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.

Travelled in Sleeper Class after more than 5 years. The conditions of coaches were not good and Cleanliness in toilets was pathetic. I travelled with this train many times, but never seen such bad conditions before...Is this train loosing its pride???

But we are here to rate alternatives. If a simple WL gets confirmed when charting from Bangalore is done, why go for Tatkal? The alternative provided by you attracts undue cost.
