Very useful tip.
The Bridge is well lit even during the wee-hours and has railings to hold on to.
There are ramps on the bridge in the middle but no ramp is available at the entry and exit points. It takes approximately 15 mins via this bridge to get to BDTS from Khar Road if you walk at a medium pace.

can also see the Bandra Terminus Trip shed on the way to spot some locos.

The best mode to get to Bandra Terminus is by this skywalk from Khar Road.

The so-called premium Duronto Express encountered significant operational issues when its WAP-7 locomotive failed near Ghaziabad. After reaching Dadri, a WAG-9 was substituted, limiting the train's speed to 100 km/h despite the section's 130 km/h capability. The train was repeatedly moved to loop lines at smaller stations, leading to at least 15 other trains overtaking it, including the Farakka Express. It's particularly concerning that, despite Ghaziabad being a major hub with one of the largest electric loco sheds in the country, an alternative WAP-7 could not be provided.

WAG9 is also Capable of Hauling trains to 130 kmph but isn't cleared by RB for such operations, Seriously don't know why not dont yet? Its a complete undertilization of Resources, if RB knows that Passenger locos are heavily burdened then Goods loco should be cleared for 130 kmph for rescue purposes

New connection from Bengaluru to kaveri delta and Trichy,now extension done to Puducherry!

This is not meant for end to end pax , it's for serving the en route stations , few smaller stations have been added too!!

Extension to PDY for alternative connection!!....may not be first preference but a good connection nevertheless!

Alternative to 16232/1 which runs jampacked!

Thanks!

PS slightly slow TT due to single line in entire run!

2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
