I had earlier mentioned in one of my trip reports that KING COROMANDEL, the PRIDE OF SER, is no longer a king but a mere commoner.
My son who is travelling in Coach S5 of the HWH-bound Coromandel due to arrive today at 12 noon just telephoned me to say that his bogie is packed like sardines. And going to the toilet is a greater achievement than scaling the Himalayan peaks. The coach is carrying human cargo in excess of 100+.
Fines are no deterrent as people are willingly paying them to

legitimise their unauthorised occupancy. Do you see any light at the end of the tunnel, vainly hoping that IR will put an end to this torture of reserved passengers. Well I for one cannot. On the contrary, to me, the end of the tunnel appears darker than the beginning. I can soon visualize this MENACE spreading to the 3AC/2AC bogies, at least the unairconditioned passage near the doors/toilets.
GOD SAVE THE SLEEPER CLASS PASSENGERS. BUT MAY BE EVEN THE ALMIGHTY HAS THROWN UP HIS HANDS.

Exactly, that is why a Drnt with SL class or a SF with VERY LESS halts(tech halts if drnt starts) should work out if and only if IR wants to think from public view.

If You once travel in CORO may be till BZA from VSKp, u'll be able to verify what i'm saying here.
TTE (Base of )distribution of CORO.
1)HWH - KUR = ECoR KUR based TTE.
2)KUR - VSKP = ECoR KUR based TTE.
3)VSKP

- BZA = SCR BZA based TTE.
4) BZA - MAS = SCR BZA based TTE.
I can bet that my info is true and if u want u can verify it across.
The SCR TTE's do the duty from MAS to BZA and hence if they are allowing it they are at fault.
Not sure about the RPF's are from which base.

Edited : I am opting out if it continues on duties of TTE. They are helpless.

I don't object or contradict your info. The blog is under MAS HWH. When SR TTE gives away all UR/WL passengers a receipt of excess fare tkts, what else a BZA based SCR TTE do?
I dont remember when I traveled last in Coro FROM VSKP but

I remember traveling from MAS in Coro to VSKP. Recently, my brother traveled from BZA to VSKP in Coro SL and the fate remains the same. It took 1 hour to arrange his luggage and get his berth from BZA.

Thats true.. This SL class over load is due to
Lack of sufficient trains for sure.. One more daily non AC train is the need of the hour..

i completely agree with u sir.....i myself faced the problem when i travelled in Vivek express from BZA-CAPE....many might say, its a shorter journey compared to what others are travelling...but that journey was really a nightmare...which made our group of pax decide tht they wouldnt travel in SL again....we couldnt choose AC coz the quota was only 6 for BZA whereas the pax travelled were more...
There were no announcements about whereabouts of this train, no person to take care of water and there were almost 180 pax as to 72 in a single SL coach....
TTE
...
more...
just passed by widout sayin any word and few pax from KGP/SGUJ started protesting against this crowd once we raised about it...till then they suffered....
Take about falaknuma itself, reserved pax are forced to sit as if they have UR tickets and ppl with season tickets travel as if they have 1A pass....the case of trains like eastcoast and Dhanbad alleppey is beyond description....
Leave about the inconvenience...what happens if some fire breaks out?
Remember TN accident...where 80 ppl in a coach couldnt be saved...what if the no is 180-200???
where is the safety factor?
Once wen i travelled in HWH mail, an UR pax asked me whether he can sleep in the area between our berths, i simply denied....it should come from the pax...everyone in the bogie shud protest against travelling of WL or UR pax....wil tte allow if everyone protest???

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
