I recently travelled in this train, booked ticket before 45-days expecting it will get confirm from YPR-KCG, in SL, as 3Ac WL is more went for SL it showed 106Gnwl hence i booked it and started tracking before one week it came to rac and surprised to see the 138 which means mostly Side lower of this train are allocated to RAC(140Max). so coming to the trip train was kept on Pf6 around 8:40pm and my ticket landed in rac it went till rac80 and stopped. i boarded the train and got my seat, my coach was 2005 made i think still ok but maintenance is not good even toilets could be done better.
Coming to the major points.

it started bang on train and almost 50% unreserved passengers occupied empty seats and started sleeping, even my seat is occupied but i rejected to move as it is RAC. i assumed that once TTE comes i will definitely get my seat because in my coach only around 20-30 people occupied seats. i waited till 1am till no show of TTE, suddenly i see 3 special squard started fined all unreserved pass. glad that at least they fined and people are ready to pay the pain, i asked the Squard team till now TTE didn't come and it is not comfortable in travelling night time and i see most of them where un-reserved so there will be a high chance of getting a confirmed seat but they said he is on the way but i waited till 2am no luck, i even twitted around 1am posted the status but it was closed in 30min span of time mentioning that TTE will come post DMM and advised on-board TTE to clear the issue but to be frank it became worst and no one came.
I learnt a lesson never ever travel in this train if you are preferring SL. no use and i expected a lot from twitter Indian railways but sad to see the request closed without proper resolution, i clearly mentioned my pnr,mobile no,coach and seat but no one came and continued to travel. It reached bang on time but will never book in this train in SL. please go for Mysuru express (MYS-KCG) which is still better and best in terms of cleanliness and unreserved people will not board max and in returned i booked in Mysuru almost 45-days back it showed RAC65 when i booked but still it also landed in RAC. it went till 30. Again same story lady TTE came and verified and went so many passengers requested but this time it is jam packed i could see as my ticket only landed in RAC means i understand the rush and 0% cancellation, train is neat and clean and washrooms are super neat please prefer MYS-KCG than SK. though the stops are more in Mysyuru SF but it will be on time max and Neatness and clean. Maintenance is out standing also in SL in mysuru SF.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
