I once went via Gomti from Lucknow to Delhi in 1A [the only time I splurged on First AC] and was allotted the prime berth - lower in a coupe. Co-incidentally, the singular HA1 coach is the only one in the entire train that is not encroached upon[even CC has overstuffed passengers], if you discount the guy who boarded 1A from Kanpur outers to Kanpur Central couple of kms away :p.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    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.
