Hi sir/madam

Noticed in pattaravakkam station.. After sweeping that dust is throwing into the railway track...

I raised the question.. Why you are throwing dust into train track, sweeping lady stated there was no dustbins...

Please check and arrange the necessary needs... And also required to do inspection atleast weekly basis

As we are going to go green... This is not fare to throw plastic wastage

Do you plan to loot us as well kill us by making us hungry. Train no 12243. You do not have any licence to kill us.

              Train timings for memu passenger, erode to coimbatore vice-versa, is not at all comfortable for regular working people, those who come from erode to coimbatore daily. They have to maintain 8 hrs at office, so most of people use bus transporation. Train reach 10 am in morning to coimbatore and starts 6pm, so how regular office people will use local train for daily use?. Train not maintaining given timings itself. Train should reach coimbatore by 8am itself and should take late 7 pm from coimbatore. So only it is useful. Too much of signals on the way. So please consider this and do possible help.

                We are residing near mambalam railway station
                The heavy horn noise of various express trains causing lot of problems including noise pollution, restlessness, disturbing the sleep of old aged and children
                This noise is audible for a long distance
                Horn is meant for alerting the passingers to keep away from moving train
                Why don't we reduce the volume

                Similarly the speed of express trains shaking the buildings of nearby area. If the trains are operated at a limited speed till chennai tambaram, this can be resolved

                          Infact, i lodged my complaint to [protected]@railnet.gov.in on 14.08.18 and also sent reminder after week back, but still no response from the concerned.
                          Hence approaching you for redressal.

                          Dear sir,
                          May kindly ref. Pasted below my complaint to utschennai dt 01.07.18 for your kind reference and my request for refund of amount was not effected quoting their own limitations in terms of powers entrusted with them.

                          Sir, this app was introduced to ease out rail commuters
                          But without any rules and regulations for refund of an unused ticket due to the cancellation of train, which the app won't hinted anything at the time of booking ticket as like irctc ticket booking site, where we the commuters booking ticket for a cancelled train which came to our notice only when stepped into the station to board train as we planned.
                          Hope, you can understand the hardships faced by a passenger thereafter and the amount paid was also refunded!!!

                          Sir, this app would be introduced in the best of interest to ease out commuters, but definitely not intented to collect money (Other words to swindle) for no service to the users of this app of the central govt body!!

                          We are going to celebrate 72nd independence day tommorow and talking more of digital india, but the hard earned money of citizens (Users o[censored]ts app) are being collected by the railways for no service.

                          Here my claim may be for a megre amount as an individual, but it makes me wonder how a huge amount would be collected by railways through this app for no service being provided to the users all over india!!

                          Bring it to your notice to look into it for corrective action and to arrange for refund of claims similar to mine, please.

                          Thanks and regards,

                            Sir/mam, i use to travel by train on regular basis... When i reach tambaram railway station i can able to notice leakage water tapes on every platform... Like more than a month to my knowledge... Daily basis 40 to 60 litres of water getting waste.

                            Water is precious resources nowadays, so kindly request sr department to focus on this issue and replace or repair the damage tapes on platforms.

                            And like to appreciate the southern railways for maintaining "urapakkam" railway station so clean and providing neet environment to passengers.

                                  The idli bass provided by 12007 on 17/8/2017 was horrible ... Both were hard and not up to standard expected in shatabdi ...It is not enough to have liveried service personnel if the food didn't match up.. Coffee could have been provided in flask, instead of providing coffee mix, creamer, sugar and hot water separately.. Nothing in food quality has improved except for the serving style and ambience..Pull up the food service contractor..I am traveling in C3-seat 32.
