Just to share my observations of my recent 1AC journey:
1. LHB coach tend to be quite noisy & rattily at high speed and not that soundproof when compared with ICF coach.
2. Jerks observed during braking/acceleration.
3. Cabin window small & misaligned with respect to seat position. You need to lean forward for looking outside - not good for rail fanning.
4.

Berth alignment bit lower when compared with ICF coach.
5. Storage area absent.
6. Flimsy plastic table.
7. Toilet/WC smaller than ICF coach.
8. Food was good. Very cordial catering staff / TTE.
9. Very good run by WDP3A loco which hauled upto BRC.
Any comments?

Jerks are common in LHB, it is because of CBC coupling. Hope railway comes with solution soon. Even ICF rake with CBC have same problem.

I am surprised when you mentioned that food was good along with a cordial catering staff. I have travelled by this train 2-3 times and found food to be not upto rajdhani standards. I believe the numerous complaints from passengers might have made the difference. Good to hear about the change though. Hope it continues

I agree with u on food because even when i went in TVC Rajdhani in December the food was exceptionally good with cordial staff. TVC Rajdhani food ahs definately changed for good.

During one of my trips I had a wierd experience:
A fellow & his mother boarded my cabin early morning with a huge dog, without a luggage ticket, as he had no idea on IR rules and started arguing with me. I insisted that he cannot travel this way, catering staff also objected as they were scared of the dog leading to a complete chaos in the coach. In the end this fellow pleaded with passengers of other coupe to exchange seats.
TTE turned up several hours after we solved problem mutually. TTE

was scared of loosing his job if the matter was reported to higher authorities as the fellow was a spoilt son of someone "high". He also told there are cases of drunk passengers which is on the rise in trains with 1AC especially on KR.
