So, yesterday (21-09-2024) evening I boarded 12785 (KCG-MYS SF) from KCG. I was sure to deboard at SBC, but a few fellow passengers wanted to deboard at the scheduled halt of BNC. To my surprise, the train didn't stop at the cantonment itself (although it halted at the east station) and directly arrived at SBC at 6:25 AM as usual to PF-5. I traveled on this train multiple times; this is the first time it has happened in my experience of 10+ times. Weird thing to happen...
