Feeling bored in the Train - talk to a RailFan. You'll WISH the train gets late.

I am horrified by this train. There were beggars too in E1 coach. Each and every coach is broken. Toilets and even compartments are full of cockroaches and rats. Cockroach fell in my worst soup they serve at Gulbarga station. In coach C7 there were no attendents to serve food until Wadi (I boarded at SC). After a lot of fighting they gave food. Food..oh God it was horrible. I fell very sick after eating it. TT took bribes (no receipts) from some passengers (Rs. 500 each) so that they could travel in the train between Solapur and Gulbarga. I guess TT made about 10 to 20 thousand rupees that day as one of the coacj was empty. There is absolutley no system in this country. Government (in this case railways can increase fare or give us daal which is only flavoured curry water and zero daal) and make uspay shatabdi...

charges and get away with it. Pune SC shatabdi is worst train ever. Even slower trains like Husain sagar and Mumbai express are posh as compared to this wretched Shatabdi. (I am reposting this comment as I am furious with the hopelessness and curroption in India)
