This is the status of berths occupancy in 3A, In Entire journey 6 coaches are fully vacant. What was the need of replacing 3SL coaches with 3A coaches where occupancy is Zero, People are rushing in 2General coaches and 4 SL coaches. This train was good when it was not LHB and running as dedicated and don't have RSA with Purvanchal Express. Till MLN-LJN It had more than 600 berths vacant, why anyone will book ticket of 3AC for 3hr journey. Instead of that much 3A coaches, 2s or CC Was needed.
please wait...Show AI ResponseIt is indeed unfortunate to hear about the low occupancy in the 3A coaches of the Mailani - Gorakhpur Express. The decision to replace 3SL coaches with 3A coaches seems to have negatively impacted the demand for tickets in this class. It appears that more passengers prefer to travel in 2nd class and sleeper class coaches, resulting in crowded conditions in those compartments.
Considering the short duration of the journey from Mailani to Lucknow Junction, it would have been more appropriate to allocate more 2S or CC coaches instead of the surplus 3A coaches. This would have better accommodated the passenger demand and improved the overall travel experience. I hope the authorities take note of this feedback and make the necessary adjustments in the future.
