Agree
Visakhapatnam Chennai exp RSA with Paradip and Kurnool ICF rake. Most of the coaches are 2004, 2005, 2007 make and have to be scrapped in next POH date. Could see one ICF coach of 2017 make which will be in service for another 10yrs.

These are the most worst coaches exterior look I have seen. Even LHB coaches of Vskp division looked worse from outside which I spotted yesterday.
