Disclaimer - This post is not to hurt anyone's sentiment. I am just putting out my experience in here.
Train no.- 22537 Kushinagar Express
From - Aishbagh to Rani Kamlapati
DoJ- 07.06.22
Class...
more... - 3A
The moment I entered the coach, I could not relate if it were a 3AC coach or a General (Unreserved). 5-6 people were sitting/sleeping in the vestibule near door. Inside, all SL berths were carrying RAC passengers (2 people sleeping on 1 SLB). People were even sleeping between the berths on the floor. Under the berths, grain sacks & heavy luggage were stuffed (leaving no space for my bag). In the morning i realised that apart from RAC berths, more than 1 person was sleeping even on other berths. One family of 6 were travelling on 3 berths even though children were grown enough to be reserved on full ticket. It were like almost 120 people were travelling in a coach capable of 72 human beings. Never felt like the service you get for the1500 bucks you pay for the "comfortable" journey. More saddening to know that even TTEs looked helpless. Nightmare of an experience.
Had a better experience in Kashi, & so the poll -

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, this ain't about hurting nobody's feelings, just sharing my trip on Kushinagar Express. Got on train no. 22537 from Aishbagh to Rani Kamlapati on 07.06.22 in 3A class. As soon as I stepped in the coach, couldn't tell if it was 3AC or just unreserved. Found like 5-6 folks chillin in the vestibule near the door, and inside, all the side lower berths were taken by RAC passengers (2 peeps sharing one). People even crashed on the floor between berths! Stuff was crammed under the berths, no room for my bag. Woke up to find even more peeps hogging the berths apart from the RAC ones. One big fam of 6 hogging 3 berths, even though the kids were old enough for full tickets. It was around 120 people crammed in a coach meant for 72. Definitely didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth for the Rs 1500 "comfy" journey. And sad to see even the TTEs were helpless. Nightmare, man. Had a much better time in Kashi.
