[Resolved] Indian Railways - Side Middle Berth In 3rd Ac / 2nd Sleeper — side middle berth in 3rd AC/2nd sleeper | |
I recently travelled in Lokshakti Express and Holiday special train to ahmedabad in 3rd AC and 2nd class respectively, both the bogies had the newly developed side middle berth attached. apart from being extremely uncomfortable for the passengers since the berths are already small in size, they have become more smaller, the Indian Railways also does partiality in terms of givnig different facilities to passengers paying the same amount of fare. For example, there are 9 berths in one coupe in 3rd AC as well as 2nd sleeper class, if you look at the new seating arrangements, on one side 3 passengers are made to sit, on the other side 4 passengers are made to sit, and on the side upper/middle/lower side, 2 passengers are made to sit, so in all there are 9 passengers are made to sit unequally, why should 4 passengers share a seat wherein they have paid the same monies as the 3 passengers who are sharing the opposite seat??? This is absolutely not acceptable from Indian Railways. Also, while booking the new numbers are not announced so once you board the train, there is major confusion and everyone has to wait for the TT to come and assign the new numbers, 9 passengers also means increased luggage and increased capacity for toilets which get dirtier. If railways wants to continue this, then there should be separate charges based on seatnig capacities and berths assigned to passengers or there has to be a new class developed for these kind of bogies. Indian Railways also stands for good service and class with affordability, we cant lose good service and class just so that Central govt can show increased profits on Indian Railways and in the process compromise everything that Indian Railways stands for Was this information helpful? | |

Its Dangrous and life threating during accidents, very uncomfortable for all, and creates mental agaony. Not to mention the unclean toilets are more smelly and filthy now. Request everyone one who reads this to sign and endorse this complain as well
now travelling in AC is more like travelling in sleeper class. and specially this side middle berth is a . how difficult it cud be to a tall person to adjust dere. and even if they want to keep this side middle berth, then they can keep low cost for these berths..and the biggest agony is that, u book a ticket in tatkal, already paying extra money and you will get a side middle berth..not done.
and i cudnt understand why sometime thse side middle berth are functioning and sometimes not.

Rail travel used to be such a pleasure in India, expecially due to the economical fares.. now we have nothing left.. slowly the entire system is going down the drain and probably next step will be cramming the passengers in what ever open space is left till the compartments are packed air tight.
I pray that better sense prevail and may god give some brains to the administration and that they withdraw this horrendous scheme.
