What to expect when you are about to travel in first class.
While booking I was very excited when I was asked the seat preference and I happily selected a coupe. But, when I arrived at my coach what I saw was shocking, my coach FC1 was a 1997 made sleeper coach converted into a 2×2 chair car.
The seats did not had any table attached to it and in the entire coach there were only 4 charging points near the doors, seats also had levers which are used to adjust the
...

reclining seat but the lever present just were just for display purpose as it didn't move an inch.
Fare of AC chair car is cheaper than this fake first class.
In terms of comfort Karnavati LHB 2S second sitting is more comfortable than this 2×2 chair car disguised as first class and one can travel at just Rs 180 between Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
At least I am thankful that I didn't get a general compartment in the name of first class which is there in Bandra Surat Intercity.
At least railways should change the seat preference option as whatever asked in the options does not exist in the real life.
God knows what our great Indian railways thinks before doing such act.

They should remove the old coach. It was a long time back (in the early 1980s) I travelled by the First Class (Chair Car) on Flying Ranee. There was no AC Chair car on the train at that time. At that time the First Class (chair car) was new and very comfortable. The other FC was a normal cabin/coupe FC which used to be overcrowded with regular MST commuters. Now the times have changed and the railways should remove these coaches. Other than Flying Ranee, I doubt whether other trains have the FC (chair car) coaches

Flying ranee is the only train with this first class chair car. While booking I was under the impression that it would be a cabin/coupe FC, but some years ago there was a time when flying ranee did had 2 cabin/coupe FC compartments, even some other intercity train also had this FC.Today all of this is replaced by AC chair car or a general compartment for 1st class pass holders.

Your point is excellent, but I think the First Class (chair class) is available only in one or two trains all over India. It may not be practical or desirable to change the software for one or two coaches

Else what is the solution. This class can not be clubbed into 2s or cc as it would incur revenue loss to railways.
While clubbing them in the fc is in a way is loot of passengers

One should also study how many non-locals/non-daily commuters travel by Flying Ranee. Most people would be aware what the condition of FC is and use the AC Chair car...Also, maybe the time has come for WR to withdraw the FC (Chair Car) coach..

What is this......this isn't anyways FC. Rs. 640.00 odd is way too much for this. I think WR will remove it or refurbish it again as Flying Ranee will have UTKRISHT Coaches soon.

Although the train is very notorious for brutal harassment by its daily passholders, carrying weapons for fighting would do nothing except for creating chaos.
Best way is book for BVC SF in place of 12922 and in BCT JP SF in place of 12921 which are very convenient trains for end to end travel till Surat
