Kolkata Metro: The only Metro of IR. কলকাতা মেট্রো : তিলোত্তমার জীবন রেখা ।। - PPG

This train is getting worse day by day. On 12th Dec I traveled by this train from YPR to BLS. This was my second journey. First time I traveled by this train in Jun2014 when it was recently introduced. What I saw was steep degradation in the maintenance of this train. This time I chose 3AC against 2AC. The cleanliness was pathetic. Bad is not over yet... The sewage tank of next ahead coach of my coach was leaking spreading its ''fragrance'' to following coaches. Those people enjoying the ride by standing on the door were also getting shower of this leaking tank. I got the side upper berth. When I woke up in the morning from my birth what I observed that within 7 hrs my cream yellow T-shirt completely turned black in one side. The reason...air duct was also faulty and was unable to filter the air. This...

was the reason that when I came to my berth after boarding the train, it was too dusty and I had to clean it myself. The toilets were also dirty and chocked whit Guthka pouches, liquor bottles....!!!
When I talked with coach attendant, he told me that this train gets very less timing for cleaning. It starts on Wednesday from KYQ and arrives YPR on Friday evening. Immediately next day morning it leaves for KYQ. Since this train belongs to NFR, the maintenance at YPR is only superficial or not even that. Train reaches the KYQ on Monday afternoon. So it gets almost half Monday and full Tuesday for cleaning. Despite this, the maintenance was extremely poor.
And hold your breath.... The coach manufacturing date was Feb2014 at Raibareli. So you can imagine the ''quality'' of work by RCF. It clearly indicates what happens when RCFs are established with political motivations. We Indians are experts to spoil the German technology also....!!!
