There is always a possibility of bed bugs, but louse is an addition.<br />The only grouse I have of Indian AC coaches is that we can't look out !!<br />Like the scenery we enjoy from a general class bogie on long distances.Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573906991666088642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232805004810427151.post-88411974422078253632016-05-28T17:52:38.820+05:302016-05-28T17:52:38.820+05:30Haha...

I'd prefer snoring uncles and crying babies over that loud noise anytime. Cockroaches and mice are a part of Indian Railways; no matter it's an AC coach or sleeper or the railway station. You can't help that, you have to travel with them.

Our compartment had two mice and they were running on our luggage and on us too! Complained by nothing happened. <br /><br />About snoring...It is really horrible but my husband also snores, so I am used to it!<br /><br />I too have read that they don't wash the blankets all the time. Just iron and give them back. <br /><br />But I love our trains with all the draw backs!Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232805004810427151.post-63220133329319788882016-05-27T21:30:22.933+05:302016-05-27T21:30:22.933+05:30I like AC coaches as they are comfortable.

Amusing because it was good to read and relate to. <br />Hmm, the cockroaches and the civic sense of people travelling are quite a nasty matter, that dosent discount the other episodes you mentioned. <br />This is Indian rail travel. Sit back, lie back and enjoy it , if you cant avoid it ( as they say about rape).anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232805004810427151.post-88659743021110107552016-05-27T11:25:27.472+05:302016-05-27T11:25:27.472+05:30I have also had bad experiences but what to do..in...I have also had bad experiences but what to do..in some compartments we have to face rowdy and lecherous passengers ..so its way better to go by AC.Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232805004810427151.post-60527055337426552182016-05-26T16:30:46.983+05:302016-05-26T16:30:46.983+05:30Sorry, you had bad experience in the AC coach.

I, II, or III AC...I don’t know which AC you meant. I, II, or III AC. Whenever we visit India, we always travel by I AC, if available. We enjoy the train ride. I AC is very good in a sense that in the 4 seater compartment, most of the time we are the only 2 people. We enjoy that freedom. That is the end of it.<br /><br />We are told they don’t clean the pillows, sheets, and blankets. They just fold and give to the next oncoming passengers. Yuck. Ewww. The I AC has 10 berths and 4 lavatories. Even at the starting station, the lavatories stink. I don’t know why. <br /><br />Here is a funny incident. Once we traveled from Delhi to Chennai in Rajdhani I AC. Ticket price included food. Morning breakfast time we were given Bread, Butter, and Jam. I asked the waiter that this is a Chennai bound train and what happened to the Idli, Vada, and Upma. He said: Sir, that is only for other compartments and not for I AC. I said we want that Idli, Vada, and Upma and not this Bread, Butter, and Jam. He took them back and brought what we requested.<br /> <br />My brother-in-law’s family, who live in New Delhi, have a lot of airline pilots. They think we are idiots to travel by train from New Delhi to Chennai and waste valuable time. Hey, we travel in plane all the time in USA and we want to enjoy our vacation in India. As you said, take your own blanket.<br />SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8232805004810427151.post-53080060652621150152016-05-26T00:51:15.583+05:302016-05-26T00:51:15.583+05:30AC coach!
