Southern Railway Complaints & Reviews

I am regurarly travelling by train at chegalpet fast in chennai. There is no proper time to reach the station at peak timings. All the people are working who are travelling the train. Chennai is one the metro city all the people residing over here. Every body looking for fast to reach the office correct time, but train is not coming properly at correct timings. We people are waiting for 45 minutes for one train. Even we can get the train frequently from tamabaram only. Many of them coming for chengalpet, vandular, guduvancheri, perungalathur they can't get the frequently because train will come by 45 min once. Perungalthur is now one of the peak area can't imagine so many passengers are waiting for 45 min for this train because for late train at peak time. Two timing passenger combined together rushing over there. Women compartment can't able to adjust together and didn't get the space for standing also and curshed people together. The reason behind from 8:20 train will come at 8:40 then 8:40 timing people are merged together fighting over there. Why don't consider about passenger at peak time. We always looking for fast train to reach the office soon but the train always coming late chengalpet fast trains are worst for coming at peak times. Please take the immediate action for this daily people are suffering a lot for late coming train.

I am regular passenger, travelling daily from ernakulam to thrissur. It is very sad to inform you that there is no train regular train service from thrissur to ernakulam between 4 pm to 5.50 pm which is most peak time and lot of passengers like teachers, government servants, bank employees, students, private employees (Lot of female passengers also) are depending nilmbur ernakulam passenger for travelling to ernakulam after their hectic office hours. If you can start a memu/demu service from thrissur to ernakulam at 5 - 5.30 pm with stops at thrissur - chalakkudy - angamali - aluva - ernakulam, that will be a great relief for many regular passengers. Now the nilmbur passenger is reaching ernakulam at 8- 8.15 pm and the unfortunate passengers again to catch buses, autos etc to reach home and most of them are reaching home 9 to 10 pm. The next day early morning they have to start their journey to their work places... No life... No relaxation... Who can see this???

Sir
today i have booked five tickets online for two srczn and 3 adults in train no12693 from chennai to tuticorin for my journey on 17th sep.. There were 239 berths available. I have given option two lb for us 2mb and 1sl for others. But to my surprise we both srczn have been allotted 2 ub where as my grandaughter 19ys age allotted sl and my son and wife alloted mb and sub. How it is alloted? railway minister told sometimes back senior citizens are being given preference for lb and some lb are earmarked for srczn only.

I was travelling from new delhi to chennai via tamil nadu express on the 8.8.2016 in a2-34. The only other copassenger in my cabin was a man on seat 33. He was dressed in complete white attire and must have been in his 70's. We spoke briefly and then went to bed after the tte checked our tickets. Late in the night i caught this man touching me from his berth. I shouted at him thrice, and even caught him red handed while he pretended to sleep. I was terrified and used my bag as a shield and lay inwards. When the tte came after the bhopal junction stop. I got down and told him the entire incident and asked for a change in seat. The remaining journey was very disturbed. I have always preferred train journeys but this journey has scared me. I hope this matter is looked into seriously so no one has to go through this.

Hi, i had a worst experience while traveled to madurai from chennai in guruvayur express. There are so many transgenders bording into train and started asking for money from passangers. If any passanger not giving them money, the transgenders started abusing them and started scolding them and also sometimes actioning like beating them. Please take some action to stop them from bording into train for these kind of activities. Even so many times i had a same experience in vaigai express also, there is no peacefull travel for the passangers even in the revervation compartments.

Today i parked 2 wheeler parking in mount rly stn. The contractors treated me very very bad. They are talking indecent words, iam very much upset and mentally disturbed.

The contractor said to me you can complaint any where to any higher official no one can question to me, this is my place even agm can't do any thing he said.

This our situvation daily we are facing and struggling problems. Iam past 15 years travelling mount to beach stn to go to office.

Every month i paid 2wheeler parking pass rs.300.00 before 5th. But there is no good service. My vehicle fully demaged but no commponsation. Iam not claiming any adjustment.

In this matter kindly take serious action against mount rly stn 2wheeler parking contractor.

Kindly do the needful
Thanking you,

Sir im a regular commuter mrts from chepauk to thiruvanmiyur where my office is situated. Since there is no any parking lot allotted by the railway department in the station, I used to park my vehicle in the platform besides railway station compound wall near the entrance. Not only me many of the commuters ysed to park their vehicles and get in to station to board into their trains. Nowadays railway police personnel are threatening us by using abusive words preventing us from parking our vehicles near the station. There are denying to answer us if we ask for providing us a parking lot in the station premises. We are faving nightmare everyday. Allotment of a parking lot inside the station premises will solve the problem forever. Expecting speedy action in this regard. Thanks

Dear sir/madam,

Sub: inadequate facilities at arkonam railway station
_

1. Train numbers and coach position of the train [for all the trains stopping at arkonam railway station] should be displayed in the notice board kept outside the station master's room/at the entrance of the foot steps on both sides of the station and it should be also made known to the commuters/public through the public address system available in the station. This will avoid the commuters from running here and there for boarding the train on its arrival.

2. The length of the platform can accommodate only 17 coaches but the trains have nearly 22 coaches with the result that the commuters travelling in the last 4 or 5 coaches have to literally jump out of the compartments while alighting. Imagine the situation for elderly people, disabled people, women and for commuters alighting during night time.

3. The electronic display board kept in the station for indicating the train number and the position of coaches is not functioning for most of the time with the result commuters have to run helter skelter to board the train on its arrival.

4. The retiring rooms/toilets for commuters is not clean. They should be kept neat and tidy.

Please take necessary steps to provide the necessary facilities at arkonam railway station.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,

D1 coach in yelagiri express train 16090/16089 has been attached exclusively for first class season / pass holders and it was updated in online data also. But everyday the compartment is fully occupied by second class ticket / season holders and low grade railways staff who dont have valid first class pass.In spite of our repeated requests, still situation is same and all first class season / pass holders are struggling for seat and even to stand in the compartment.

If we question second class passengers, its creating a kind of public nuisance and we have to keep shut. Request to depute tte or a rpf staff on regular basis to control and allow first class passengers to travel peacefully.

Any action in this regard will be highly appreciated...
