Yesterday thought that will board this train's General or Sleeper compartment with a General ticket from Vizianagram to Balasore. I am again saying, I "Thought" to board.
Train arrived exact on time at VZM platform 4.
General coaches were already filled up and people were hanging on Doors already. Toilets were also full of people with No windows. Passengers had broken the window so that toilets could be used as a window seat. :P
All...
more... the 13 Sleeper coaches, each and every coach was full it people upto brim. Doors were jammed and even if you have your confirm ticket, you will have to spend huge amount of energy and time to reach your seat.
AC coaches were also having WL or regular passengers seating near Attendant's bed. But inside their were no unauthorized entries.
If you are travelling with family or ladies or even alone, Try to avoid the SL coaches and GS coaches.
After hearing about coach conditions, you can imagine what will the Cleanliness and maintenance condition of this train.
