Train number:12624 (Chennai mail)
Am traveling from tvc to mac...
Couldn't use the toilet as it is not all cleaned and due bad smelling.
Not cleaning the toilet in the correct time...
Due to bad smell from toilet couldn't have any food...
Unavailability of water...
All the pipes are damaged thus water is leaking and causing disturbance...
Please do the needful as the earliest...

I travelled by uday express on 26.12.18 from bangalore to coimbatore by uday express by ac chair car. I was surprised that the toilet in c6 which i travelled were not cleaned when the train reached bangalore as the same train departs from bangalore to coimbatore. The toilet was horrible and dirty. Secondly the sliding doors was very tight and only a wrestler could slide it open. No tea vendors are attending, i was told 3 pantry are operating, but these cheaters purposefully not keeping tea instead selling cofee full of sugar which costs rs 10 wheras tea at rs.5. No train supervisor available. Please ensure smooth sliding doors. I have made my spondolysis severe by this travel.
Please take corrective measures.

On 27 the dec 2018 i was there at ernakulam junction station at 1:15pm and the mangala express was there to leave. So i thought to take the day sleeper ticket for netravathi. But it will not be ok since the reaching time will be night. Then i had taken a normal ticket & noticed that mangala was not started. So i entered in it & seen the ttr in s4. I told the matter.& requested for sleeper ticket & told him that i am ready to pay the fine. But he behaved to me such rudely and made me to get down in aluva.& to go in netravathi. Such a shame to the indian railway to have such ttr. I wanted you to enquire & take necessary actions. Since indian railway is not anyone's private property

Dear respected,

I had booked a ticket from payyanur to ltt one month back for 26th december 2018. It's 26th today and time is 11.45. Till now no confirmation/ chart not prepared. So how can i travel? If possible what time i will be knowing??

Negligence of our railway is really a big problem for whoever booked tickets and being waiting listed.

I kindly request to refund the amount as i can't travel today even if the seat is confirming as it's already late.

Attaching the proof.

Sir, train no 17235 via bangalore to nagercoil express... There was too crowd in the hosur junction because of christmas leave...500 passengers are waiting for general compartments in hosur.. One family with two small kids were going to kovilpatti have stepped into reserved because of heavy crowd in the general there is no space to stand in general... One policemen came and scolded them.. Even though they were standing near the toilets they have tickets not travelling in without.. Policemen asked them rs.700. They have no money they cried and gave money... They have not occupied any reserved seats.. Because of heavy crowd they are supposed to do this... You can be somewhat kind to the poors... There should be some ethicial importance to this problems... Please consider this... You can increase the compartments in festival time to reduce this.

I am a passenger in train 16343, booked for[protected]. It started 2 hrs late. Now, is running 5 hrs late, and is presently stranded for past 2 hrs in a jungle place without any laminitis. Near to ernakulam town rail station. No water in coach.
Kids crying for food.
And to our surprise, we see all other trains moving through the side second track.
So, it is intentional mismanagement to ensure that other trains run on time, and improve ur statistics on delay avg.

I feel pity and totally unsatisfied with the way late trains are managed.

Him how it is possible if there is no option is available to book the ticket upto
Chennai when there is no option is there. He telling us that you have to get down at chennai egmore and buy another ticket from chennai egmore to chennai beach and he is talked very rudely and told us that why are you booking ticket by online go and book ticket by counter.

Dear sir in kadapa railway quarters boundary wall was demolished by some people and they are using it as a way to enter railway quarters and to railway station. Lot of railway property was thefted from this way and also in the night times all illegal activities are happening in quarters. Pwd department is aware of this and they are not taking any action. Request you to look to this issue and construct the damaged boundary wall. Here i am attaching the photos also for your reference.

I am a senior citizen of 73, my wife is 64. We had booked a retiring room on 8, 11, 18 online from 15th nov afternoon till 16th early morning. The booking was done by your system only up to 10. We repeatedly sent emails requesting that we wanted the reservation till next early morning. But no reply was sent. We took it for granted that that was done. But we were evacuated at night. Next early morning we had to proceed to madgaon by the passenger. We had taken an advance ticket for that. But, it was of no use for our further staying. Having had no place to sleep we went to the waiting room and lied down on the floor. Police asked us to vacate. The whole night we had to sit on the bench on the platform.

I am regular traveler with in kerala by train. People with hell a lot of problems travel to different locations with time scheduled plans. Due to idiotic plans and careless planning of some concern, most of all the trains, mainly incoming trains, are running without any punctuality.

This is a paid service; so you are bound to serve punctually. As a next step i will move on to consumer form with more detailed informations.

Dear sir

In the past one month i have been trying to book one return ticket for me for sankarankovil with lower berth from the mambalam counter. Every time i get response that there are no tickets with lower berth. Can you please look into this and do the needful. It is surprising to note even one ticket is not available.

Sir there is a parking lot on the madipakkam side. The entrance to the parking lot is very narrow as the vehicle contractor allows only two vehicles at a time. As a result there is lot of congestion and the vehicles pile up on the road. Moreover, those having montly passes also have to wait in the queue. The vehicles coming out of the parking lot face great difficulty to come out during peak hours (From morning 8.30 to 9.30). It would be better if the entrance is widened so that the vehicles with passes can be allowed without waiting and those vehicles coming out also can come easily.

The careless of tirunelveli railway train announced division. The railway did not announced train platform detail correctly. Due to their careless of duty, the passengers face un convenient. More than hundreds of passengers face problems. Please kindly take necessary action for this. The tirunelveli railway station did not provide proper reason for this complaint, they ignore and provide inappropriate reason. For their careless.

Hi yesterday i'm travelling to chennai central from nayudupeta.in nayudupeta station iam sitting in the bench. Suddenly one lady coming there and she told me that you can't sit this is reserved in platform. But i'm asking is it reserved. She replied me like dont argue with me. And also she is using some vulgar words. And also call her personnel people to threatening me. Here for safety i'm recorded every thing. I believe the irctc for further action.

Train no.12617/12618 - mangala ldweep exp. Is categorised as a superfast train and levies additional superfast charge. Earlier the train used to have less stops and good punctuality, but now it takes the same time or more, with more stops, lesser or same speed as that of other ordinary passenger trains like:
1) 16345/16346-netravati exp,
2) porbander kochuveli exp, etc..
Very poor running as compared to other super fast trains running in the shoranur rly stn and panvel rly stn section. Due to this the train has become like a local passenger train in which lot o[censored]nauthorised passenger's board in reserved coaches, leading to overcrowding of coaches & nuisance, affects cleanliness of coaches & toilets, and inconvenience to long distance passenger's.
This is looting by southern railway division off long distance passenger's by overcharging in name of superfast train, depriving of punctuality with increased stops, thereby causing inconvenience to reserved passenger's travelling on board by allowing unauthorised passenger's in reserved coaches.

I came to receive my wife and kid to tamabaram station today at 6:45 am. When i entered into the west tamabaram station, there was a huge line. So many people are in hurry to take tickets and there was only one counter open. There were around 30-35 passengers waiting, but i see the second counter was not open. The timings mentioned on the counter as 6 am - 21:30.
