Update 30th April 2026 | Bhopal
Chennai - Delhi | TN expressWe are a mere 3 hrs late as per NTES - National Train Enquiry Service - Who also, shamefacedly, say that we will make up time & arrive merely 40 minutes late.
Meanwhle we are at Bhopal , which at this time of the night is nice & cool.
It's a place I liked. Used to be a cool, laid-back city. Studied here over 2 very happy years with lots of fond memories, including of the railway station.

Why trains ?
This slow-mo video is a small glimpse why ?
Door open, hot wind in the face & air) sometimes good smells sometimes not so great smells.
But passing a landscape allows one a good idea of what is there and what is happening.
One can also imagine being in such a landscape.
Note around the 28 second mark a Solar PV panel set up, near a well. Likely a Solar energy based pump.

Part Two (29th and 30th April 2026)
The train. Got on alright, enough space for my luggage
The half bogey I am on has Cabins A to H. This is supposed to have 22 berths. I know for sure G & H is a coupe (2 berths).
F has 4 berths. A to E i am not sure.From when i last traveled some very minor changes.
Bedsheets are pink, a waste basket, better 3 pin sockets (one for each berth). Better switches. Same berths.

Managed to, barely, make it to the station after a fast speaking, rash, distracted uber driver got us lost.Could barely spend time at the station hence blurry pictures on the run.
Train to Delhi , about 34 hours.
In the past, have done this journey many times in almost all classes .
But doing this trip, now, after 8 years
