Rockfort Express: திருச்சி அவனது கோட்டை, இரவில் சென்னை வரை வேட்டை, அவன் தான் மலைக்கோட்டை. - Vijay Baradwaj

once we had planned our return journey from TPTY to MDU via MAS.....we booked AC CC in 16058 saptagiri exp to MAS....this journey went well and reached MAS at 22.25....we planned this trip on rainy season....due to heavy rain in chennai all trains that end up with MAS got delayed (kovai, MYS MAS shatabdi, brindavan etc)...MDU duronto exp is scheduled to depart at 22.30 from MAS....but due to rain all trains got delayed....after we dropped down at MAS we hurried up to get into MDU duranto....but at 22.40 only the train being shunted from yard to platform.....then we boarded the train and the train departed at 23.15.....for me SL berth allotted and the worst part is rain water came inside our coach thro all window gaps (its a 3AC coach).....we had complained TTE but he told that all the coaches are like this.....now nothing can be done....he said like this and...
more...

went off.....that journey was also went sleepless for me.....they r charging heavy fare even in 3AC....and they r linking these used very old coaches....even during festival times this train wont get filled up....all passengers preferring bus instead of gng by this train....my suggestion is they should replace these old coaches with new LHB coaches....!! do u all agree with it...!!
