^^ Yun nga Ser e. Dapat inform nila EBS, GME, at TV5 na merong additional trips. Nag test run sila kahapon utilizing the newly donated Kiha52 train, 8 hours Tutuban-Naga. Bilis nga ng tren, nakita ko kanina.

Anyway:

mas maganda sana kung babawasan pa nila yung station na hihintuan para mas mabilis ang byahe....nakaka unsyame din kasi yung patigil tigil.

^^ Pag tumaas na yung passenger volume Sir, sigurado babalik din nila yung ibang service like Mayon Limited. Per info from PNR, lagi na daw fully booked ang Reclining Seat class.

*robot.sonic: Meh plano din ang PNR magkaron ng day trip. Maganda ang view especially sa meh Gumaca-Plaridel_lopez, Quezon, tabing dagat. Re: discount card, wala Sir. :D

Ito yung video nya rumaragasa kanina sa IRRI pabalik ng Tutuban.

Per info from one of our friends who was onboard the Trial Run, they were able to hit 110kph in a section in Tiaong, Quezon.

Average speed on flat sections: 70-85kph
Average speed on uplands: 45 kph

I wonder how the PNR fared during mad rush to the provinces these past few days?????

^^ T-611 and PS-01 last Friday were both fully booked, PNR had to release a statement na wala ng bakanteng upuan. Nakita ko mismo yung PS-01 sa Calamba and indeed there was a lot of passengers and was 30 minutes ahead of schedule. PS-03 last Saturday utilizing Kiha 52 was waaay faster, more then an hour ahead sa TT nya.

Maganda ang reception ng tao sa BEx nitong Undas. Na feature din sa news na madami sumakay. Problem though is yung byahe kanina na T-612 at PS-04 were both delayed by more than 1.5 hrs, probably due to wheel slipping sa Bondoc Peninsula. Nakasagasa tuloy either isa sa kanila siguro ng tao kanina sa Magallanes

Mamayang gabi uuwi na si Kiha 52 as PS-06. I'm expecting mabilis ang byahe nito kahit umuulan kasi specifically designed sha sa temperate mountainous regions in Northern Japan. She was also utilized as the BCT during her brief stay in Naga.
