Traveled in this train on February 28, 2014. The loco in operation was a WAG7 from ED. Is this normal to have a goods loco used for a passenger trains? On that the train was ahead of time, from CBE all the way to YPR.

I traveled on this train on Friday, Jan 31, in coach C5 fro TUP to MAS.
HORRIBLY maintained coach. For a premium train such as Shatabdi, this is totally not acceptable.
The food tray table, in seat 17, had no lock and it was on free fall. I noticed RATS, RODENTS and Cockroaches running all over the coach. Especially tiny rats in windows peaking at you, was funny and revolting as well.

SR has any self-respect or shame left? How can the officials sleep peacefully each night , when they have screwed-up their job so badly?
I have a contrasting experience in 12027, very next day on Saturday, Feb 1 from MAS to SBC. The coaches are in perfect conditions, with each coach displaying when pest control was performed, next due date and the company responsible for pest control.

Hi, I had made a reservation on this train for a short distance - TUP to CBE, with booking status WL/112, for 20/01/2014. I had no hopes of even getting into RAC. But I was astonished to find my reservation getting confirmed !! that too even before charts being prepared!! Does it mean 111 persons cancelled? What happened? Can someone throw some light on the confirmation process? Thanks.

Re# 897249-1              
I am in one of 3A coaches and would like to share couple of interesting observations:
1. Several passengers are not aware of additional stoppages provided on this train: BNC, KJM, TUP etc. In fact a family of 4 with small kids actually rejoiced when told about TUP stoppage as they had booked up to CBE and were planning to come back to TUP from CBE.
2. Platform food vendors blatantly misleading passengers saying that train won't stop until SA and telling that no pantry or catering, forcing passengers

to buy packed dinner in SBC.
3. On board catering guys coming and telling passengers not to get fooled by platform vendors and instead buy dinner on board..

    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...
