I was in Kota. I used to regularly go to the Dakaniya Talav Railway station [not much far from where multiple coaching centers are situated] each evening. It was/is an island style station with only 2 lines though only couple of trains including a fast passenger stopped at evening there. I distinctly remember when the coaching holidays were announced, the Kota-Patna Express had gone to WL 300+ on the same day as the reservations opened. It used to run in ICF form back then with much less AC coaches. On the day of the journey,almost the whole train was filled with students only. The locals in the train were telling how generally, this train started half empty from Kota[ in those days] but it was brimming to it's full capacity that day.

Kota when I journeyed there in 2003 was under WR with jurisdiction of WR Mumbai Hqrs stretching right up to outskirts of Mathura junction. Mighty Tuglakabad ELS was its pride and that time kota was heaven for speedier trains who almost always covered their delays and improved punctualities in this section.

For the first time I am hearing a male voice in IR train announcements

Male announcement hai pr bahut hi Rowdy lagta hai yeh style sun ke. Yeh sunke aisa lagta hai ki koi Picture ka hero yeh kar raha hai.
