Design of Sitting seats in daily trains between Chennai and Bangalore (Vrindavan, Lalbagh, double decker...)
Dear Sir,
Problem:
The seats in these trains are highly uncomfortable. Congested and very less leg space. It is a challenge for the window seat person to come out.
Suggestion for a better design:
Total seats available today per bogie = 108
Alternate design:
Use the regular 3 tire sleeper class bogie with minimal changes as follows:
1. Instead of 3 tire make it two tire.
2. Lower berths including the side lower can be used as reserved seats for sitting: Sitting capacity in each bay: 4+4+1+1 = 10.
3. Two upper berths and side upper can be used as sleeper reservation: Sleeper capacity in each bay: 2+1= 3
4. Total capacity in one bay = 13
5. Total bogie capacity = (13 * 9) = 117.
With this design the seats will be more comfortable and also we can can get more capacity.
This is a humble suggestion for you to review and consider if appropriate!
Regards

Just think of journey duration > 12 hrs, you will find several problem with this idea. 1. Old/handicapped people have to go up to sleep. 2. All long journey train's passenger usually carry some luggage, if there would be 13 passenger in a 'bay' I am sure there wont be any leg space then. 3. You can think of situation 72 people sharing 4 toilets vs 113 people sharing 4 toilets. more

One of the immediate requirements is the rectification of food tables on the back of each seat which are heavy and cause injury as the locks are unreliable. more

4+4+1+1 will also be uncomfortable. It should be 3+3+1+1. Still seating will be more than present. Ananthachari more
