[Resolved]  Southern Railway — AC 2 tier - trivandrum to tirupati - sabari express

Address:

Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh

My wife who travelled alone in the 2 tier AC coach in Sabari Express on 16/10/2013 had the following experience, which in her own words is as follows: Dear Sir, " I have travelled in Second AC from Trivandrum Central to Tirupati on 16th instant and would like to narrate my travelling experience. An ex-state minister, who boarded the train at TVMCentral, was accorded royal welcome and comforted to no end by the staff on duty. The TTE, the AC coach attendant and some other staff were falling head over heals in trying to please the VIP to the chagrin of other travellers. The bed linen was given to me (that too a pillow without pillow case) after 10 hours of journey whereas this VIP was provided with everything in doubles soon after getting into the train. Being a patient myself, I had to keep pleading for bed sheets, a rug and a pillow. Your staff were so busy with the VIP that other ticket-buying passengers probably seemed like termites to them. This brazen show of sycophancy by a public servant while on duty to the political bosses is nauseating and must be dealt with sternly. Although I do not expect an overnight change in this kind of attitude, as it is an individual's trait, please ask the railway staff to be courteous and show concern for other passengers too at the same time."
