Dear Railways

This is to bring to your notice about the apathetic attitude and service on train Number 2625 – Boarder Trivandrum , on[protected] to Delhi 7-09-10.The I ssue is regarding the unserviceable condition of AC system on coach B1.From 5th September – 2010 11.30 am to 6th September – 8.30 pm 2010 .

Despite repeated reminders to the B1 coach attendant , nothing more than careless argumentative attitude was displayed. The staff blind response was ,” Every thing is working fine” when in reality passengers where sweating and suffocating. The AC supervisor was unavailable when the passengers sought his presence. And When the issue was conveyed he was unresponsive. When the issue was escalated to the TTE on 6th ..there was luke warm response and nothing done.

During all this time passengers were suffocating and sweating due to the AC not working. When frustrated passengers sought explanation and resolution from the staff on duty and the TTE , then the matters was conveyed to the Nagpur Station by the TTE and things were temporarily resolved by the engineer at Nagpur station ,after a full 32 hours of repeated complaints and desperate requests by the passengers to the Staff and TTE.

We the passengers of coach B1 , Train 2625 , aboard have been pained about callousness of the staff and the journey turning out to be suffocating and unpleasant . We request you to look into this matter seriously, take action deemed necessary against the staff and to avoid repeat of any such callous attitude or such unpleasant event in future and make Indian Railways a more customer sensitive and professional organisation .



Please find attached the written complaint with the PNR details of the passengers.

I always book my train tickets through IRCTC - irctc.co.in. 2 months back i was not able to travel also i forgot to cancel the ticket, after that i file a TDR against it. 2 weeks back i got a mail says that "your account has been suspended, Due to fake TDR file". I was totally shocked, till no i have booked so many tickets for myself and my parents for the next 3 months in irctc, even i didn't took any printout of those tickets.

Since i have contact customer care over 15 times and also sent more that 10 emails. Till now i didn't got any responce. Most of the time lines are busy suppose if they attent also not giving proper responce.

Already i have missed 2 travel not being login to account.

I am Amol Thakur,one of passenger used to travel by Indian Railways.
Its my complaint that at the time of booking of tiket by first class,Railways will not declare exact cuppe number,even when requested by passenger and his requirement for family.If passenger will travel by air and booked ticket in executive/bussiness/'J'class seat number and class will be expressed on ticket or booking voucher,while boarding or desembarcation assitance will be provided.
But when passenger will travel by railways evan in first class(fair almost eual to air fair),cuppe code or number will not be declare.It is very deficult to find or adjust with other co passenger when we will travel on special medicaton and care.
Its my hearty request to look into the matter,in the interest of passengers and do the needfull and give desired cuppe on request.
Thanks.

Dear Sir,

Toilet is not cleaned and smells so badly that it is not cleaned since a long back.Is RAILWAYS so inefficient that it cannot arrange for cleanliness & hygiene at least in AC coaches? Also, I would like to tell u that birth lights are not in working condition in AC-2 coaches. Will u please arrange 4 it and oblige your customers?
Thanking u 4 nothing!

TT did not listen any thing perhaps they have a valid tickets but TT don't want to listen anything used non standard languages...
They have tickets but TT compel them to leave the bogy...
at last finding no way MOM and Sister go down with Bag and Suitcase and some how come at Malda by sitting on General class.. My MOM is a hart patient...


Thank God that they are safe.

I know the reason TT found that its a good chance to earn some black money... which TT are usually do...

Earning is Good but exchange of life is not good we should stop this

Is there any way to stop this?????

Dear sir,

The platform in the Banaswadi railway station, Bangalore is too short that many times passengers from express trains have to get down to the unhygenic and dangerous areas near the track. Please note that this station is very convenient for majority of the people from the city central. I humbly request you to either extend the platform or atleast clean the areas near the station so that passengers can safely get down there.

This may be relevant for many other small stations where a high number of people may be using the station but the platform may be too short. I request railways to consider this matter.

Thanks.

Dear Sir,

When I was travelling from SURAT to Mumbai on 27th August 2010 in 2010 Up Shatabdi Express, There are lots of Passangers Travelling in Corridor of most of the coaches
When I ask TTE, whether it is allowed to Travel like this on Wait List Ticket in Corrisors, He says Yes, I have asked Him Whether you have charged any Fine on them, He says No, I have not charged any fine.

This is pure case of Bribery, where regular Passangers from Surat and Vapi, comes and pay monthly amount to TTE and travel on Board in Train Like Shatabdi Express.

Whether Western railway Will reply , TTE Name is Sudhir Kumar

sir,

recently i.e on 20th August 2010, i have travelled with my family on Nizamuddin-visakhapatnam Link express and came at Rajahmundry railway station for boarding. the train came around 9.50 am. The halt is 2 mins. i am travelling with 3 suitcases, wife, daughter. I made reservation in S-9. After train comes i approached the concerned S-9 coach. unfortunetly the said coach was locked by some unthorised passengers. i looked for assistance. No GRP/RPF found in platform number 3. similarly i enquired about TTE. No TTE is there at S-9. in the mean while train started. i along with family rushed with huge luggage to 3 A/C compartment. I found one TTE sitting in that compartment. I asked about the joining details pertaining to me in S-9. The TTE said that he is helpless. TTE is on duty from Vijayawada to Visakhapatnam on that day.According to him that there were no other TTEs for that day. He asked to pay the differential amount and i paid the fees and taken receipt. in that peak joining i lost my brasslet worth 12 thousand. i complained to The GM, Railway Minister, DRMs, CTI and others. i am waiting for the reply. i went to visakhapatnam for my daughters ill health (to see the doctor). i request concerned official to make arrangements to safe guard the passengers.

This is not the first time I m facing the problem. IT is a regular problem with the train.

I request you to please take action and keep check.

Sir/Madam

Indian railways introduced Tatkal system for the people who suddenly plans a travel.

But during peak days when we go to reservation counters TATKAL Quota will be compleated with in 5 minutes after starting reservation at 8 am,

I went to reservation counter 2 days back. Actual availability of tatkal for GOWTAMI Express was 302 seats. But immediately after reservation opening at 8 am It showing availability as 100. with in 3 to 5 minutes those 100 tickets also compleating.

How it is possible? there are no other ways Online booking Server will be busy up to 9am every day so there is no possibility of booking througn online for a normal person.(even in high speed broad band).

And reservation available only at stations. Even in those stations about 2 persons getting reserved. What About Others.

If we go to Rail Agents Each are having hundreds of tickets. selling them in black about 200 rupees extra.

Please consider this application and take necessary action.

Thank You
