Sir / Madam,

Am Archana working in an MNC. The condition of the stations like Taramani and Thiruvanmayur is going worse day by day. Especially in Taramani we were not able to walk in the ground floor.

Do please consider this issue and we would be thankul if you take any steps to improve it....

Hi Sir,

In Cuddalore, we have waited almost 4 to 5 years to complete the track expansion.
During that time, we suffered lot due to this construction.

After completion of this track expansion, important express trains are not stopping here. Even though Cuddalore is District capital, they are not stopping here.

The private buses are charging heavily also packing more crowd for a trip and taking their own time. Please...

But there was no TTE in that compartment. Later he found 2 other TTE s sitting in S3 after completing their work. Train is just reaching Arakonam by that time.

Hi All,

Am seriously ashamed of the Railway Systems available between Madras Beach to Chengelpet.

The Hon. Railways have scheduled restricted Train Timings in this slot, due to infrastructure issues. We the commuters without any option try and use the best of this available.

The challenge is, the timing of TRAINS are just at the disposal of Railway Authoiries. Worse, the Trains run 30 minutes...

My train (no-2430) on 3rd oct2009 was got cancelled. I filed the TDR with reason as Train canceled. The Status currently showing as GGM approved and I got only 636/- only refunded, where the total price of the ticket was 6360/-. So as per the rule total amount should be refunded as the train got cancelled.
Could you please recheck the same and do the needful to return the total amount.
I'm giving all the train details below....

At the city railway station the charges for 2-wheeler parking between 0 - 2 hours is printed at Rs 3 on the board whereas the same is not published on the ticket issued for parking. The attender does not agree to take any amount less than Rs 5 at the parking lot.

The number of 2-wheelers parking at the railway station every day will be humungous and collecting Rs 2 extra from every vehicle is a big money.

Why...

A friend of mine and I were travelling in Pandian Express from Madurai to Chennai on 14th of March, 2010 in S12 (which is the last coach of reservation, after which the unreserved coach starts). Ours was the last compartment. At some station a bunch of people got into the coach and started occupying the area between the seats and the pathways. It caused incovenience to the people in the compartment in moving around and also the passengers...

It is many months since the equipment for indicating train numbers and coach positions in trains was installed at the Katpadi Railway Station. But so far all it displays are public relations announcements. Passengers are put to great inconvenience because of this. This sytem is working very well at the Bangalore Cantonemnt station, much to satisfaction of the passengers. It is a pity that this infrastructure installed at great cost does not...

Sir/Madam,
I travelled two tier AC coach (A2) from Aluva to Chennai by Train # 6042 Allepey Chennai express on 03-Feb-2010. I and my co-passengers had a bad experience to see cockroaches and rats running everywhere. We had no option but to be accomodated and sleep along with these creatures, with the fear that something will get into our ears and or probably bite us during our sleep. Infact it is written by someone inside the coach...
