a surprise-Sanghamithra looked like it had arrived well before time and coaches switched off and doors closed-didnt see the loco
Platform...
more...

2 again surprise with 12678 missing-A KJM WDP4 and a KJM WDM-3A(Leading) were standing coupled
Platform 3 had the Island, Pf 4 empty, Pf5 a WDM2 of KJM was shunting out the 12609 rake, Pf-6 waiting for 16732 and Pf-7 with WDP-4B hauled Hampi Express
Leaving the crowded Pf-6 came and sat in front of RPF station on Pf-5-announcement were made over wireless to give clearance to Mangalore from Pf-9 and allow golden chariot to pass through-In the pit line ahead was 6 coaches of 12658 the remaining probably waiting for Pantry detachement of its RSa Karnataka
At 9:05Pm ED WDM-3A came as a tiger looking for its prey the eyes glowing in evening light onto PF-6-the 16732 entering the platform ahead of schedule-boarded the B2 coach and occupied the lower berth 52
Given the starter at 9:35PM-opposite to me was a smal boy aged 7 with his mom to whom I granted my LB-WDP4 crossed us with 11013 from LTT as we enetered BNC-We waited for TTE to check tickets before sleeping-a few cockroaches moving about here and there-a common sight not to bother
We soon crossed the BYPL ramp without much hinderance and moved to Bangalore outskirts-TTE came for checking-but surprising was there were pillows and bed sheets-No rugs-No idea why-people predicted it was summer so not given-ok fine
We prepared to sleep as the small boy asked some questions about loco reversals-explained to him and he seemed delighted-we prepared to sleep and he was put on middle berth-time 10:35PM
But there was something waiting for us!!
To be contd......
