just wanted to point out a very bad experience in 2A coach of 16526 kanyakumari express on dec 26th.
my in-laws were travelling and they had A1-48. Surprisingly, in A1, both 47 and 48 did not exist. the TTE came and said that this is a regular affair as it is an old coach and there are only seats till 46. Shocking!
He was not willing to give any compensation. Luckily my in-law got a spare seat. the person with 47 was not so lucky. imagine paying all that money for 2A and...
more... not getting a seat when you actually got it reserved. atrocious.
Also, because there is a general compartment inbetween AC coaches and SL, no vendors come into the AC coaches. this again is a little irritating for people who want tea/coffee in the morning.
overall, i cant believe that such a popular train is treated so badly. really sad
