What to expect when you are about to travel in first class.
While booking I was very excited when I was asked the seat preference and I happily selected a coupe. But, when I arrived at my coach what I saw was shocking, my coach FC1 was a 1997 made sleeper coach converted into a 2×2 chair car.
The seats did not had any table attached to it and in the entire coach there were only 4 charging points near the doors, seats also had levers which are used to adjust the...
more... reclining seat but the lever present just were just for display purpose as it didn't move an inch.
Fare of AC chair car is cheaper than this fake first class.
In terms of comfort Karnavati LHB 2S second sitting is more comfortable than this 2×2 chair car disguised as first class and one can travel at just Rs 180 between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
At least I am thankful that I didn't get a general compartment in the name of first class which is there in Bandra Surat Intercity.
At least railways should change the seat preference option as whatever asked in the options does not exist in the real life.
God knows what our great Indian railways thinks before doing such act.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, check this out! Let me tell you what went down when I was about to fly high in first class, man. When I was booking my ticket, I got super pumped when they asked me about my seat preference. I happily chose a coupe, thinking I was in for a fancy ride. But when I actually got on the train, damn, it was a whole different story, bro. The coach I was in, FC1, was actually a crummy old sleeper coach from 1997 that they just converted into a 2x2 chair car. Talk about a bait and switch, bro!
First of all, the seats were a joke. No tables attached to them, and only 4 charging points in the whole coach, all near the doors. And get this, the seats had these levers that were supposed to adjust the reclining angle, but man, they were just for show! Didn't move an inch. Can you believe that?
And get this, the price for this fake first class is even more expensive than the AC chair car, which is actually more legit and cheaper. Like, what a ripoff, right? I swear, the second-class seating in the Karnavati LHB 2S is way more comfortable than this phony first class. And for just Rs 180, you can travel between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, man, no joke.
Thank goodness I didn't end up in a regular old compartment that they try to pass off as first class, like they do on the Bandra Surat Intercity. At least they could change the seat preference options to reflect the actual reality, you know? I mean, what the heck is our beloved Indian railways thinking when they pull off stunts like this? It's mind-boggling, bro.
