Yesterday I did a journey in mainline superfast ( mahal ) which was pleasant <br />Floors ,washbasins are neat toilets are ok, ...
more... coaches have healthy sound effects <br />But we are satisfied got wdg3a for this train, As a regular p7 traveller in ms vm section ,u can't experience continuous mps and acceleration in this train, But the interesting thing is lp made 1:15 hr run btw cgl to vm outer with speed range of (80-95) and some places hits 100 max<br />We have been made halt of 20 mins at vm<br /> But wdg 3a had really did a awesome performance on mainline (vm tj), means this loco suits here , out of 5 crossing in ml ,mahal was given priority in 4 crossings,the very first crossing with karaikal exp at thiruthuraiyur we have got looped with a good entry of 30 kph, similarly looped entry at cdm also 30kph seems tpj divn has done good upgrade in tracks , the next crossing was mannai at panruti ,boatmail at tdpr ,cape pdy at alapakkam ,chendur at titte . In all these cases mahal as a superfast was given priority to skip and stop on station mainline.. E.g. our train was purposely slowed down at varakalpet to make the legend boat mail to looped halt at tdpr though it is not a stop for that train, similarly happened for panruti ,titte crossing ,this tells abt tpj divn controllers striving hard to keep this train on time <br />Though vm tdpr took an hour run by 3 crossings , the delay overcame in cupj cdm mv tj sections ,train did a majestic run after alapakkam crossing <br /> I can see 40% in ur deboarded at mv ,20% at kmu until none(cgl-tdpr) have boarded ur at all, in tj ur deboarding was around 15 but many boarded(40-50 in 2UR) for tpj to mdu,this telles how delta uses this biweekly train,finally it was 6:25 hr journey time (with 20 mins halt at vm ,25 trolled at vm outer) as a whole its a good <br />One small suggestion is we can give e loco run from Ms to vm since they are making this train to halt atleast for 25 mins so better we can use that time for LC , and if you want to take a seat in Ur come around 8 pm, train is kept readily on pf 2<br />Have a nice day......
