Pictures of my Yesterday trip from Utkrisht 16094 Lucknow MAS Express from Kanpur Central to Jhansi. The train is completely converted into an utkrisht rake (just change in coach colour to be honest). Pantry Car and on board catering has been recently introduced in the train which serve Water bottles, Samosa, Packed foods(Biscuits, Namkeen, Salted Peanuts, Cakes, Wafers), Apple and Mango juice, Tea, and Whole Thali in dinner, with Veg Biryani and Pulao.
Though because of Corona not much people bought the food and preferred the home cooked meals.

more... The seats were completely filled, even the general was filled up, I booked a current availability ticket at 1500pm which costed me 170(when booked via paytm). 5 seats were left in SL, 20 in 3A, 10 in 2A.
I reached Kanpur Central at 17.50 Train had already arrived because of which I failed to spot the loco it departed RT at 18.05.
With smooth and slow run upto Bhimsen it got delayed upto 30 minutes. Which couldn't be cocered till end.
Later being single line from Pokhrayan to Orai, and continuous Trolling by 15066 Gorakhpur Panvel Express which was already running 2 hours late, made this train late too.
Though it enjoyed a great speed between Pokhrayan-Kalpi and Chirgaon-Jhansi sections. But because of regular trolling around Orai it got late upto an hour.
But never the less it covered it time by arriving Jhansi at 22.30 at platform no.2 The coaches were shining bright in brilliant platform light.
