I feel it is very bad, 2 yrs before 2 AC is having very nice and clean curtains and toilets, Now trains are running with out curtains. toilets are running with out water and sufficient toilets space. I feel Frequency is increased with old and expired trains.
But what to do north indian railway is running in loss due to our brothers and sisters(Indians in UP, BIHAR etc) who travel in the train ticketless and killing the TTRs for asking tickets hence these are all unavoidable issues.
The very worst maintained coaches, despite repeated complaints. No TTE from trichy to Chennai Egmore. Free flow of beggers and unreserved passengers in all coaches. No water and toilets turn stinky. Great punishment for passengers going to holy places Kashi and Rameswaram. Good patronage. Frequency need to be increased to tri-weekly. operation should be surrendered to Madurai division for better maintanence.
The waiting rooms were full of Big Rats, Cows on the platform and bathrooms completely Filty. This was in Jan 2014. Now it bust be better. maximum Rajdhani stop there.
