Superfast12121 89 blog postsTaken at Mumbai Cental while waiting to depart on IRCTC Tejas Express. Likely the last remaining non AC double decker coaches. Absolutely lovely paint job. Anyway have an idea on why 1st class travel is a "Vice" ?
Because earlier there were "Actual and real" First Class coaches, 2 coaches of Non Ac Cabins/Sleepers berths and 1 with EC type 2x2 recliner seats also Non AC . But as these were made in aroound 1990-1995 these coaches were removed after 25 years and were replaced by normal General class coaches under the name "Vice First Class" So Vice as in, "Its not first class but assume it as first class"
All 3 FC coaches were and currently are Non reserved and MST only

I did not knew that non AC double decker trains ran on the tracks. Also, I like the livery on the coaches.
