I am a frequent traveller by this train from the Karmali station. During my journey on this route I have noticed that the train runs peacefully, without much of wait listed/general ticket passengers up to Chiplun, and once the train reaches Khed, lot of passengers with general compartment ticket enter the sleeper class and argue with the reservation passengers. They literally force the passengers to seat, if they are sleeping. They do not allow 3 people to occupy one seat, specially some of the gent passengers pass comments, make fun, and finally six to seven people adjust themselves onto a seat. They climb the upper birth and seat there. They block the way to toilet, even stand in the space between the seats. All the requests fall on the deaf years and the journey from Khed till mumbai becomes a nightmare.
and after Khed no ticket checker is ever seen. The crowd is so bad, that there is fear that someone can die due to suffocation. The ticket charges for sleeper class are same as night train, but most of the passengers, can neither sleep nor seat comfortably after Khed.
Please help the long distance passengers with confirmed tickets to enjoy a comfortable journey, by taking strict and immediate action on this problem. Was this information helpful? |
