If we notice carefully, the SUB is still lower than the UB of the main bay. I think these berths would be more acceptable if brought to the same level as the berths in the main bay.. Still, the sitting comfort is non-existant.

Akshay, i think Karan meant that he booked his tickets in 3A and in Side Lower (SL) and not sleeper!!!

A new chapter in the sardinization of train travel!

Horrible. Where is the side middle berth passenger supposed to sit? BTW, Karan, do not fear. This is a 3A coach & your reservation is of SL!!

Looks like IR has made it now to treat goods and passengers same way.

Also, where will the third person have his food. He/she can still have it with lots of adjustments made.

IR has gone blind in making money with comfort gone for a toss. Certainly if this design is implemented, many people will upgrade to 2A or even airlines.

Ugh, yet another reason to avoid 3AC! I think it's totally unfair to the person who gets alloted the middle berth.

Very bad..already the Side berths are a nuisance for the tall people, now it will become a nuisance for the well built ones too!!
