This is a horrible train to travel on, with reference to the gentry per se. I went to see off my wife at New Delhi station on 10/11/12, booked a 3AC [confirmed ticket], and for a moment I thought, I was standing on the entrance of a IInd class coach without any reservation. Whaat a nightmare, I had. It took me nearly 10 mins to get my foothold on the coach, now you can understand my anxiety, as the scheduled stoppage time of this train is of 15 mins. As a result, I lost my cool, my temper and started to push people I had to, just to get her inside, the train, which was hopelessly...

Hello Ranjeet,
At the outset, many thanks for taking your time out to actually go through my case. I have nothing more to say other than the fact, that I completely agree in verbatim on what you have replied.
In retrospect, I have a learnt a pretty valuable lesson to avoid the SL class with special reference to fares!!

I had fancied Garib Rath, and once booked from ERS to LTT, in Kochuveli-Mumbai LTT Garib Rath Express/12202... But experience was so bad. Even Sitting class was in worse condition.
When I boarded the train, my berth was occupied by an extra passenger and that was an elderly lady going with group. She had not even WL ticket, but had purchased on last day of travel. and TTE never came to check. Whole night was spent listening their 'chattering'. Day time was passed in squeezed sitting. an they carried lots of luggage... the compartment of Eight berth looked like a mini cloak room....

Hello Kishor,
Now that's a first!!! Honestly!! Till now I only had the feeling that the Eastern and the North sector was a one off situation, in the worsening situation of this train. It however, now seems that, this happens to be a pan Indian case!!
Once again, sorry to learn your plight too!!

And out of curiosity, and to verify how the Seating is in GR, I passed through 4-5 boggy's vestibules, and saw from the 'glass door' that separated Seaters from Berthers,
Leg spaces were not comfortable, and
Seats too seemed not too cushioned. I do not remember whether there was any cushion or only ply wood?
But I could see that Garibs are made...

Hello Kishor,
Its the only train that is really living up to its name: "Poor Man's Chariot", or "Poor Man's Rajdhani"!!
