[Resolved]  Southern Railway — First class season ticket (superfast express)

Address:

Vellore, Tamil Nadu

Dear sir, My name is Anand Asir. My usual commuting will be between arakkonam and velacherry. Because of over crowd I have taken first class super fast season. Today[protected] I was traveling in Mangalore super fast express(12601) from chennai central. I went inside and asked politely to the reserved passengers to permit me to sit in the seat. Since there were only three persons in that room they allowed me to sit in the remaining person's seat. When TTE came he asked me and I said to him about my season ticket details and my commuting to arakkonam. But he replied that it is only belongs to reserved passengers and I want to go to unreserved first class in the same train. I wondered as a TTE how he was not aware that there is only reserved first class in the super fast trains. In some of the express trains nowadays these compartments are getting removed and without having any other option we are forced to travel in sleeper coaches. I don't like to argue more so I came out as he told. My question is this sir that is there any specific unreserved first class in super fast express trains? If not means why they are not allowing us to travel in the same compartment if it is having some seats unoccupied? We paid rs.2275 for getting the super fast first class season. There is also a normal first class ticket to travel in ordinary EMU trains but then what is the meaning of getting this super fast first class season? Southern railway can stop issuing these tickets. I kindly request you to look into the above issue sir so that it will be helpful for all the season ticket holders. Looking forward for your reply sir.
