This is precisely the result when poor folks are priced out of train tickets by eliminating SL coaches. They end up either paying through their noses for tickets or simply barge ticketless into 3A/3E, and those who willingly paid more to travel in comfort are deprived of the same. It's almost as if every train will now have a "Garib Rath" in it, without the cheaper GR fares or the speed.
Even more shocking that they'd do this to a train like VSG-JSME that serves blue-collar workers almost entirely. Makes me fear...
more... what they'd do to VSG-PNBE and Amaravathi whenever they get LHB rakes.
