IT is for all or It is for special kind of person @first blogger: anybody can book a ticket in garib rath express. the charges are less than other trains with ac comfort. this is not like 'YUVA' train where concession is available only for certain sections of people. just relax and book tickets, if available on your travel journey date. @first blogger: Garbi Raths trains were introduced for General middle class income passengers to enable travel in AC class. In the absence of any criteria or condistions, it is open for all without any discrimination. @first blogger: And thus, it is not a RATH only for Garibs. @S K Jain: Mar 13 (06:32PM) In a way, Why can't it be said that it's a rath for everybody bcoz everybody (even lakhpati , millionaire) thinks himself / herself Garib only. My train is scheduled for tomorrow and I am waitlisted at 172 for 3AC. Can you guys please let me know my chances of getting a confirmed ticket.

Your current status after chart preparation is W/L 1. Regards HE2L @HD: Feb 27 (02:58PM) This is the most unfortunate status. hi i want to know about the booking day of train2909 garib rath as i want to travel on 18 th may 2010 so i can get confrim ticket @first blogger: The booking will open tomorrow 17.2.2010 for journey date 18.5.2010 @ 8.00 am. For your info, the booking for all trains open 90 days ahead of the journey date. @Kapadia : Feb 16 (06:24PM) Now this is assuming that your journey starting station falls on Day of the train. If it falls on Day 2 of the train, the booking is already opened. @MST IndianRailways: Feb 16 (09:25PM) There is sometime a safe and fair assumption. The blogger needs not to be confused more. @Kapadia : Feb 17 (11:17AM) But it can happen that he is delayed by 1 day due to our assumption. better to clarify first. @first blogger: in bandra nzm garib rath, if u have waiting 216 before an hour of chart prepare than it is 99.99 % sure that your ticket will confirm, bcoz there are 3 extra coch will add extra mns 72*3 = 216 berth every trip of this train @first blogger: but one thing u have to confirm that ur ticket is must be fron nzm to bdts or bdts to nzm only. not any middle to middle or end station @first blogger: yes you can @akash jain: Feb 18 (01:36AM) Nothing like that. WL of one quota are processed in order only. Its not that on NZM-BDTS are confirmed and others like NZM-BVI are not confirmed. Pls dont give a wrong logic. @MST IndianRailways: Feb 18 (10:17PM) In certain trains, there are quotas for Borivali whereas the train originates from Mumbai Central / BDTS/ Dadar Mid Town. How the WL proceeds in such situations ? You may provide offcial link, if any, for the purpose of info and detailed procedure of IR in so far as confirmation system and mainly to re-confirm for NZM-BDTS and NZM-BVI. What are the chances for WL 15 to confirm? 3rd AC Class 9th March Departure From Vadodara to Nizamuddin Actually I am planning to book ticket from Mumbai to Baroda and Baroda to Nizamuudin as direct booking has a approx 300 WL instead of having good speed why this train is late about 1 to 2hrs Train is 2909 NZM GARIB RATH PNR no. is 8139778472 Date of Journey is 4- May- 2010 Travelling frm BANDRA to MATHURA (3AC) Ticket status is W/L 6, W/L 7, W/L 8 will it be confirmed? or atleast get RAC? or shall i book tatkal for safer side? @first blogger: Plz keep patience. There are definite chances of confirmation. For Tatkal also, you have to wait till 2.5.2010. By the time tatkal opens, you will find your ticket status - confirmed. @first blogger: 100% confirm ho jaygi is train mein 3 coach extra lagte hay hello there, I have a query regarding my boarding pt. I have the ticket booked for Garib rath 2909 for 11th Feb'10 today from BDTS to NZM with boarding pt as BRC. Can i board this train from BVI???? Please help!!!! @first blogger: You cannot board this train at BVI. @Manish Panda: Feb 11 (02:41PM) even thogh i have paid fare from BDTS to NZM????i still can't board it from BVI...are there any other ways to take the train from BVI???? @anon: Feb 11 (02:44PM) Yes, this is the rule of railways. If you had bboked same ticket from BDTS to NZM with boarding at BVI and later wanted to change it to BRC, then it is allowed. But in your case, change in boarding is not allowed even though you have paid full fare. Only alternative is to book another ticket from Borivali to Vadodara in same train. @first blogger: definietly it is