Re# 1147084-1              
Sincere request to anybody who wants to travel in this train in SL class with family - PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL! I have reached VSKP station at 3:20 p.m only to know that the train is late by 2 hours - after the long wait - the devil has arrived! First shock - no numbering on the SL coaches ( i was told that the boards are taken off at start of run). Second shock- the SL compartments are worse than General compartments at the first look!
I somehow found out my coach (S7) and boarded - only to find more than 200 people ( mostly from assam and howrah) in a compartment that is meant for 72! I was also
...
more...
told that the TTE would not board the SL coaches! After the horrifying stay for 5 mins - i decided that it is not safe to travel with my wife and got off the train - booked a bus ticket for the next day and said a good bye!
With all due respect to my brothers from assam and howrah - Indian Railways- please wake up - bullet trains are very far --- please try maintaining standards in current trains!
Again- family people - only opt for 3A ( this train has 7 3a coaches!) else choose a different train (prashanti or break journey in seshadri from Samalkot).

For travellers from Bangalore to Vskp - good train if you have immediate plans - connecting train at Samalkot ( Tirumala express) - Chances of getting confirmed are high even if you have a waitlisted ticket.

    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...
