RAIPUR - VIZAG - CHENNAI - NAGPUR - RAIPUR

So I was traveling to Chennai all the way from Raipur on 7th evening.

I took GS ticket of Korba Vizag Link Express and

boarded from Raipur, GS ka mahol ekdum packed to nhi tha but seat mil gyi thi. Washrooms use nhi kiya mai. Baki raat ko ticket checking to nhi hui but sube barabar ticket checking hui. Sube 8 bje tk mai Vizag station pahuch gya tha and station me brush and all kiya.

Fir suna tha ki Vizag pr Sai Ram Parlour famous hai for break fast and lunch, to waha gya tha and after that meri 2pm ko Hwh Chennai Mail me SL ticket confirm hui jb mai station gya and waha apne seat pr gya to coach bahut hi zyda packed tha kese na kese krk maine apne Side Upper Berth me bagpack rkha and so gya. (Washroom use krne layak tha but gate k pass bahut se waitlisted passengers the which made me some kind of uncomfortable to use). Day journey was good and okay. Night was little bit cautious because waitlisted passengers bahut the to chori ka darr tha baki TTEs ne ticket ko check kiya tha but waitlisted passengers ko bs ye bola ki agar reservation wala aata h to unko seat dedo and jaha khali dikh raha hai waha chale jao. Dophr and sham ko so gya tha to raat zyda nind nhi aayi kyuki 3bje station aane wala tha and raat ko to log train k floor me so gye the to movement was kind of tough.

Chennai station aane k 10min pehle sb log uth gye coach me wapis se halchal bdh gyi, outer me train ruki to thoda scary lga. Jaise hi station pahucha I did brush and all.

Fir Chennai me ek ceremony attend kiya then raat ko mera Tamil Nadu Express me SL me waiting ticket tha aur mai 2-3 saal pehle bhi is train k SL me travel krchuka tha to pta tha mahol accha rehta hai still maine AC ki waiting ticket lia kuch kuch ghante pehle ka experience bahut kharab that. Sham 6 bje Tamil Nadu express ka chart bna and mera SL ticket confirm nhi hua and AC ticket confirm hogya, Jaan me Jaan aai then raat ko station me Dinner kiya and 10 bje train Board kiya.

This time coach was clean washrooms bhi acchi hi the, is train me experience accha raha Nagpur tk maine travel kiya almost 10 min ki delay (2:00pm) me mai Nagpur pahucha. Mujhe Raipur jana tha and ek train dekha Jodhpur Puri Express jo 2:15pm ko Nagpur aati hai mai jldi jldi online general ticket book kiya and ticket ka print out nikala and ticket counter se sidhar platform 6 pr gya.

Train aai GS coach mai maine seat apna rumal de kr roka coach me thoda kum bhid tha to seat mil gyi thi. Nagpur me TTEs acche strict the 2 baar general coach me checking hui to accha lga. Train time pr chal rahi hai and I'll reach Raipur on time.

Overall Experience of my this trip was bit concerning about sleeper class, hygiene and safety of passengers in trains which runs on daily basis.

Occupancies and reserved class composition of different trains most of them are passenger converted express trains mainly to small towns.

This is almost daily scene in both up and down trips. Don't know why such low occupancy in this much demanded train of the route.

Sir
In this train majority of the pax are unauthorized they just board the train without reservation hence the online data does show the true story also after converting the waltiar passenger to express majority of pax from Bhilai & Durg are preffering that trian previously those pax used to travel by this train only. If Durg Vskp Exp is speeded up further by 2 or 3 hours then this train will loose even more pax.

Basically, Tirumala needs another RSA partner. Maybe VSKP MBNR or dare I say, AP SF, although it's very unlikely that this will happen. This train can be alloted a 16 coacher train and it will suffice.

Re# 5778725-3              
Tirumala cannot have RSA with Mahbubnagar express due to turnaround lesser time for PM/SM which requires 8 hrs including shunting into yard and PF and lates if any. MBNR arrives at 700 and has to leave by 1400 again Tirumala arrives at 1130 while MBNR leaves at 1830. Earlier Korba used to leave at 2000 was delayed to 2100 with speedup of hour in both sides to accomodate PM/SM schedules. Korba express with this configuration ran full during summer holidays and same will be during weekends. As this is full off season there won't be much demand for AC classes. First AC is totally not required as it gives 50-70% of revenue potential even when its full. Sleeper has good demand then 3AC too but they are also being reduced.

Agree
Agree with you. Also 2 trains running in less time interval have bifurcated the pax.
