Re# 1031744-16              
I travelled in DD from SBC to MAS train is suitable for people travelling to offices with just hand luggage like laptop, backpack, small briefcase for short distances like 200-350kms. Seats are not comfortable as they are stiff without cushion and no pushback. People travelling in AC class min expect seats in buses with pushback and cushion. Legspace is ok for 5.7-6.0 ft but again no footrest. height of the cabin is less only suitable for less then 5.9ft others have to bend in lower and upper middle decks and even when getting out of the window seat we need to bend otherwise will hit luggage rack above. It may be commercially viable if it runs with 10CC (1200 seats) with avg occupancy of 75-80%. Railways should do costing analysis for such high end trains and fix fares as each coach is RS2.5Cr ( correct me If I am wrong)....

I feel fares to be cut by 10% with improved seating and speeded up. SBC-MAS 5hr 30min and its capable of doing that. It took 5hr 40min still regulated at perambur of 10min.
