Invariably I travel with reservation in the Second Class D1 coach. However, I am really at loss of words for the casual and inconsiderate attitude of the Railways.

I observe that the Southern Railway stations particularly in and around Chennai is not been maintained properly with no proper seatings, sign-boards, unclean platforms, tracks very unhygenic and the trains not cleaned regularly.
I have generally seen these are well maintained in South Central Railway where maintenance has been outsourced to private agency. Why can't the SR do the same ?

Please bring back the glory...
