I recently traveled on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express and would like to share my experience with the sleeper compartment. Unfortunately, the sleeper compartment was extremely crowded, with many passengers with unconfirmed tickets or general-class tickets occupying seats that had been prebooked by others. This caused a significant inconvenience for those who had reserved their seats in advance.

However, what was more concerning was the behavior of the ticket collector. The collector seemed least bothered about the situation and was reportedly accepting bribes from passengers to allow them to travel in the sleeper

compartment, further adding to the overcrowding. This not only caused discomfort to passengers but also raised safety concerns.

Additionally, the washrooms on the train were not maintained well, making it challenging for passengers to use them.

I strongly recommend that the railways take action on this issue, including ensuring that ticket collectors do not accept bribes and prevent overcrowding in the sleeper compartment. Also, better maintenance of the washrooms would be highly appreciated. It is important to prioritize passenger safety and comfort, and I hope the necessary steps are taken to improve the overall travel experience on the 12627/8 Karnataka Express.

The lack of pre-announcement or display of bogey numbers at Kopergoan KPG Station has led to significant passenger inconvenience, particularly during the final minutes before a train's arrival. With the absence of accessible amenities such as lifts or escalators and only one foot overbridge, passengers are forced to cross the rail line, posing a serious safety risk. This situation is especially challenging for senior citizens and young children. As a second consideration, it is advisable for Indian Railways to consider introducing stoppages for all super-fast trains, including Samparkranti, at this station to improve accessibility and convenience for passengers.

The 20608/Mysuru (MGR) Chennai Central Vande Bharat Express provided an amazing journey from Mysore to Bangalore, running nonstop at 100 kilometers per hour. The smoothness of the ride was impressive, with no side-to-side movement or jerks, as confirmed by the water bottle experiment. The food was excellent, and the service provided was top-notch. The train accelerates quickly, and we arrived at KSR Bengaluru City Junction (Bangalore) two minutes ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend this train, and thank Indian Railways for their exceptional service to South India, particularly to the state of Karnataka.

    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...
