Don't know for other stations as I haven't deposited my luggage at cloak room of other stations recently,except at BSB..At BSB,I was forced to go outside the station with my luggage in the search for Xerox machines..So,it will be quite useful for passengers coming here at BSB to keep Xerox copies of ID with them in advance.

Plz bring a small ladder if you need to board AC coaches of Shramjeevi Express 12391. Platform length is that much short. AC coaches are out of platform no.4
Ridiculous. I hope this TIP will help passengers of AC class.
