"Something is always better than nothing ". Nothing wrong if SMB are reserved for RAC only. But it would be awfull if a person who books two months in advance and ends up with a lousy SMB.

Yeah, the allure of the SLB was that you could sit up and look outside at night. Now that this is gone, I will avoid the side berths as much as possible.

Nice description! Imagine a 125 kg man sleeping on it

Very bad indeed. Its my sincere prayer to God that Pushpak Express should not get SMB till 11th February 2008 ;-)

Its not about revenues. Apart from the berth, check out the seat that the 'extra' person will occupy. Is it right for folks to pay the same fare to sit in lesser space than the one right opposite them? And what about luggage space for that 'extra' - under the side berths or where the seat is? And for the extra 9 passengers, the number of lavatories remain the same. Its not been long since I last travelled in Sleeper class and I cannot imagine doing it now!

Besides reducing the storage space, the lower SLB will also mean that tall people will be uncomfortable while sitting on the side seats.

dear Praveen, it would require a bit of genetic engineering for your next generation to fit in SMB.rgds..
