this station name is "VRIDHACHALAM" not "vriddhachalam". only single d. admin pl update. even it is wrongly printed in train books. indianrail.gov.in and irctc site and reservation counters follow "VRIDHACHALAM" only.

I spoke to TTE regarding bed sheets. He said it is the coach is infected not the bed sheets. They have already informed higher officials and coach is likely to be replaced at egmore. Lets see how it goes.

Re# 462921-19              
sorry friends for not posting the closing comments earlier.
1. this is the one of my worst experience in 16 years of train journey. bed bugs really took the charm out the journey. the bed sheets, pillow, blanket every where, i could find these bugs. attender said, the problem is with the coach, not on the cloths. He was true to some extent. second day, due to sons compulsion, i took couple of fresh bed sheets, those didn't had any bugs.
2. complained to all TTEs but nothing really happened. Even co-
...
more...
passengers tried to pull the chain but to our shock, nothing happened after the chain pulling. train didn't stop. is their any way to remove or disconnect mechanism from a particular coach?
3. One thing i learnt from this experience. never travel in non-regular or weekly trains. regular trains like GT, TN were always maintained in better way than this shabby and unclean tn sampark kranti and thirukural exp.
4. on the same train B1 coach was far better maintained than B2. out of 4 toilets two didn,t had properly closing doors and few hinges were broken and the other two had atleast 3/4 to 1 inch gap vertically when doors were closed.
5. 1st day food was average and second day only god saved me.
6. May god save IR passengers.
happy Railings.
