Some Pictures of Udyan Express Trip made on 7th October 2021. First Trip in Normal Mail/Superfast LHB Train
Maintainence was below average, Toilet flush had low flowing water through out journey. Taps were similar to what we see at platforms. Had to forcibly use 1A Washroom and even that had big maintenance issues.
Train was late at Pune Junction by 1 Hour, was late at Daund by 1 hour 45 minutes, maintained some delay at Solapur and reached Wadi 20 minutes before time ЁЯШВЁЯШВ.
Then...
more... whole reaching before time тЮбя╕П getting controlled at outers тЮбя╕П getting delayed due to excessive control тЮбя╕П using slack to reach before time ЁЯФБ Repeat Saga Started. ЁЯШВ
OBHS were seen only one during entire time just before Kurduvadi.
Surprisingly Kurduvadi Junction had excellent patronage, many passengers from my coach traveling there. Saw many people deboarding from other Coaches. Shows the fire need of Daytime Premium Intercity between Mumbai and Solapur.
Toilets were cleaned in Solapur thoroughly but after that everything went for a toss.
Took 2 hours to reach Bengaluru City Junction from Yelahanka ЁЯШВ
This train has the potential to be excellent but NCB should seriously raid the offices of those who made it's time table. ЁЯШВ
