Описание: Puri to Kolkata Train Journey in General Coach |18410 Sri Jagannath Express | Puri to Shalimar Train

This was my first experience in General Class train journey, hope you all will enjoy this journey.

This video chronicles a train journey from Puri to Shalimar (Kolkata) in a general coach on the 18410 Sri Jagannath Express (0:58). The vlogger, Raj, explains that he had to opt for a general class ticket as sleeper and AC three-tier tickets were unavailable (1:06-1:18). The ticket fare for this journey was ₹165 (1:22).

Key highlights of the journey:
Initial Impressions: Raj notes that this is his first time traveling alone in a general class coach (0:05-0:15, 1:33-1:44), anticipating a challenging experience due to difficulties in finding a seat and general discomfort (1:47-1:57).
Train Details: The train, Sri Jagannath Express, departs from Puri station at 10:42 PM, only two minutes behind schedule (5:27-5:42). The total distance from Puri to Shalimar is about 500 km, expected to take approximately 9 hours (6:44-6:50). The train's maximum speed is 106 km/h, with an average of 98 km/h (6:56-7:00).
Coach Observations: The general compartment has charging ports (3:23-3:27) and overhead racks for luggage (4:49-4:52). Raj notes that while the washbasin area is clean, the toilet flushes often lack water (0:31-0:38, 3:52-4:00, 4:16-4:23).
Journey Experience: As the journey progresses, the coach becomes increasingly crowded (8:25-8:30, 9:33-9:45), making it difficult to move around or sleep comfortably (8:02-8:12, 10:09-10:19). Raj emphasizes the importance of carrying your own water bottle, as vendors are scarce (7:40-7:50, 11:55-12:17).
Delays: The train experiences significant delays, arriving at Bhubaneswar 20 minutes late (8:41-8:55), at Kharagpur 44 minutes late (13:22-13:31), and at Santragachi 1 hour and 15 minutes late (14:32-14:57).
Arrival: The train finally arrives at Shalimar Junction at 8:55 AM, 45 minutes behind its scheduled arrival of 8:10 AM (15:26-15:40).
Coach Composition: The train consists of one First Class AC coach, two AC Two-Tier coaches, four AC Three-Tier coaches, six Sleeper Class coaches, and four General Class coaches (15:40-15:56).
Final Thoughts: Raj advises against general class travel if possible, especially for families, due to the uncomfortable and hectic nature of the journey (16:31-16:48) and the poor condition of the toilets (16:50-16:59). However, he suggests it as a last resort in emergency situations, such as unexpected train cancellations (16:03-16:23, 17:04-17:16).