possible!!!! @anon: Feb 11 (03:02PM) Dear Sir, please let us know how this is possible? @anon: Feb 11 (03:02PM) If you can clarify what rule you have based this information on it will be a great help to understand it bcoz to my knowledge this change is not possible. This is the relevant content from IR website CHANGE OF BOARDING POINT :- If a passenger desires to occupy reserved accommodation from any station enroute, he would be permitted to entrain at any intermediate station he chooses irrespective of the distance from the starting station subject to the following conditions :- 1. A specific request must be made in writing at the station from where the ticket is purchased and reservation made atleast 24 hours before the scheduled departure of the train from the starting station. 2. The Railway Administration reserves the right to use such accommodation from the originating station up to the station at which the passenger is due to entrain. 3. No refund will be permissible for the portion of journey not performed by the passenger. Now as this says the passenger may entrain from Any intermediate station irrespective of the distance from the starting station but it is not very clear whether the starting station and Intermediate station is for the specific passenger or for the train . If they are for the train this change can be done but if it is for the passenger in question it can not be done. PNR: 0169293618. Booked on Feb 11 (Tomorrow) from BDTS to NZM. Waiting List 36. What is the chance of getting it confirmed? Please reply. @first blogger: this is invalid pnr awesome train...very fast...takes only 1.5 hrs more than rajdhani...and costs less than half of rajdhani fare. very good. should be made daily. very high wl always @first blogger: The fast and economical travel in AC class were the basis for introduction of Garib Rath trains. The ticket cost of Rajdhani includes catering, bedding, other supplementary and development charge whereas Garib Rath ticket it is all extra payments. Keep using GR more and more. @Kapadia : Feb 08 (01:20PM) ok food and bedding another Rs 200 max. still very cheap compared to AC3 of rajdhani @anon: Feb 08 (02:08PM) but most of the time u will hav to make ur bookin in tatkal....n also punctuality is big time ?mark Hi, I have a query please. We are travelling on 13th Feb 2010 by 2909 garib rath to delhi which commences from Bandra. Our boarding station is Borivali. Please advise if we can board this train from Bandra instead of Borivali. Thanks @first blogger: Although its just 19 km between BDTS & BVI but still there is a small risk in doing that because as per rules if the TTE will not find the passenger on his/her respective seats then the berths may be alloted to any wait listed passenger in the Que. So It is advised to you must change your boarding point from any near by reservation counter. @first blogger: Two possiblities are there with your ticket: 1. You have ticket from Bandra but boarding point as Borivali. 2. You have ticket as well as boarding point being Borivali. I regret to inform you that in both the situations, you can not board from Bandra T. In first situation, it is expressly disallowed by Railways and in the secon situation, it is implied. Yet, if the first situations exists, to to a PRS till more than 24 Hrs. remain in departure from Bandra and request a Supervisor to change from BVI to BDTS. Sorry and good wishes for a comfortable boarding. @first blogger: I apologies for my posting at 05:17 pm,I was not intended to give wrong information but just read the blog again after posting. You have ticket with boarding point as BVI & now you want to board from BDTS which is one stop prior to your boarding point. 1) You have ticket which may be booked form BVI and boarding point BVI in this case you cant change the boarding point to BDTS because the boarding point should be on the route between your journey stations(I mean it should be between BVI & NZM). 