I am travelling by Chernnai - Coimbatore Duranto. I booked my ticket last night around 10 pm. AT the time of booking there were 388 seats vacant in AC Chair car. I have been allotted seat in C10 coach. On boarding the train I found that C10 is a AC 3 T coach instead of AC chair car. All the other 9 coaches are of AC chair car type with exterior colorfully painted. There are three coaches totally empty and all other coaches are only 50 to 60% full.
The train started at the schedule time of 06:50. Water bottle and English/Tamil news paper was served immediately. Later, two marie biscuits in a sealed pouch, two toffees, a paper cup, plastic...
more... spoon, coffee powder, Sugar and Dairy whitener sachets and flask of hot water was served.
