Aapli Rajdhani at Platform#18 of Mumbai CSMT.
As of 3:17 P.M. Coaches were closed from inside and Passengers were waiting for them to open in order to board the train.
I genuinely want to travel in this train as soon as possible. This visit was indeed fruitful as I won't be as free as I was today while observing this train when I travel in this train due to luggage.
Saw...
more... 2 Families whose Reservation was in WR Mumbai Rajdhani from Mumbai Central but ended up standing at Mumbai CSMT for CR Mumbai Rajdhani. I realised that some people really don't know about difference of Zones or even Terminals. Sent them packing to Mumbai Central immediately.
Went to a food vendor at the end of the platform, purchased a Cold Coffee. A TTE came there and asked me for my ticket, Showed him my Deccan Queen Vistadome Ticket and told him I'm simply roaming around. Told him about the Rajdhani confusion by Families, both vendor and TTE told me that it's common phenomenon- really surprised me. They also told me that patronage of Rajdhani from Mumbai CSMT is just average, it mostly gets filled at Kalyan. Haven't traveled myself so can't vouch for same.
Checked out interiors thoroughly, I love the Seat Colour in AC 2 Tier. Maintainence is excellent. Charging point available for every seat. Although there are no curtains in any coach which doesn't help during Fierce Sunlight.
Hauled by 2 Dusty Kalyan WAP 7's. Many companies using this train for sending courier. Lots of parcel loading activities at EOG's
Occupancy which I saw myself was somewhat below average. AC 2 were only sparsely filled, so we're AC 3 around 3 coaches were almost empty others only sparsely populated. In AC First 3 Cabins were empty rest all were filled with passengers.