2) You have the ticket which may be booked from BDTS but boarding point as BVI and again you cant change the boarding point because if you have this type of ticket you have changed boarding at the time of your booking and as per boarding change rules you can not change the boarding point again. So with that ticket dont even board from BDTS other wise you will be considered as without ticket passenger between these two stations and charged as per extent railway rules(which will be normally very heavy amount). So I will suggest you to board from BVI. @Jitesh Chhabra: Feb 07 (05:17PM) The question was about a reverse situation. Train starts from station A (originating stations), he is holding boarding point as station B (the 1st halt of the train) and now he wishes (asking for) to board from station A. @S K Jain: Feb 07 (05:34PM) Not possible Jain Sir How could it be while the journey ticket is issued between point B & C @Jitesh Chhabra: Feb 07 (05:37PM) Yes ! it is not possible and both of us have replied on the same lines. My last post was indicating the misunderstanding under which you had responded at 05:17 PM today/ However, within minutes, you realised your self and posted a correction. Great and thanks ! @S K Jain: Feb 07 (05:44PM) Thanks Sir I just forget to check the train route before posting and realized it later and took this query as normal boarding change and replied according to it. Actually my intention was to reply the query as soon as possible because I have observed many times it will not be helpful to the blogger to post the required info after some time, because that time blogger may not be present at the site or may not come back later. One more point I would like to raise if you the actual person who started the thread get benefit from the answer then at least he/she should reply so that we would be able to know that some one get benefited from our exercise. @first blogger: To clarify in simple way. Boarding is at BVI. Train starts from BDTS> If the TTE checks, the passenger will have to pay the fare between BDTS-BVI. 1. There is no question of any other person travelling that sector on GR !!!! 2. Normally, on outbound trains which have stops enroute the TTE checks after the last boarding point of that Metro section. There should be no problem at BDTS.. just inform the TTE why the change happened. Any excuse will do. However if called upon to pay, then, passenger will have to pay " fare with penalty between original boarding point to changed boarding point" which would be Rs 200 per ticket inclusive of all charges. Upto the passenger to decide. He can go to the counter and get the boarding point changed, but he would have to pay the difference amount between the two stations !! Good wishes. @Murli: Feb 07 (06:12PM) Sir you are right but in this case boarding point can not be changed to BDTS. @Jitesh Chhabra: Feb 07 (06:15PM) Penalty will not be required to be paid, The passenger will have to make a ticket from Bandra to Borivali, since there will be plenty of berths available. Its a different fact that the fare itself can be higher from Bandra to Borivali. @Jitesh Chhabra: Feb 07 (05:17PM) but jitesh the train originates from BDTS.. and the blogger wants to board the train from BDTS instead of BVI.. so the TTE may catch hold of the blogger for travelling 19km without ticket.. And Boarding Station cannot be changed as this facility is available only for the stations which fall after the original Boarding Point. Like for Example, in the case of 2928 Vadodara Express, if the ticket is from BCT to BRC, boarding can be changed to BVI; but if it is from BVI to BRC, the boarding station cant be one which is earlier viz, BCT @Jitesh Chhabra: Feb 07 (05:17PM) sorry 2927 Vadodara Express @MST IndianRailways: Feb 07 (11:12PM) The fare comes out to be Rs 185 / head from Bandra to Borivali. No concessions for this train are given. If berths are still available, its cheaper to cancel the tickets from BVI and rebook from BDTS. @MST IndianRailways: Feb 08 (08:15AM) Sir It is better option to go BDTS via Local train instead of re booking. Regards HE2L @HD: Feb 08 (08:37AM) The passenger needs to go to Borivali in Local train which is faster, cheaper and easily available. If for reasons of luggage etc., BDTS boarding is must, then any one can take out a ticket from BDTS to BVL and rest of the passengers can join at Borivali. @others; The concluding remark is that Boarding point change is permissible once and that only to stations which fall ahead on the ticket booking. The blog entry now deserves to be locked. @Kapadia : Feb 08 (11:04AM) Thanks for the discussion Locked Now :) What is the chance of getting my ticket for Garib rath 13th feb Mumbai to New Delh igetting confirmed.My Pnr is 8339396709 @first blogger: Please don not post multiple postings for the same query, I have replied to your query in blog no 20293.

