Grievance Description : Dear Sir SUB: Withdrawing of Air condition Chair Car coach in 12639/12640 Brindavan Express with effect from 20.11.2013. This train was running with 3 Airconditioned Chair Car coaches, which was reduced to 1 after introduction of Double Decker from MAS-SBC. Now even that 1 Aircondition coach seems to be with drawn with effect from 20.11.2013, as booking is not allowed from that date. It is very sad to see that one of the prestigious trains in IR running without Airconditoned Chair car. On behalf of myself and other travelers, I sincerely req. you to provide atleast 2 Airconditioned Chair coaches in this train, as second sitting coach in this train is more or less equivalent to unreserved coach.. Thanks and Regards Kamesh K Bangalore
