Invasion by ticketless
The current railway administration has completely destroyed the Railways. Was travelling from Jpr-To-Udpr, which is not a labour route by any means. Even then, sub-alts have totally invaded the 3AC. There is no RPF/TT in sight.
I am rude enough to ward them off, but many had to share their seats. more

On the one hand online booking, for example; is definitely progress but what use is such progress when the ground reality is only marginally better. Toilets of trains are still in terrible state. True progress would only count when the 'lowest common facilities' improve in the railway system. Even 50 years ago there was crowding of reserved coaches by satellite town workers and others. So not much has changed in the railways except sophistication in its hype! more

I often come across such incidents and complained on their IVR 139 after failing on my request to onboard staffs. But result was big zero. Next, I received message on SMS complaint had been attended by onboard staff which was completely false. Now, Indian Railways became so commercial, they even forgotten to respect Sr. Citizen which I revealed today. There is no concession for them and even allotting their seats on upper berths. For last 7/8 years, day by day, all slogans of railways which were displayed in prior years on the boards of Railways, now have been wiped out in the name of modernization, better facilities and amenities which we don't see or realize anywhere. I think now our Bharat is running in the path of Capitalism like America, though constitution says we are socialistic democracy. Trains are running on ever average late, nationally. Derail & accident are now often heard frequently, as we saw in recent past, lower level employees were blamed. But higher officers have no time to inspect or supervise, even they have least knowledge of actual problems of running of trains. Railways is planning and dancing at the tune of political bosses and putting more and more trains & laying new lines, but what about old ones, are these properly repaired, replaced or maintained? who check or verify it? Really railways management is now of a great concern. more

Travelers in Northern India have no discipline in Rail travel. crowding in reserved coach during day hours is quite acceptable to reserved passengers..TTE and RPF encourage it. Whereas in South you will find very disciplined travelers. more

Even in 1st class of suburban trains ticketless and 2nd class ticket holders occupy seats brazenly. High time railways stepped up checking and ensured safety and comfort of customers more

Railways want to have their cake and eat it too. Their (and their political masters') complete focus is on showcasing and not on the core issues. Search any route-- all trains are running late in North Central and South Eastern zones. Weather is just a ruse. These two zones are notorious for late running of any train all round the year. There is no accountability for punctuality and no accountability for illegal entry in train coaches. Take an overnight journey in any LHB rake train-- you simply cannot sleep due to jerks every now and then which were unknown previously. There are no train attendants in any coaches now, they deliberately remove hand towel from linen pack (I travelled by Hampi express 2 weeks ago in AC first and AC II), TTE are not intereted as there there is no extra income and no railway police even in Rajdhani. more
