TRAVEL BY COIMBATORE TO BANGALORE UDAY EXP - 121
Travel by the prestigious UDAY EXPRESS 22666 from Coimbatore to Bangalore is a misnomer to the core because there is hardly anything there to be proud about . . This double decker AC train which was inaugurated hardly a year back with much fanfare between the Two Cities is a huge disappointment for a seasoned traveler. This is a huge let down mainly to the IT crowd travelling often between these two cities .
None of the trays have the locking mechanism to keep it upright when not in use .
The fittings in the Toilet
are loose and the doors can't be locked from the inside and the fear of being caught in the act is always an embarrassing thought .
The overhead space to keep the luggage is something which show our Railways in a very poor way . The TEN INCH SPACE can hardly accomodate anything of value . Loading a small carry luggage is itself impossible in the space provided . The absence of any alternative place is even more apalling .
Does this basic necessity never come up in the reckoning of the Railway Travel Planners .
The digital display screen worked for hardly 10 mts , what purpose it served is anybody s guess .
I am posting this blog even as i am travelling by this train .
The Railways and SUTLEJ who assembled these coaches need to do some serious thinking to look in to these matters .

I too traveled in this train, with my son and my wife, with same experience, as you had..
ReplyDeletenow we have got a fresh set of coaches in double decker between chennai and bangalore. in earlier coach it was difficult to keep your luggage especially in lower portion of the coach. so we i book i will see whether it is upper or lower.if it is lower i will prefer small suitcases or bags so that the same can be accommodated without any problem
