Earlier, almost a year back the Mahalaxmi train was running with the modenized and superior Train Racks (Coaches). This is the only train on central rail Kolhapur(CSMT)-Mumbai (CST) line generates good revenue.
This train is a precious train for Kolapur Sangli regular travelers, rail way has reduces duration of journey by increasing the speed but CR has took back those modern racks and replaced with the old rack, which stinks and have bad inrerior.
The modern coches were so well designed, even 6ft hight person could accomodate on side lower and upper berths....

Now these replaced racks are the gift of Mr Laluprasad, as they have marks of 3rd side middel berth that has removed now from this train.
Because of third side berth the numbering of the seats/berth is still confusing, the punched numbers, the printed numbers and hand written numbers are still there to confuse passengers.
Cr has to replace the coaches to new coaches atleast for this precious train.
