inferior fittings in the coach
Complaint

Country: India
I and my wife boarded train no. 2480/suryanagri exp class 3A on 22-02-2009 from BDTS to JU at 13:30. The coach manufacturing date as mentioned was January, 2008 at Kauprthala. The inside fittings appeared new,but quality was very inferior. The foam of seats had no cushening effect.I felt like sitting on a hard board.Water bottle holders were flimsy. Side pockets were broken. Toilet seat was made of thin plastic material. The pipe in the toilet was leaking. I have always been travelling either in 3A or 2A coaches, but have never found such inferior fittings. Through this message i would like to caution the railway authoroties to take quick action. i am worried how many such coaches might have already been manufactured. Today only i have come back after a tour of Rajasthan and thought it appropriate to air my suggestions.

The train don't have any pentry car and passanger have to accepted poor quality old food available on platforms of middle stations.
I hope the train is running for more than 2 days and ministry don't have time to think about this.
I am travelling every week from last 6 year and never seen 0.1% upgradation.
