If your coach is having passengers going to deboard at Adra, you will get breakfast only after departing Adra. It's ridiculous. I lodged a complaint today and staffs apologized.

Didn't get you. Colonial language means local sense of mutual understanding. In almost whole of India nowadays, we call it "Toto". They were getting very popular in eastern India from 2013-14 for the sake of their low cost and pollution free transport. Presently, dominates the market.

This is the only feasible Digha bond train for the people of South Bengal.
At Adra, this train links for 12828/PRR-HWH EXP. If you're traveling from Purulia or Anara, get yourself an Mail Express ticket and not a SF one in UTS, ATVM or in counter. TTE onboard 12828 will allow you for the change over.
Running just behind 12828, the coaches doesn't get over congested by KGP bond passengers. Overwhelmingly, expect to arrive MDN 15-20 mins before time.( It's a Mail.:0 :0)

by a 10 minutes BT at KGP too. LP & Guard is changed there.
After KGP, this honks high till Nandakumar PH where it meets with the furious HWH bond Tamralipta Exp. 5 mins waiting⏳. Welcome to Tamluk-Digha section! Wait, there's more. Chugging goes silent like lunch break at Deshparan PH where it will patiently wait 20-30 mins⌛for 68690/DGHA-MCA EMU. You will feel annoyed. Well nothing to do other than exploring the little station as many times as you can.
Departed Deshparan? Great! Grab back your seat to witness the greenery of rural Bengal passing the twisty turns through Cashew and Salt manufacturing units. Did I mention that you will get to see the most number of rivers of your journey in this section? Refresh yourself with mother nature.
Kanthi: Hey, you're 25 mins. late!🕐
13506: Have some control over your 68690 EMU.😒😒
Kanthi: 😎 See ya, next week!
Feel the cool breeze of the flat lands. Digha is just on horizon.
1:20 PM and the home signal goes green to platform no. 1. The accumulated frustration of a 8 hrs long unreserved journey fades to mark completion of pure joy and energy till hotel in the planned coastal town of DSDA. Enjoy Digha!🏖️
