Travelled in this train yesterday, I booked tickets on 1.00 pm and really got the ticket. Train was consistently making 100-120 kmph a rare thing for Special Fare train which i have travelled in my rail travelling. Although the train was 15 min late when departure but consistently it took momentun and reached every station before time, it was amazing experience.
Spotted GOC WDG-3A at villupuram which it was reversing towards PDY-Mangalore Express. Later spotted Vaigai and Pallavan Express with Jam packed, even the crowds were occupying the doors in reserved compartment.
