Train no. 12447/12448 UPSK
I think railway is going to increase AC coaches and reduce Sleeper coaches for this train.
As it can be seen:-
1. Train no. 12447 from MKP to NZM, seats in sleeper coaches are 200+ till 20 July 2023 and after that only 56 seats and in 3AC coach seats were around 235 which increased to 366, similarly...
more... around 37 seats in 2AC increased to 99 and 1 seat increased in 1AC.
2. Train no. 12448, from NZM to MKP, till 19 July 2023, seat in SL are around 250 which reduced to 57 after that, and in 3AC 230 to 328, in 2AC 45 to 82, but reduced in 1AC.
This shows that railway is going to reduced sleeper coaches of this train despite heavily crowded sleeper coaches of this train. Railway is trying to increase its revenue through 3AC.
Maximum people of this area (Jhansi to Banda) come to delhi as working class and travel in General coach and Sleeper class and can't afford 3AC.
Railway must also look this. What's your thought, Kindly comment.
