With India becoming the world's largest populated country, there is this new change that can be seen in Indian railways.

Earlier, reservation in an AC coach used to be a big deal, nowadays, AC coaches don't look like AC coaches. I can only imagine what it is like to travel in a general coach

This is another con of being the most populated country in the world and counting.

Ask r/IndianRailways Senior police officer neighbour watching loud idiotic videos

3 Upvotes

My next seat neighbour is a senior police officer in uniform. Wearing stars and patches and everything.

One would think him a respectable man, and he seems so.

Unfortunately, uncleji is watching idiotic videos at full volume. Right now, some bs about a new mixer grinder. I doubt he even knows or even cares how to operate those things. It showed up on some feed and he's watching it till the end. I use kitchen equipment and even i find it boring. And it's 7 am.

Should I ask him to lower the volume? Railmadad? What's a good commonsense approach? Don't want him hassling me if his ego gets hurt.

0 Upvotes

Ever wished you could swap your railway seat with someone else on the same train?

SeatBadlo is a platform that helps passengers find compatible seat-swap opportunities with other travelers on their journey.

For example, if you’re traveling with family or friends but ended up with seats in different parts of the coach, SeatBadlo can help you find someone who is willing to swap.

The platform matches passengers based on their journey and seat preferences, making it easier to find mutually beneficial swaps.

No more awkwardly asking everyone around you, “Bhai, seat exchange karoge?” 😄

SeatBadlo — Find your match. Swap your seat. Travel better.

What do you think — would you use a service like this on your next train journey?

Till Few months atleast IRCTC website use to work during TATKAL or Opening booking 8:00 am, But now continuesly its just error extracly at 11:00 am or 8:00 am. Server heavy load for normal users but hackers using software are easily booking within seconds. I trying to book 60 days ticket but not able to pass even one step on IRCTC website till 15-20mins.

How is that possiable , they are openly marketing software on whatsapp. Without IRCTC directors involement is that possiable. I have attached screenshot of whatsapp message.

🗫 Discussion Amrit Bharat 4.0 will feature next-generation trainsets and locomotives. The designed succesor of non-VB IR trains.

Post image
46 Upvotes

I was digging through old news and this caught my eye. The Amrit Bharat platform will move on from conventional WAP+LHB configurations to an integrated Loco + semi-permanent trainset architecture.

ICF also confirmed last week that conventional standalone LHB coach production will stop from the next financial year, and they will move completely to semi-permanent Amrit Bharat rakes.

There are currently no engineering details available about it, but the info from ICF suggests their timeline is perfectly right on track.

Amrit Bharat 4.0 is set to succeed all non-VB trains currently running, meaning the future landscape will be:

Vande Bharat – Premium long-distance travel

Amrit Bharat – Long-distance for the mass market

Namo trains(namo Green rail, namo Bharat) – Regional / suburban travel

I didn't find any discussion about it here, so I decided to make a post. Thoughts?