We would like to know whether our ticket will be confirm ?Genrally how many waiting list person get confirmed ticket. @anon: Feb 06 (11:31PM) Sir, you are neither specifying the PNR number, nor specifying the starting and ending station stations. What WL gets confirmed depends on journey starting to ending station. If your ticket is from Bandra to Borivali, then 100% it will get confirmed, because many passengers board at Borivali, but use the Bandra quota. hi guys traveling to NZM from BDTS today and just wandered into this page. and was pleasantly surprised by all the info and support provided. just want to congratulate whoever is behind this and hope that you will keep it up. rgds m @first blogger: Thanks for your words.

Now due to fog, it is running late. today also rajdhanis of date is running 7.15 hrs behind schedule. So dont have tension about 21 jan now itself. look out on tv after 18-19 jan and you can know the position. With the kind of fog whch is present now in delhi, tomorrow also the trains may not come on time. keep calm till 18-19 jan and blog. the position would be clearer by then. @anon: Jan 08 (10:37PM) thanks... hey guys i am travelling to delhi on either 16th or 19th by garib rath do u think trains will be delayed by a huge amount of time ? or shuld everything become normal by that time thanks for ure help vivek @first blogger: The weather dept themselves cannot predict weather, how can ppl here predict? @MST IndianRailways*: Jan 12 (07:38AM) lol...but jus try and keep me in the loop if you get any ideas ! thnx I want to go to delhi in April first week by garib rath. When can I book the ticket? Can we get senior citizen concession in Garib Rath? When is the peak season for this route starts? Is it in mid April or after that. @first blogger: tickets can be booked 90 days in advance. no senior citizen concession as the fares are less then a senior citizen fare. Peak season starts from the day schools holiday session. April to June are peak season from mum to delhi traffic. and May 10= June end for delhi-mumbai tickets. since delhi school opens in first week of July, rush towards Delhi wil be more. similarly if school starts in June in mumbai, rush towards mumbai will be more. if you have travel plans, make it appropriately in advance. You can book through your nearest reservation counter or through internet in - www.irctc.co.in. if you have got a debit/credit card/internet log in and password, you can book through internet in the wbsite quoted. if none of the abov is with you, you can go to the nearest counter and book the tickets. You can also book through IRCTC authorised booking agents on payment of charges. Valid identity during travel is a must. for any other clarifications, pl let the bloggers know. thanks. wish you a safe and pleasant journey. 2909 Bandra (Mumbai) Garib rath of today will depart tomorrow at 06:00 Hrs. from Bandra T. what time train will reach to nizammudin,...... plz let me know its ugrent....is it late........ train me khanA MILE GA KYA @first blogger: Yes but you have to pay for it can somebody plz tell me at what time garib rath reached delhi today? what are the chances of it being it late on 3rd jan at kota sation @first blogger: since due to thick fog, all trains were late today which were coming into Delhi. No body can predict the delay/on time arrival of trains on 3-1-10. Pl check with 139 before departure, since if fog condition persists, it may be delayed. My booking is for tomorrow for NZM Rath from mumbai to NZM. Can somebody confirm if train will stop at Borivali or not or i have to go Bombay CST. @first blogger: It WILL stop at Borivali (normally PF 4). You have wrongly mentined Bombay CST. It does not start from Mumbai CST (actually CSTM) or Mumbai Central but departs from Bandra Terminus. @S K Jain*: Dec 30 05:09PM Thanks a lot for this confirmation because