Jimmy, if I am not wrong, this coach is part of the rake that was fitted with plush furnishing at a cost of around 1 crore. This rake was to run as a tourist train between Nagpur - Kanha - Jabalpur. Due to various inter governmental goof ups, the train never did run. The coaches are being put to use for FC now, it seems. Good for FC passengers!

Wow, too good. Looks more like a tourist train. Thanks for sharing. Is that a toilet door? Do you have more pics of the coach?

Yes, the seats in BG AC Chair, FC MG Chair ( as on Pink City) were alike using 2+ 3 on BG, 2+2 on MG; but then there were differences!
The Taj and Brindavan FC had 2+2 chairs which were wider and these were used as 2+1 on the Udaipur section of the train on MG.

These latter were very comfortable!

I thought the Fairy Queen seats did not align well with the windows when I travelled in 2000.

If they wanted to give a choice of channels to the passengers, would it not be better to have TV screens on seat backs, as in airlines? The current setup looks bizarre.

Contracter, TV vendors, tenders, more TVs, more bribes, more cuts, more commissions.......need to say anything more?

we just have to get over the habit of over doing things, be it advertising or putting up monitors.

Instead of putting so many screens, they could have just put a nice 42" LCD screen at the front. Would have been a better experience!
