Route diverted in Gujarat!
"Arre train Udaipur nahi jaaegi"
"Ab? Aur kahaan jaa sakte hai?"
"Himmatnagar, Mahesana and... Taranga Hill"
"OK, lets go there then!"
"Udhar kya hai?"
"Kuch pata nahi. Lets go!!!"
The Mumbai gang's original plan was to cover ADI - Udaipur MG section, but the MG express was short terminated at Himmatnagar. Finally, the sections covered were ADI - Himmatnagar by MG 2AC, ADI - Mahesana by MG passenger, Mahesana - Taranga hill by MG DMU. A long standing wish of travelling by LHB shatabdi too was fulfilled in this trip. Date: 2010-07-16 to 2010-07-18.
