2909 Garib Rath

On 23.3 took this train from Borivali to Nizamuddin Delhi. The dep time 1736 is convenient for catching up some work in the western suburbs. This is a damn fast paisa vasool train, rivals Rajdhani in speed. Makes it to Surat by 8pm and Baroda by 9:45pm.

The grub from the pantry is so so. The best bet is food from the platform stalls at Baroda where it has a longish halt.

I made this journey by chair car which is not as bad as the other Garib Raths running on Konkan Railway. The one disturbing thing is that the bright lights are kept on throughout the night.

It chugs into Nizamuddin around 10am and one can catch up quite a bit of work same day in Delhi.
