i read here in this forum the moment HWH MAS mail comes in at MAS in the morning there is a scramble for seats in the coromandel due for morning. Are the reserved compartments of sleeper too subject to this. How about the AC III tier. Is there no control on NE bound trains.

Re# 654756-3              
thanks sir, it is panicky. Twenty years ago i used to go by TVC GHY and CORO to NJP or HWH by SL class. It was fun and there was no encroachment. The train journey had a quality to it. I used to encounter this problem in NJP to Delhi Tinsukia mail AKA brahmaputra mail where in the evening hours between 3 to 5 pm bihari passengers used to travel between arrah and patna. They insist that the reserved sleeping passengers get up to make way. I was a small boy and i got outraged and blasted them, the next moment the entire crowd of biharis pounced on me verbally and wanted to drag me to the platform and were talking about human feeeelingzzzz. All because one of them insisted my mother who was asleep get up to make way for UR passengers. Really this infection has spread to SER trains....

My further onward journey is from HWH to NJP by kamrup III AC. I hear negative reports about it too. I am planning to book by HWH NJP shatabdi. Thanks.

What negative report you have got?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rush in Kamrup Express is as this is the only train from Howrah to Upper Assam and touching North East States, leaving newly introduced Kolkata - Dibrugarh Weekly SF Express/12525...
Many people en-route to Upper Assam from Southern and Eastern part of Indian take this train from Howrah...
So
...
more...
if their ticket is not confirmed they have no other choice left, they board the train...
Even i have seen many army personal taking this train...
Either Railways added more coaches to this train or increase the frequency of Kolkata - Dibrugarh Weekly SF else the problem
will persist...
Good Railway connectivity what is required for Upper Assam...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Travelling from Kolkata to Siliguri is not at all a problem, their are many ways...
Day train, Night Train, Bus Service, Flight Service which ever way fit you...
As you have mentioned you will be booking ticket in HWH - NJP Shatabdi Express i hope you will be having a comfort journey...
