14259/14260 Rameswaram Varanasi express

Adding of additional places enroute to the train will only lengthen the journey & increase the number of hours of travel. As a matter of fact, there are several important temple towns in Tamilnadu such as, Srirangam(Trichy), Chidambaram), Chennai which have to be linked. Further this train has to be made thrice in a week as against the existing the frequency. Maintenance & upkeep of the coaches & the toilets require high priority.

Thiruvandapuram Guwahati Express 12507 / 125 08: [weekly train originating on Tuesday from Thiruvanadapuram ]

Thiruvandapuram Guwahati Express 12507 / 125 08: [weekly train originating on Tuesday from Thiruvanadapuram ] It was a night mare on the very first day of this year 2015 , when I boarded at Coimbatore on the very first day of the year at 01.30 A.M. The train came in time . My ticket was booked in Sleeper class[ well ahead ]confirmed so I was casually waiting for the compartment be boarded .

But to my surprise the doors on both sides were locked from inside ; when I saw through some glass windows couldn’t see any moving place at all. I was a good 500 km away from my home . What to do at the wee hours ,being a 71 year old ? Luckily the T.T.E came as a God and made the illegal occupants to open the door to let me [legitimate passenger ]in and occupy my birth which was occupied by 3 people . How do you like it ? There was no place to keep my measly baggage also . Managed and once the train left people started sitting near my head and legs . I had to tell the people near my head to move out ; didn’t feel like doing it to the people at my feet as they were women with children. Between the 2 lower births 2 people were sleeping on baggages . One had to be a gymnast to go to the toilet wading through the crowd all through . To make it to and fro took 20minutes. My Indian empathetic mind accepted as I could see so many families with women and small children.

I wasn’t a member of “make railways better” then . Otherwise you would have taken some pictures of the situation and posted to you to see the position . There was no R.P.F. to regulate in a reserved compartment. Even if he was there he would have to to be a super gymnast .

In my estimation that sleeper compartment which is meant for 72 passengers there would have been 225 passengers [153 illegitimate passengers ] what is the explanation the railways has to give for the legitimate confirmed ticket holders ? Do we have to succumb to this which is purely manmade [that is railway staff ] ?

I have sent a resource post in detail on causes for overcrowding and also the solutions on 7th July . I will post it again when I get a chance some one interested so that they can add their inputs . Will not anyone voice their concern on this issue please so that the railway administration wakes up ? The 2 stars are for the Driver, Gaurd and the T.T.E who let me in ! If Railway administration was sensitive the other 3 stars would have been contemplated .

WAKE UP RAIL ADMINISTARTION WORK TIRELESSLY LIKE YOUR MINISTER ND HIS TEAM TO SERVE US.

Passengers on the Chennai - Chhapra Ganga Cauvery, train(s) numbers 12669(70), and other trains along this rate sunning south to north and vice versa not only seem to have no respect for reserved sleeper class coaches, they also invace airconditioned coaches. How long will this situation be allowed to prevail?

Super fast train (only sitting) No 12617/12618 between Bengaluru and Tirupati is a best train and reaches almost in time . But there are two station Jolarpet and Chittoor where the trains stops though there is no schedule stoppage. It is better to add these two stations or else should not stop. There is an attempt to employ private people for cleaning , but should make effective, of course the passenger's role is more than the Railways. The passengers should be responsive citizens,other wise maintenance of such massive organization is difficult .

Worst maintained coaches,Cleanliness of train toilets require improvement, in TRAINS 16102,16182/16714 vis versa
