            X Class kettle 37399 at Hillgrove with train 06136 07h10 Mettupalayam to Ooty on 26th October 2023.

I wish Indian Railways would "get its shit together" with this route.  They insist on running just one train each way between Mettupalayam and Coonor each day.  Tickets virtually instantly sell out months in advance,  but there's numerous kettles and coaches dotted about to run at least one more train a day.

The other thing that requires improvement is the rolling stock.  The original coaches were wood, all the windows opened, same with the glass in each doorway and it was a proper heritage experience.  Now there's some ghastly modern designs mixed up in the trains with less opening windows, hideous doors that can only be opened from the outside with no opening windows.  It all needs putting on a proper heritage footing with a more frequent service.
