At Solapur
Happened to speak with two old ladies from Gujarat whose seats were in the same bay of us - two Lower berths and rest UB/MB UB/MB four seats were empty.
They boarded from Surat itself.
Meanwhile a family boarded near Vasai Road
Their...
more... seats were all segragated in multiple bays
So they have forced the two old ladies to go to other bays and let them 6 to be in a single bay
The two ladies had initially refused to change the berths, because they were traveling alone and their heavy luggages were already placed under the LBs they booked
And now they had a quarel with the old ladies and helpless old ladies were insisted to swap the berths
That too it was LB and SLB
.
So the two old ladies now went to the seats which were given by the family members
The family were all now together in a bay.
The two old ladies now slept in two different seats
Train has now crossed Vasai Road.
The next two halts were technical
The immediate next halt was PUNE junction, where the train arrived 38 minutes late around 03:10
As the RTM WDM-3D chugged into platform number 6 many passengers boarded at Pune Junction and they were in search of their respective seats.
Now a young men whose seat was reserved and it was the same seat to the one which one among the old ladies were sleeping.
Here the bitter truth is , the seats which the family asked them to go doesn't belongs to them.
The young men asked the lady to get up from his seat and she again had a quarel with that young men also.
The young men should have shifted to already empty bays, but here he had an argument with the lady.
Atlast he went to UB and slept
The old lady is now undisturbed till next morning.
The next morning when train was about to arrive Solapur, we were running before time by 15 minutes till Bala Station
As there was a block between Akkalkot Road and Nagansar, minor blocks even till Dudhni
We were halted at Bala for 90 Minutes
And as we entered Solapur the delay was increased to 95 minutes and again halted for 190 Minutes at Solapur.
Their the family got down and the old ladies retained their seats back.
It's really bad that how can family force the old ladies who were alone and helpless to change berths.
Inspite they should have gone to some other berths.
.
It's not ended up with the family, the young men who boarded at Pune also should have cooperated and taken another berth.
.
Moreover the old ladies complained the same to TT, but he also insisted to the old ladies to take another seats.
.
No one has cooperated them.
As the train departed Solapur, the old ladies were very happy and all the way till Hyderabad they were busy in reading the holy books.
