Visiting Mumbai once again!!! It was something that I was direly looking forward to! I did not actually go into Mumbai, but went upto Thane. Here is some titbits from the trip

The Bangalore-Thane trip was by 1014 Coimbatore-LTT Express. The train left Bangalore delayed by over 2 hours, and reached Thane with almost the same delay. The delay had risen upto 4 hours enroute - overall a well delayed trip! The loco was WDP4 #20057 which took me all the way from Bangalore to Thane, and my coach was WGACCW 95052 (A1).The Coach had an underslung AC equipment which made a hell lot of noise and vibrated heavily! The pantry was a disappointment as compared to my last journey on the train! (More on this would come later)

The Thane-Bangalore trip was done in two parts. The first one was Thane-Pune, and the second was Pune-Yeswantpur. The first half was on the Indrayani Express, while the second part was on the Karnataka Sampark Kranti Express. It was WDM3A #14084 of Krishnarajapuram that worked my train from PUNE to YPR. I was booked in 2A, but got upgraded to 1A free of cost! My coach was WGFACCW 04027 based at YPR. More on this trip too would be posted soon
