Travel to Tirupati

Traveled from Coimbatore to Tirupati by Kovai-Tirupati express on 17th March'2015.Dilapidated coach & ramshackle seats notwithstanding the journey was comfortable.The air conditioning was quite effective and charging sockets were available to the delight of Smartphone users.We had carried packed food - sandwiches for breakfast and lemon/curd rice for lunch - yummy.Dep:6.00 am/Arr:1.40 pm.Do not know why coaches condemned from premium trains are relegated to subsidiary routes like this one.Chittoor station looked neat and sparkling though.These pictures were clicked at Chittoor station:

    Nice clicks at the Chittor Station - to find charging points in trains are a great relief indeed!

    Where are the customary litter and spittoons?It does not look like a station I am accustomed to.
    Heartening to witness the change.

    Long train journeys seem to characterize many great Indian adventures. Hope you had a great one.

    Dilapidated coach & ramshackle seats, quite the description.

    Nice to see clean stations. But most coaches are old and dirty. They don't allow increase in fares, then how can improvement happen.
