Train Travel Tips
Page# 5 travel tips
This train is literally a local train between Andheri and Dahanu road in sleeper class. The commuters board it from Andheri and Borivali sometimes making it difficult for the people with reservation to board this train. Once they enter they utilize each and every empty space in the coach from upper berth to 2-3 people sitting on the side upper berth as well and I don't need to explain the condition of the lower berth. Sometimes the general compartments are less crowded than sleeper class.
Once I asked a daily commuter of the Flying Rani that why do daily commuters of trains like the Flying Rani, Lok Shakti, Kutch & other trains do daadaagiri & harass reserved passengers, he replied "see, Mumbai is the economical & financial capital of India, many people have left their native places & home towns & have settled in Mumbai for job opportunities & businesses you know, now in the morning time full Mumbai gets up & catches local train to go their offices & in the evening they return but the problem is that the western line of local trains start from ChurchGate & ends @ Virar so people living in Virar & south will have no issues but what about the people who are living beyond Virar, if this was in once in 6 months or a year or two than we would have been the same as reserved...

Railways should increase the frequency of churchgate dahanu road local to solve this problem
This is the second most sought out train of daily mst holders after flying ranee,to travel from mumbai/mumbai suburbs to gujrat.
Just beware of boarding from bandra,bcoz after that this halts like a fast local at stations andheri,borivali,virar, dahanu,palghar,boisar, vapi,valsad till surat. After surat only,u will get ur full so called reserved seat. Till then,u hav to share ur seat with these pass holders. I dnt knw abt a.c coaches,but sleeper class,its condition is pathetic.

Only book Sleeper tickets in this train for ADI, if you dont get any in the other trains.....
If want to travel overnight to adi,then prefer "The Mighty Mails"..
You forget saphale, the most notorious for passholders in this train after Virar
Railways should do smthng about this dabangai..i had heard that even mst holders board 3rd a.c of ak rajdhani. Is it true ?
Aisa Sunne me toh aaya hai.........Jab tak ek Baar Khud travel nahi Karunga Tab tak Yakeen Nahi Karunga
Yaaa...fully agree wid u...bt agar aisa hota hai,then its too much bad. What impression WR is showing to the people ??
You are correct. But also let us know what MST holders living beyond Virar should do. The last EMU for Dahanu is at 6 pm from Dadar.
Their is news that halt of lokshakti exp at virar will remove if this happen the MST holders who travel from andheri to virar in Sleeper coaches wont come.
It is true since people living beyond virar have no option to travel in this train as we dont have train to travel from andheri to palghar. This is because virar public board in unreserved coaches and do dadagiri even they have so many emu's

MST holder travel in sleeper class is common in this.. once i had booked to adi and got SU seat & SL seat is for one aged ladies.. we both from borivali. but when we board at borivali already 2 persons seated in side lower and 2 on side upper.. when we ask for our seat one from side upper come down and seat in side lower and when ask aged ladies as she can not seat for long time they give pathentic answer as SHE CAN NOT SLEEP AS SLEEPING TIME IN COACH FROM 10.00PM AND same replay to me who seated on side upper... it is ok to seat for me till dahanu road .. but they dont even thought about aged ladies and don't give seat to sleep...
This train is treated as local train by commuters residing in North Mumbai.
Complaints fall on deaf ears because the perpetrators travel daily and do so in groups while long distance passengers (who rightfully complain against this) travel once in a while and are usually alone.

This train is literally becomes a local train between Andheri and Dahanu in sleeper class. A huge number of commuters board it from Andheri and Borivali sometimes making it difficult for reserved passengers to board as well. Once they enter they utilize each and every empty space in the coach from upper berth to 2-3 people sitting on the side upper berth as well.

This was on mobile and it happened like that, but what makes you be so negative? Anything personal?
What you posted initially is definitely correct... but repeating in two more posts is not serving purpose...
If everyone is venting their anger by posting repetitive posts, the site will look like gathering of SPAMMERS.
You have valid anger against IR and their serives ...

When I have written that it was due to mobile and these things happen when posting from mobile, you still are sticking to your position which is giving a sense that you are looking for footage.
