Nov 24 2014 (11:03) 12215/Delhi Sarai Rohilla - Bandra Terminus Garib Rath Express (PT)
bhaiyou
bhaiyou 278 blog postsI had a BAD EXPERIENCE of travelling by 12215/16 Bandra-Sarai Rohilla Garib Rath Express last week. While the train maintains its speed upto destination on both sides, the COACHES (3-AC) and the catering facility are HORRIBLE. The Garib Rath has coaches of NR (Northern railway) on all the rakes but the toilets are DIRTY. No railway staff attends to cleaning of toilets and for filling of water IN TOILETS. I repeat the TOILETS ARE DIRTY AND NO WATER IS FED IN THE TOILETS at intermediate stations. The catering staff also NEVER RETURN THE BALANCE MONEY for the amount taken ( no pantry car in this train). The coaches are NEVER broomed at Bandra destination once train arrives from Delhi and ready to depart for Delhi 4 hours later. THE 3-AC coaches are OUTDATED and NEW 3 AC COACHES need to be attached as they make more noise while in motion....

I agree with your comments. The coaches are unhygienic . Even during night travel, its shaking in such a way that it seems to be an earthquake, we could not sleep well. The allotment of berth is also not in order as per tkt i.e. LB-MB-UB written in the tkt, while actual travelling, the position is SL-SM-SU. This is really pathetic. Please do the necessary amendments in connection with the allotment of berths and maintain hygienic coaches. This train is very demanding especially for Gujarat and Rajashtan people.
This is a common problem across all the garibrath category.
Secondly the concept of garibrath is practically dead. hence production of new coaches is not gonna happen.
.
The only possibility is that to convert the train to an AC express...but it will significantly raise the fares ..at least by 75-80%

The train may be CONVERTED into AC-Express. The name garib rath should be scrapped and renamed as AC Express. New Coaches need to eb fitted/replaced against the present ones. the #AC coaches make noise and allotment of berths is NOT proper. TTEs are not seen in this train till destinations.
