So what about the de-reserved sleeper coaches. The following trains had de-reserved coaches where sleeper tickets were issued
Allp-DHN- ST-1, ST-3, S-2,S-4 between Allp-Chennai. This was very useful for passengers travelling in the daytime for short distances
Allp-Chennai had one coach between Ernakulam-Palakkad. Similarly Sabari express and Island express had one coach between TVC-PGT.
I feel that railways might end up losing in the...
more... long run as passengers will buy general ticket and wait for TTE to come and if he doesn't then it will always be a gain for the passengers having travelled at lower fare !!
