Bhrigu Express: बलिया की आन बान और शान , भृगु एक्सप्रेस है तुम्हारा नाम। हर रविवार तुमसे मिलना है मेरा काम। - Shanzil Kabir

Had not so pleasant experience while travelling on 22692 SBC Rajdhani. Had a 2AC ticket from ATP to SBC. When the train arrived there was no staff to open the gate to receive me. Had to run across few bogies and managed to wake up the Pantry staff who took their sweet time to get up remove the crates from the entry/exit point and then by the they managed to open the door the train started along. Just managed to board while the train was in motion.
To my surprise I couldn't find my bedding and tracing both the attendant and the TTE proved futile. Had managed to lie down with used sheet. Around 6 am the attendant showed up & sheepishly...

apologized. Then after repeated reminders he managed to get me the so-called free "water-bottle". Till the end I couldn't meet with the TTE, although I suspect why the attendant came and asked me to show my ticket post my confrontation with him.
The one serious safety concern that bothers me is that how can the pantry staff stack up all the crates over top of each other and block the exit. This would be of serious consequence in case of "EVAC" as the passengers would be struggling to get out. Also this particular LHB compartment was pitch dark that it was very difficult to even trace out the berths.
I had lodged a complaint with the Railways. Look forward to receiving a response. I thought of posting my experience on this site for the benefit of other rail-fans. If this can happen on a premier train like Rajdhani not sure how passengers other trains are treated especially if one needs to board the train in the middle of the night.
