Sharing one of my horrible experience of Bhagalpur Surat Tapti Ganga Express...
It was in 2012 I was travelling from Satna to Surat...and our train was planned to arrived on PF#1 and we all members with full luggage was waiting at PF#1 and suddenly train Arrived at PF#2 without any announcement... Chaos was there all people was running towards FOB as it was not feasible to cross tracks at night....
Then Our reservation was in SL coach S4 tha...train was hauled by TWIN WDM-3 of ITARSI shed...
The

more...
S4 coach was locked from.inside.... Me and my dad...mama all knocked soo many times...but they didn't opened.. After some time the rear door opened and what I saw was full SL coach was jam packed...all seats was occupied by wait listing passengers and 40% paxx was having general tickets...and travelling in SL coach..when I reached towards my berth it was too occupied by some passengers...when I asked them to get up..they didn't...and they start showing us the general ticket and saying TTE has provided them this berth by charging extra money..and pta ni kaise itni rush meh meri Mami ka purse and Mama ka Mobile chori hogya...
And train started...I decided that I won't let the train move ahead unless I don't get my berths...so I pulled chain and stop the train...after few mins...it again started..and I pulled the chain again.. In between one man started shouting on my mom "saying surat tak sahi salamat pochna hai toh chupchap betho jao niche aur train ko chalne do"...mujhe zyada gussa aaya and firse 3rd time chain pull ki...so RPF wale and TTE aagye...Maine unhe sab situation samjayi...TTE said Maine in he berth Diya tha...but kaha tha ki SATNA se passenger aayenge toh khali karna....plus RPF ne b bahut sare passenger ko coach se bahar nikal Diya...and Hume apni seat allot ki...
And jaise hi RFP wale gye....TTE ne kaha..."iss train ka saal bhar yahi haal rehta h...abb chain mat khichyo aapko apni berth mil gyi hai pls cooperate karna insab se b aur humse b..." Aur woh chala gaya...and as train started...sab log jinhe RPF walo ne bahar nikala tha woh andar aagye....and again coach was jam packed...sab hamari seats par b beth gye..thodi thodi jagah karke....
It was the worst 22 hrs of my life....in this train..!!
Tabse I had decided ki kahi b Jana ho AC meh hi reservation karvau instead of SL.

Re# 1556313-17              
10 mins k gap p trains from same source to destination is not feasible by railways but yes they should run some new jansadharan train at a gap of 2-3 hrs...For eg. If they made both Tapti Ganga Express...fully reserved train...and no general ticket traveller can use this train toh thoda rush kam hoskta hai...and new jansadharan train should be run for those General ticket travellers..
Plus railways should put a control on WL tickets
Coz in my coach 60% public was of WL tickets and I wonder they shouldn't be allowed to
...
more...
travel in SL coaches...
Sometimes Railways Provide WL upto 500-600WL and hardly out of them 20-30 gets confirms or go into RAC and rest other passenger will climb into SL/AC coaches with WL tickets...
This is wat main issue with highly demand trains

Not literally 10 mins brother but 2 types of trains are definitely needed between this source destn pair, atleast a train can be started till ald to reduce some rush that too daily, too bad that you had tough time in this train, I have too travelled in it many times and only found that this train was overcrowded, boarding from small intermediate station is very tough. People like us don't have much connections to ST and other parts of Gujarat

Yes bro I agree to it...u r correct a train till ALD will be a huge relief for all the passenger... It was my first trip in this train....and wasn't aware regarding its overcrowding....and as u told we don't have much connectivity... I am from BL my first preferred train was shramik express from STA to BL...but after this experience I had heard the same regarding Shramik & Udyogkarmi express(BL-CNB)...
While booking for Shramik express from BL-STA on day 1 of reservation before 120 days...at 8:02am...it showed 82 #WL and then I booked tickets from LTT-STA in 13202 Janta Express..which was confirmed and my journey was comfortable... Although in MP daily travellers get into our SL coach...but as it was Sunday

zyada rush ni tha...and it was a nice journey :)
Many had advice me to travel in BL-PURI Express coz it has less stoppages and goes via BRC so not as much as overcrowded like this and I have to go mostly to STA so I can get down at Katni and from there I can go byroad to STA as its not that much far away..
