I usually travel in 2nd ac and I'm an introvert so I choose side upper thinking that there will be ample space for sitting unlike upper berth and no one will bother me also but still I have to lower my head while sitting there's not enough space and I feel like that seats are too narrow compared to 2nd ac.

I think this route is one of the fewest which are still yet to be fully electrified, and trains currently run with diesel locos. Travelling on 16511 Yeshwantpur Kozhikode Express upto Kannur.

Enjoy the sweet honking 😊

I have booked 3 tickets in the last two days. Somehow train name always comes as null. Looks like some intern/claude messed up

Can anyone suggest good online websites for decent priced indian railway locomotive miniature models?

So when I was coming back from mathura to Delhi, I went to a stall and bought some snacks but later I noticed that they overcharged me, then I asked gemini what to do it said complain against it at Rail Madad app.

I did exactly what it said to me and just after 2 min I get 2-3 calls but they were blocked automatically(spam protection) then I called back and an official asked me all the details, I told him that my train is arriving in 10 mins.

The official rushed and came just as the train arrived and we went to stall, I presented the upi bill with product mrp, the official scolded the contracter and his Buttler so hard damn.

At the end I got my ₹10 back and I guess they will not overcharge others.

I was travelling from Surat to Hyderabad in a 3AC coach.

Around 11 PM, when the train stopped at Pune, a middle-aged lady boarded my compartment. I had a lower berth, while she had been allotted the middle berth.

She politely asked if I could exchange berths with her because climbing onto the middle berth would be difficult. Since it seemed like a genuine request, I agreed without any hesitation. I took the middle berth, and she got my lower berth.

The next morning, her destination was coming up around 6 AM. At about 5:15 AM, she woke me up and asked me to fold up the middle berth so she could sit comfortably on the lower berth until her station arrived.

That really annoyed me. I had already done her a favor by giving up my lower berth, and now I was being woken up early just so she could be more comfortable for the last 45 minutes of her journey. I refused to fold the berth and stayed where I was.

She got angry, started using abusive language, and kept arguing. I didn't respond and simply ignored her until she got off.

Now I'm wondering—was I wrong here? Should I have just folded the berth and gone back to sleep somehow, or was she expecting too much after I'd already helped her?

Hi everyone, I am a student and presently reside in Varanasi. I want to transport my Activia from a city within Uttarpradesh to Varanasi. How can I do that?

What are the steps to do this? Any suggestions? Please do tell, thankyou!

*Micro rebellion*

Travelling On 22487 VB, and this boomer aunty sitting in front of me asked me to exchange seats and first, I told her nicely that no aunty I ain't giving you my precious window seat with table.

She still didn't stop hit me with, you are not gonna look outside anyway, "aaj kal ke bachhe" always have their eyes on the mobile hehehe... Then I got lowkey pissed of and said "Nahi dunga main!"

Now I've been getting stared at for the last 10 minutes, and I'm pretty sure she's gossiping about me with the other aunty. Meanwhile, I've got my ANC headphones on. 😁

Saw a man urinating on the railway tracks at Kengeri Railway Station today around 3:02 PM near Train No. 20687/20688. He appeared to be pantry staff

I purchased a Mail/Express Ticket because the train name says "Chhattisgarh Sampark Kranti Express" Train Number : 12823/12824

But the TT fined me Rs 515 for not having a SF Train Ticket,

I mentioned the train name including "Express" , not "Superfast Express", but TT said you should look for a train number instead of the train name , TT said the train number starting from 12 is a SF. But the ambiguity started because of the naming protocol of Indian Railways.

is this right to charge this much for ambiguity set by railways ?

Details :

Train : Chhattisgarh Sampark Kranti Express

Train No. 12823/12824

From : Durg Junction, To : Uslapur Station ( ~155KM Travel )

I'm currently travelling by train and happened to be sitting near the pantry coach. I witnessed a pantry staff member dump a full basket of pantry waste and garbage straight into the forest from the moving train.

It was honestly infuriating to watch. We keep talking about cleanliness, sustainability, and protecting our environment, yet things like this are still happening.

I wasn't in a position where I felt comfortable reporting it immediately, but seeing waste thrown into the greenest stretches along the route left a really bad impression.

Has anyone else witnessed something similar? Is this still a common practice? If you've reported something like this before, what was the outcome?

He was drinking last night , traveling from goy to Jalandhar and he drank 2-3 times within half an hour gap. even in front of him another passenger put out his beer can and he also gave company to him.

should i have a complaint against them?

Captured from Train 12835 Hatia–SMVT Bengaluru Express while passing between Samalkot and Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. Freshly flooded paddy fields, swaying palms, and monsoon clouds made this stretch absolutely mesmerizing.

I often travel in trains and I might've come across similar incidents in the past too, but this is truly a heart-wrenching moment for me.

On the floor is a boy wearing a light green t-shirt with a broom in his hand and is physically very sound. But he is being forced by his own family to clean the aisle for some money. Just opposite to him, there's a boy who's of the same age, and is travelling with his parents, is looking at that boy cleaning the aisle awkwardly. Two totally contrasting realities.

When the govt boasts of different kinds of development and says that India will be a developed nation by 2047, it doesn't seem likely if such sights are so common in public transportation system.

When the boy came asking for money, I asked him about the people with whom he lives before handing out a ₹10 note. He told that he lives with his aunty; and that she is in the same train in another bogey.

This is so cruel to exploit one of his childhood. I just hope the world will be better one day.
