The bona fide passengers of 12842 Coromandel Express & 12515 Tiruvananthapuram-Guwahati Express had a nightmarish experience travelling on these trains. On Monday 10th October, 2011 the passengers having valid reservation for reserved coaches in these two trains had a horrid time getting on these trains as the coaches had already been occupied by passengers travelling without reservation. The incident happened at Visakhapatnam station. The bona fide passengers had to get in through the windows as those inside refused to open the gates. Inside the compartments the situation was no better. As the seats had already been occupied by unauthorized passengers, the passengers having valid reservation had a nightmarish experience. There was problem of drinking water. I really really feel sorry for these passengers who in spite of having valid reservation had to spend nightmare of a night inside reserved compartments.

Unfortunate incident --
At a station like VSKP, this problem could have been resolved.
We had read here in the past that, few bonafide passenger's seats were occupied by unauthorised people in SL. They raised a hue and cry at KUR station. Then RPF came to their rescue.

Coro, comes in early morning at 3:50-4 am. At that time we will find very less RPF in VSKP.
It happens in this route some times. Hwh-Vskp route have these type of issues.

The same thing happened in Konark express at vishakapatnam on sunday night, where unreserved passengers boarded sleeper class coaches
if you want that the RPF reaches u in no time .. PULL THE CHAIN. Its legal if you pull the chain in such cases... Once told by a TTE of Konkan route . RPF will rush to you in no time and then all the reserved people should stand UNITED and raise the voice...
