General passengers are entering to reservation bogies from kazipet & janagom stn. That is rally bad. Some times theft may happens. Those general passengers are sitting in our berths without asking permission by the time we are in deep sleep. IndianRail Police/ TC's should concentrate on this ASAP.

Re# 737225-3                  
There will be generally 2 to 4 RPF police persons in Sleeper classes For entire Sleeper Coaches. The one TC person will be alloted a duty of 4 Sleeper Coaches. If the TC Sleeps we cant do anything if we wants money and want to collect some amount as fine he wake up and move continously in the Coaches. Mainly many people travel daily from Kazipet To secunderabad in which some belong to Train drivers,Guards and other railway employees who have right to travel in reserved Coaches like SL && 3A Coaches without any ticket by just showing their employee card. The other are season ticket Holders and general Ticket passengars who must pay a fine if He/she boards reserved Coaches .

Its common every where in india. AT least they are taking this train for below 150 km distance only. If you see GHY bound trains from south, they travel 1000-1500 km like this.

cct.jpgrjy.jpgI really wonder, don't understand why they have changed RJY quota to PQ from General for Gauthami express. Most of the people board this train at RJY, KVR, Nidadavol and Tadepalligudem. Now Due to this change these locations are only getting 70 tickets. I have never seen tickets available for gauthami when you book tickets 2 weeks prior to the date of journey, but due to this change I could see availability from CCT.
Any idea why this change have me made?

Re# 698816-1                  
Maybe, to push the patronage of the new Cocanada express. Also, RJY faces a lot of pressure from COA.
But never knew it happens in SCR too.

Re# 698816-2                  
But they should consider that Cocanada is not a daily train and that too it will run via Bimavaram, they are not even considering Tadepalligudem as well. Gauthami has got good patronage in this route and if they are giving less seats to this locations will some this lead to less patronage as tickets are always available from CCT. I could even see RAC status from CCT for today's journey

I feel pity for RJY. It should have been in GN.
Cocanada is not a daily train and doesn''t have SL coaches too.

NDD is a important junction and nearly 50 near by villages depend on this station for travelling.Many people daily travel to hyderabad in goutami express. From past few days I noticed that reservation quato alloted to goutami express has changed from general location quato to pooled quato. now the available tickets has been decreased to 400 to 40(approx). The other nearby stations line rajahmundry,eluru(distict head quater) has also fallen under pooled quato. Now for nearly 4 important stations there are only 40 tickets. The train main purpose is to serve east and west godavari dists. Now this train is serving only for orginating station kakinada. i would like to know on what criteria they had suddenly changed the quato with out starting any new train to compensate this change.Well one new express i.e cocanada express is running weekly thrice. But is serves only AC passengers and that is not stopping...

at nidadavole station. I noticed that any new train orginating from kakinada or vishakaptnam is not stopping at nidadavole to my suprise these are stoping at nearby staions which are smaller than nidadavole. this is making inconviniance to near by villages. they have to travel long distance to catch the train having an important station nearby

Re# 698816-8                  
Totally absurd!!! I mean....earlier when the quota was under GNWL booking a ticket was almost impossible now it's improbable and as pointed by the bloggers here this train is primarily meant to serve the East and West so the decision looks even more baffling.

In SC no, coz its C&W is kakinada port..They clean it on PF and take the rake out to Hafizpet or lingampalli stations(some 15-20 kms away) for parking..Rake stays there till a hour before departure time from SC or so..
Most Zones dont even do cleaning for trains of other divisions/Zones, SCR is an exception though..
