It is mentioned by railways that this train will be running with revised composition from 3 Rd July where they are adding two economy coaches.But in the composition they haven't mentioned Pantry car.So are they removing pantry car from Kerala Sampark Kranti Exp?

Pt 1: /blog/post/6062395

Returned from MAO by 12218 CDG KCVL KSK from MAO.

The train was more than an hour late when it reached MAO and I was actually cursing the controllers....
more...

All trains platforms except ours was announced and I was waiting at PF 1. But it was displayed that Konkan Kanya would come there.

MAO MAQ VB was at PF. 2 and Mangala came at 3.

Still nothing happened. After VB departed, I thought it would come at 2. Then it showed at 2 that 22653 TVC NZM SF would arrive there. Proper announcements were not present and I went mad. Atlast I said it will come at 3 and it came at 3. Left with a triple jerk from MAO and the jerks were present throughout the journey and the flat wheel made me more mad. Somehow slept and reached ERS around 8:30 today morning.

Maybe the draft gear rubber pads of the coach's coupler setup had completely worn off.
This might have been the issue in this coach.
