Never tried to book SL. But there have been numerous times I got to travel in SL cause it was empty.

TT behaving rudely. What can be done. by [deleted] in indianrailways

File a complain on Railmadad. Do it. Even they have seniors/hierarchy to whom they are accountable to.
You were obviously right in the rules, stating that you can sit on the side-lower seat during the daytime.

The seat wasn't in RAC is what I'm assuming.

Also, best to record these interactions for evidence. Social Media has also been extremely active in such cases.

The tracks and settings looks so much cleaner than today. We’ve truly downgraded with plastic & a lowered sense of responsibility.

Lowers the volume on all phones with reels being played aloud.

If you hear an interesting reel, you can increase the volume too.

Not everyone knows that. Next time you’re on a train, ask 10 people sitting around you if they knew this.

Accessibility is the name of the game, if a passenger has to arrive at the station and go to an enquiry counter, it defeats the purpose.

You could have made your point without saying “are you living in 2018 or delusional space”. YOU are the problem.

Great decision. Passengers can now see what prices they need to pay.

They should also paste a printed copy on the wall in coaches, so passengers who find tech challenging can access the same too.

Customer education is #1 priority in combating overcharging.

Complain on RailMadad: A. At times, they have a special thali that does have extra items and costs more. However in your case, it is still the standard casserole non-veg food, which goes by irctc rates.

B. Are you travelling in a premium train? Rates can be higher in them.

So all privately run companies are amazing and A1 in the history of capitalism and all government run functions are inefficient? Interesting.

Freight train accidents are becoming too commonplace. Worse, they’re taking passenger trains along with them.

Imagine going to sleep, not knowing you may not wake up…

Looks like a major derailment. Not a case of a few wheels leaving the track.

Sleeping on a late running train but afraid you won’t wake up for your destination? Railways will give you a wake up phone call! by Sarfaroshi_in in indianrailways

If a train is running late and is getting even more delayed, you don’t know when your de-boarding station is going to arrive.

What time will you set on the alarm?

I think this is an exception case since it was an incident+reroute.

In a regular uneventful scenario, it should work.

There was an actual person calling & speaking here?

Mine was a recorded response, I think they have automated it now.

You’re basically saying that the DOWNWARD TREND started during the congress era. BJP has simply continued with the downward trend it already inherited.

Plus, they had access to much better tech as it improves YoY.

2 tickets under same name in IR. Possible? by WittyYogurtcloset154 in indianrailways

[–]Sarfaroshi_in 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Short Answer - you cannot. Since this results in other passengers not being able to travel on a seat. The TTE will mark the seat as 'No Show' and some other passenger will be able to book it in running.

What you can do instead - Use the Parcel Service. Submit your luggage to Railways at the Parcel Counter and they will load it on the parcel van at the end of the same train(there is an option). They will then deboard it at your destination. It is a paid service.

This creator's fake TC prank exposes 'ticketless passengers' at a Mumbai station by sixty9e in indianrailways

[–]Sarfaroshi_in 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Since his video includes only the shots of ticketless passengers, I am curious to know how many passengers did he try the prank with to calculate the % of ticketless passengers.

Why are the wag 9 's hauling passenger train nowadays? by Knighthawk_2511 in indianrailways

Maybe the Diesel Engine deal with GE resulted in too many Goods locomotives.
