7-09-14.. my booking was from BWN n boarding point was JSME (my station) train came a bit late 10min i guess.. i was aiting on PF-2 since 16:45am.. 12369 came at 17:25 with HWH P4.. due to kanwariyas the rush was huge at PF-2.. i thought " Kumbha Express ko Rajdhani kiul tak me pakka Overtake kar legi" later after Kumbha departed i heard the sound of EOG.. as my ticket was on B2 i was almost on the end of PF-2 but i can hear the EOG sound from there.. the white queen HWH P7 was on charge for 12305.. train departed from JSME with good speed.. later almost crawled till PNBE as it was almost 1hrs before n lag raha tha ki 8:30pm tak hi Patna phunch jayegi..
got...
more... breakfast n one water bottle just after boarding.. later soup n bread stick.. food was so so.. Rajdhani me food option choose karne ka option hona chahie.. bekar se khane ke liye itna paisa dena padta hai.. :(
dinner was served before PNBE..
finally arrived at PNBE by 9pm on PF-4.. pas me hi Kumbha Express khadi thi.. jo MGS tak overtake nahin hui.. Rajdhani departed on time n again crawled behind Kumbha till MGS.. ek do baar to speed 26km/h thi.. even got unscheduled halt on many stations like Zamania n Dheena..
i slept after Dheena.. once woken up when train was departing from MGS n again slept till 7am.. jaga to pata chla train 1hrs delay hai.. later got to know ALD hi 1hrs late aayi thi.. means Rajdhani bhi atki Bermuda zone me... :P
well finally train arrived NDLS at 10:40am.. 40min delay hi rahi.. SDAH Rajdhani ka delay 1hrs tha.. even DBRT Rajdhani ka delay 1hrs n kuch min tha.. overall its a good journey.. :)
