i have booked tickets to tirupathi by Bhubaneswar tirupathi express. However, even though i booked 2 months in advance out of 10 berths booked and 8 females in it, not a single lower berth was alloted., which i find quite strange from Visakhpatnam.
it baffles me, i have no answer for my folks too. how is the logic given inspite of so many announcements that females will be alloted lower berths.
Return is from renigunta to vizianagaram by yesvantapur howrah durunto. I have 2 questions. how is the

food inside the train? as it is already included in train fare, some of them have been suggesting to go with pvt vendor travel khana, which i am sure will charge me extra, if booked separately.
Likewise, somebody was suggesting that the train stops very briefly for change of guard in simhachalam north station,is it true, no mention any where though, so vizag passengers at times alight there?? is there any transport and safe to drop down at 330 am in morning at simhachalam?
Can somebody throw light on the above pl???
Thanks

Just for information, the train did stop at simachalam sharp at 330, when it reached. Passenger can go down, else opt vizianagaram. B1 coach was worst coach, old water leaking from overhead tank near toilets. Night after catering you are supposed to tip bedsheets supplier, food supplier separately,. Expect 50 rs

Check whether the train you booked from vskp to tpty is in general quota and how many berths are vacant at the time if booking. If they are less or if its in quota system then u I'll not get lower berths. Its not safe to alight at simhachalam north at 3 30 unearthly hours as there is no platform and transport facility from there that too with women and not a daily user of that station. Ordering food by apps I'll costs you 150-200 per person per meal and its multicusine menu.

You need to use Lower Berth quota. To use that, only 2 persons in 1 PNR should be booked. That means you should book separately. Otherwise, the system will provide the berths on its own.