i am new to bombay arrived few days back and now leaving for delhi and came to know that CSTM is far away from andheri (E) and i was worried about reaching CSTM. Thanks once again. what is the number to call railway enquiry operator other than 139 to confirm if Garib Rath stops at Borivali on 31st or not. i am not able to connect operator for this confirmation. @first blogger: 139 is the only number. please refer to western rly website for full details of block. also you can search - blocks, in this website itself and also the news section where an ad of WR appears as a link. thanks @first blogger: It will stop at Borivali. In fact all Garib Rath Trains have halt at Borivali while going from Mumbai to Nizamuddin / Delhi Sarai Rohilla (2909, 2216 and 2993A). But in return journey, none of the GR Trains will stop at Borivali till 15.02.2010 and instead, will have halts at Vasai Road (BSR) and Andheri (ADH) (2910, 2215 and 2994A). what is the punctuality of this train क्या तत्कात वेटिंग - २ २९, दिसम्बर को कॉन्फीर्म हो सकता है ? @first blogger: तत्काल वाटिंग १० नंबर तक कॉन्फीर्म होता है i hv w/l 6 in garib rath on 29 from brc to nzm is there a possibility to get confirmed as it hasn't moved a inch since 2 months. @first blogger: yeah sure it will get confrimed ...as in when chart will be prep[ared..don wooryy @first blogger: but how does garib rath charts work can anyone tell me as per ur experience with garib rath..that will my status get confirmed?

YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE BORIVALI CONSTRUCTION WORK... NO ONE CAN PREDICT YOU THE SCENARIO ON 12TH DEC BETTER GET THE RAILWAY ENQUIRY ON THE SAME DAY OR ONE DAY PRIOR JOURNEY.. ALL THE BEST @VINITA JAIN: Dec 07 11:13AM Vinita ji, In fact, it is not a case of prediction. It has well been scheduled by the Railways and 2909, 2216, 2993A (all Garib Rath Trains leaving from Bandra, Mumbai towards either Nizamuddin or Delhi Sarai Rohilla) will stop at Borivali during the major consutrction work due to which halts of some trains are changed till 15.02.2010. The reverse of these trains i.e. 2910, 2215 and 2994A will, however NOT halt at Borivali till 15th Feb., 2010 and instead - halt at Vasai Road as well as Andheri. @S K Jain*: Dec 07 01:27PM THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATED REPLY.. garibrath me kambal milta hai @first blogger: on payment of Rs.25/- for the whole set of bedding. I have taken a ticket from Borivali to Nizamuddin on 01-Dec-09. One of the newspaper stated that Garib rath is not going to stop at Borivali till February 2010. Can anyone guide us on this Yes this is true. Please check on www.wr.indiarail.gov.in. Other stoppages have been provided for this train But NOT at BVI... Good luck and good wishes. Just check; 2909, 2216 and 2993A will stop (these are outgoing Garib Rath Trains from Mumbai) at Borivali. Yes, 2910, 2215 and 2994A will NOT stop (these are incoming Garib Rath Trains towards Mumbai) at Borivali. There is a big mega block in operation at Borivali Station as a new platform 6A is under construction. As a result this train and a couple of others will not halt at Borivali station till 15 Frb 2010 thanx . It's been of great help and relief @anon: Nov 28 10: GARIB RATHS WILL NOW HALT @ VASAI ROAD AND ANDHERI instead of BORIVALI TILL FEB2010 @anon: Nov 28 12:08PM and all, At the cost of repetition, I wish to clarify that all the 7 GR Trains arriving at Bandra Terminus (per week) will not stop at Borivali and instead, stop at Vasai & Andheri. But all the reverse of these 7 trains (going out from Mumbai), all will stop at Boriavli and thus, will not stop at Andheri & Vasai. @anon: Nov 28 12:08PM It will be going to halt at borivali platform no. 4, There will be no issue for 2909 train.. that things is only applicable to 2910 train....Nzm to bandra i'm also travelling in today train... have fun..

