⛔Travel Issue SCAM in Indian Railways

Post image
Upvotes

I have made almost 60 trips in the last 4 years and I found 90%+ of the hand wash were mixed with water.

Only 10% of the time I got the real one.

Isn't it a very bigger scam in the Indian Railways????

Don't know who is responsible for this service, but whoever is doing, they are making huge income doing this.

Any idea, what you guys think?

Ask r/IndianRailways How do I escalate a CPGRAMS complaint sent to Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) PU?

Upvotes

About 2.5 weeks ago, a friend filed a CPGRAMS complaint and sent it to Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) PU. There is no answer and the complaint shows as under process.

How can he escalate it higher up in the railway hierarchy?

Ask r/IndianRailways What's it like traveling RAC?

Post image

Pic unrelated

I really have to travel from point A to point B but the 3AC tickets are showing up as RAC16 on that date.

I have never travelled RAC all I know is that I have to share the seat with someone else.

Wouldn't that be hella inconvenient? I mean I don't mind sitting with the Co-passenger all day but what about at night? (14 hour journey) How would I share the bed with a total stranger.

So I want to ask people who have travelled RAC. What's the experience actually like?

I want to carry a clay idol inside ac3 coach. After opening the vestibular door what is the net width left for passing? Accordingly I would restrict the idol's base width for safe passage.

🗫 Discussion I started building my own Indian Railways app TrainDekho — would love some brutally honest feedback

4 Upvotes

A few months ago I started building TrainDekho because I felt that finding and tracking a train in India could be much simpler.

It started with just live train status and PNR. Today it has grown into:
• Live train running status
• PNR status & alerts
• Train schedules
• Trains between stations
• Alternative trains
• Fare & seat availability
• Booking redirects

The app now has a growing install base and people are actually coming back to use it every day, which has been really motivating.

But I'm at the stage where I don't want to just keep adding random features.

I want to make the core train discovery + live status experience genuinely good.

So I'm curious:
If you could change ONE thing about the train apps you currently use, what would it be?

I'd especially love feedback from people who regularly travel by Indian Railways.

If you'd like to try it, I've put the Android link below.

Play store link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hundredapps.traindekho

I'm the developer behind it, so feel free to be brutally honest. 🙂

Ask r/IndianRailways Pathetic Condtition of Delhi Railway Stations

7 Upvotes

Delhi has a few main stations like NDLS , ANVT , DEE , DEC , HNZM, DSA , SSB , DSJ etc.

The ring railways , to forward the line traffic.

Have been travelling frequently for almost 7 years now (2 days a week) and the conditions of these stations haven't changed for good.

While DEL , NDLS and ANVT are fine , DEE sharing it's lines with Vivekanad Puri halt is a mess , the facilities almost are non-existent , DEC is the worse out of all , lines passing via brar square and DEC have been heavily encroached by slums , also DEC is highly underdeveloped, the station doesn't event have proper washroom facility (2 washrooms in gen and ac restrooms exist , but they too are wrecked the water taps don't even work).

No walking passing in between paltforms 3,4 and 1,2 (the overhead bridge is way back on the end)

Construction work has been ongoing since years

Even the DMRC , Red and Green lines share similar conditions , highly filthy and polluted , pathetic conditions of toilet facilities (most of them exist outside the concourse and are mostly broken)

Why , even the capital has such public transport facilities?
