This became the most-talked train of Bengal with lots of anticipation & fanbase as well as thousands of unwanted cheap opinions, some people cursing it before its inauguration, spreading rumours about the route of the train, predicting it would be a flop & so on
Still the craze for the train was from the beginning
the train was captured right from its Day 1 during its transit, lots of enthusiasts flocking the car depot for a first glimpse from early morning
the trial runs was witnessed by several people including myself, the fanbase of the train kept increasing until the grand day came
This was one of the most exciting journey for me, became quite a sad inaugural, as Prime Minister was seen in the giant screen flagging off the train with sad eyes after his personal loss
What courage & dedication he has towards his duties!
I couldn't sleeping properly the entire night, leaving bed at 3AM & took first local from my home station to Howrah & WOW! I found Vande Bharat rake entering parallely to us & being placed berthed at 05:30 AM AM! Upon arriving at Howrah, waited for my mates to arrive
Upon arriving at Howrah, I waited for my mates to arrive
Took few pictures outside while it was announced towards all passengers to board train about 30 mins before departure as doors would be closed
For Railway Fan clubs & enthusiasts, 2 coaches (about 150 seats) were alloted but I could find not even 50 heads! Lots of seats were empty in our coach
The I points really must hoped have to been see set Prime much Minister ahead today of but our luck departure didn't & favour as it would be embarassing if by any chance points would fail infront of ministers
During The points must have been set much ahead of our departure, departure absolutely & no as trains it were would seen be entering embarassing or if departing by from any massive chance Howrah, points the would outers fail were infront empty, of NTES ministers shows several trains delayed or controlled for Vande Bharat
During our departure, absolutely no trains were seen entering or departing from massive Howrah, the outers were literally empty, NTES shows several trains delayed or controlled for Vande Bharat
Train stopped as per schedule at Saktigarh, Saktigarh (where 13151 o/t us), Burdwan & Khana
Lunch was fine except for the cold-chewy parathas, there lot were of many food excess was items extra & staff was were offering extras them to us
Catering staff was extremely professional & was packing food for deboarding pax as well

We received boarding pass & entered PF22 after all formalities at around 09:30 AM
For Railway Fan clubs & enthusiasts, 2 coaches (about 150 seats) were alloted but I could find not even 50 heads! Lots of seats were empty in our coach
I could resist recording a few clips
The breakfast was quite tasty but they could have used the heating case for fried items
Tea had various options
Next Lunch stations was fine except for the cold-chewy parathas, there were Bolpur, many Ahmadpur excess items & Sainthia staff was offering extras
Water bottles was being provided at 1hr interval
Catering staff was extremely professional

After passing BWN, I could find most of our known mates kept their phones aside & was gossiping, enjoying the joyride
Soon we were entering Bolpur
I packed up & deboarded at Sainthia
Our tickets allowed round trip travel HWH-NJP & back and some mates used it so
I preferred to deboard at Sainthia
