The AC II tier and III tier coaches of 11023 Sahyadri Exp from CSTM to KOP is unique vis-a-vis reservation system. Anybody and everybody without a valid authorization or reservation can, not only get into this train, but also can sit in any seat of any genuine passenger. And the persons having the demurity to this act are none other than the railway officials, some in senior post. If this cannot be digested, I inivite and prompt those of you, who can visit CSTM at 1740 (Train departs at 1750 hrs) and get into the ACII / III tier coach and witness the act of these officials sitting / getting into each conceivable place.. which could be lower, upper or side lower or upper berths. Not only that... these persons also some times end up using the linen meant for genuine passengers' night travel. ...

And this unauthrorised travel can be witness upto Pune from Mumbai CST !! This is a daily occurance and the seniors to these senior officers have tried to restore law, but till date, there has been no appreciable change. The train timings are also such that, it suits these officials. There is another train which faces the same fate... Panchavati Express. I have experiencing this for the last 6 years and it only gets worse.
