Hi,
I had travelled by this train from Dadar to Nasik Road on 31st May, 2010 evening. The train is quite punctual.Started from Dadar and reached Nashik Road on time.
The only unfortunate part was, to see mannyyyy cockroaches in the AC C1 coach (may be the situation of C2/C3 coaches could be same). It was difficult to sit in the ac coach of Panchavati. There was no attendant to complain about this situation.
We...
more... tried complaining to TCs but it was invain. There were so many small cockroaches that everyone was unable to sit, eat (forget about slipping).
I request Railways to make note of this. There are so many trains running on Indian railways and I personally have travelled by many trains. If we see 1 or 2 cockroaches in the train journey, we dont feel much and we dont even remeber it later. But in Panchavati there were hundreds of them.
IR Please Please make note of it, else its tough to travel.
Thanks,
Yogesh Samant