Hi, We are a group of 6 (I have posted before as well). However, one of us has backed out, and another one wishes to take her place. Is it possible to modify a ticket bought on the IRCTC website? If yes, what is the procedure? Yes, take the e-ticket and one id of one of the travelling passengers to the PRS counter with an application requesting for substitution of another name, which should show some common denominator, such as set of friends, colleagues, relatives. Normally it will be done. Good wishes. Sorry, but I am a newbie... What is a PRS counter Do you mean I have to go to a bigger station and do it? or should I just go to any station master? PRS counter means any station where the reservation counter is available PRS(Passsenger Reservaton System) Counter. No need to goto bigger station you can goto any nearby station. Has the extra side berths removed from Garibh Rath trains? NO recently i travelled in this train and found out of 14 AC 3 tier coaches only one coach had side middle berth.....rest all coaches were of 75 berths. hi, can anybody help me to know how many seats are there in tatkal kota for chair car Hi, I have 6 tickets for January 9 on the Bandra Garib Rath Express/2909.

No chance dear my wl#618 on 15 oct is there any chance that it will get conf or should i take another train. it is true that wating list upto 600 will be confirm for garib rath from bdts to nzm for the same dy of travelling Train No 2909 Train Name NZM GARIB RATH From ST To NZM Date 03-10-2009 Class 3A Boarding Point ST Reservation Upto NZM Current Waiting 95.. any chances? can anybody tell me what felicity provide in garib rath 3ac also chair car or it is sleeper and what about food. please reply In Garib Rath train there are two type of accomodations available 3A & CC 3A is Sleeper class, but bed rolls are not provided in it like other trains, these are available @ an extra cost of Rs 25 CC is sitting accomadation BETTER TAKE YOUR OWN FOOD FOR SAFETY, CHAIR CAR IS NOT GOOD AS THE SEATS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL. 2909 garib rath main meri ticket wating list main hain no.157/158/159/160 to kya conform ho jayegi plz rply me aapne date nahi bataya. will the railways run extra traind during diwali festival?. waiting list 517 on oct 15, 497 on 10 oct against total seats 364 hardly makes sense. similarly WL 131 seating against 196 seats on 15 oct makes little sense. extra trains on daily basis are required between oct 10 and oct 22 i tjought railways were to reply 0901/0902, 0903/0904, 0903A/0904A are extended till october end. Of course all the numbers are for Rajdhani specials. GR specials have not been announced. that takes care of mumbai-delhi route. may be they will attach extra coach during those period. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR BAD & PILLOW IN 3AC & WHAT IS THE COST WE HAVE TO PAY? 25/- only please turn this train via Ahmedabad. If this is possible else very profit for the railway because very much people journy ahmedabad ti delhi so this is my request for railway and mamtadidi. as per budget provisions, train no.2993 jaipur gr is being extended till delhi (date not known may be in oct time table) so your suggestion of ahmedabad=delhi gr is already taken care by this extension of bdts jaipur train to delhi. watch out for the dates. Mumbai- Jaipur GR via Ahemdabad is being extended to Delhi. Total BCT-NDLS route kms of extended train would be just 55 km more than main BCT-KOTA-MATHURA-NZM route. But journey time would be significantly more due to low capacity track. Extended GR would be useful for part journey between NDLS-JAIPUR-AHEMDABAD-BCT and less attractive for the entire NDLS-BCT route its avery nice train but only 1 demerit that the 3 seat system on the passage side seats are very discomfortable...i would request to make it as earlier 2 side seats only which is very comfortable... i agree with u that Ac chair car three seating system is totally uncomfortable. And specially the seat no.1,2,3 and 4,5,6...i had suffer a lot while i