Whoosh again
A second trip with the high speed train
It is a continuation of previous story, the return trip.
Breakfast
I am staying at Naraya Hotel, Jakarta. It is good and affordable.
For the return trip with high speed I have breakfast more than I usually have as shown above. Hopefully It can help me to keep the pace with the train.
My favourite food is congee or rice porridge, that I eat twice, where the last is mixed with meatballs. It is a mix menu, not the originally served.
Coach 07 Seat 16F
The seat is on the right window and the coach is the second or the third from an end. I hope that end is the first in the direction to Padalarang.
It seems that there are more passangers in the weekend compared to in the weekdays.

After I the the picture the seats 17A, 17B, and 17C are occupied. Two of them have luggage stored on the above compartment. The seat 17E is already occupied as I enter the coach 07.
Top speed
It is about 346 km/h and not as fasf as the outbound trip.
It is now 1122 and only 8 minutes left to the destination. There is no chance to sleep, right? And also for the speed over previous value.
Short stop
It is announced that the train will depart to Padalarang station shortly and stops only about 3 minutes. Prepare the belongings.
Right door will be opened. Feeder train only available in the station.
Feeder train
It is full, perhaps due to the more passengers of the Whoosh.
It is still convenient while in the Whoosh but not in the feeder train. To travel with the high speed train in the weekend is not recommended, unless your final station is Padalarang and not Bandung, when depart from Jakarta.
The story is initially posted at 1128. There might be further revision.