had seat no.1.so i request to look to this matter for public comfort.Otherwise this train is superb in speed and comfort. I have WL366 on 13-Aug in 3 AC. Confirm hone k chances hai kya? ho jaega if tck are till delhi it will confirm. I hav WL 1& WL 2 ,from BDTS to KOTA on 1 sep 09 This Train must run on daily basis. Compare to another train its so neat and clean. This train must run on daily basis. This is my request ti raulways to consider it ASAP. हमारी टिकेट इन वेटिंग 49,50,51,52,53,54 hai 20/10/2009 की क्या conform ho jayegi bilkul ho jayegi.abhi journey mein time hai 2909 ग़रीब रात 20/10/09 की 6 टिकेट वेटिंग में है 49,50,51,52,53,54 बांद्रा टर्मिनस से तो क्या कनफॉर्म हो जाएगी? It should run daily 28-08-2009 ko di. to mumbai 5 3 tier a\c ticket mil jaegi? 2909 garib rath main 12 years se kam child ki ticket ka charge Rs.391/- your site is showing fare of chair car of garib rath from Mumbai to Delhi Rs.179/- where actually fare is Rs.552/- Please check the same and do necesary correction agar ticket W/L me ho to, kya train me safar kar sakte hain ya train me entry hi permission nahi hain. Waitlist tickets are not allowed inside reserved coaches in any train. Travel at own risk. kya agar tatkal ki w/l ki ticket hai 6janoki aur ousmai se 2 janoki ticket conform hai to baki ke 4 log train mai safar kar sakte hai kya? sirf yahi nahi kisi bhi aur train ke bare main bhi ye hi sawal hai? why not aap train main safar kar sakte ho aur agar WL hai to TT ko 100/50 dekey seat confirm bhi karwa saktey ho मुंबई व्ट से व्हाया मनमाड देहली ग़रीब रात शुरू KARO ANIL BARSE MANMAD You will see the result very soon There is no pantry Car in the train.But u would be served hot soup/tea on payment of money.Wondernig how they get hot soup/tea..they put the bath heating road in the tub and using it heat the tea/soup.. Food is so soo..it gets into the train at surat. There are 3 extra berths always added to the train namely GE1,GE2,GE3. as a result waiting till 240 is assumed to get converted.There is max probability that you may find your seat confirmed due to this. if u are lucky .u would meet the mumbai rajdhani at vadodara :) Bedding costs Rs20 mujhe tatkal ticket nikalni hai par mujhe janna hai kitne din pahle niukalna chaiye any one help me about ? 5 days before travel date. go to the counter for better results. Why we have to pay extra for pillows and bedding , is it not the AC 3 tier? While the IR has long back included (costing of) Bed Rolls in all AC Sleeper Classes, Garib Rath has been spared from it. Reason, it is for GARIBs and if they want further to save, bring required material from home. Thus, the costing of Bed Roll is not inbuilt with the fare and hence a separate cost. - S K Jain Please can you tell me the seat layout for AC 3 Tier coach G-12, Berth no 17,18,19,20. 17 lower,18 middle,19 upper and 20 lower Since it is Garib rath express, I believe 17 - Side Middle, 18 - Side Upper 19- Lower 20- Middle 17Middle, 18 upper, 19 lower, 20 middle In Garib raths they have different configuration Starts with 123 (3 berth cabin) and 3 side berths and 6 berth cabin and so on.....

PLEASE LET ME KNOWN AS I AM TRAVELLING WITH A KID OF 2 YEARS TODAY EVENING u hv 2 pay extra for bedding and pillows in garib rath trains. for food arrangement no idea as i have never travelled by any garib rath train.

Toilets are good.There is no pantry car provision in Garib Rath.They had make shift arrangments where in at important junctions collect the food at stations as per the advance bookings made in the train depending on timings of dinner or lunch. When are side middle berths going to be removed in this train? The side middle berths in Garib Raths will never be removed.These coaches are specially designed with 78 berths in 3rd AC to provide at cheap fare to common people. If seat is under waiting list, is it permited to journey in the train. WL tickets are not permitted to travel in train. aap hindi mein be yeh sawaal poocha aur angrezi mein b. sab bashaon ke liye ek hi jawaab - safar nahi kar sakte. well said.
