Howrah, Chennai Mail Reviews

Horrible.... don't travel.

I have been traveling from KGP to Chennai in AC 2-Tier. Side upper berths are very small. No light and power socket. It feels like travelling in normal sleeper. Maintenance is horrible.... toilets are over flowing. Don't ever travel in this train.

Its a good train between howrah to Chennai. It covers all major stations in this route.like kharagh pur, cuttak, Bhubaneswar, brahmapur, srikakulam, vijayanagaram, Vizag, rajamundry, Vijayawada and nellore are the major cities. For this areas people it is the best train.

OMG not a good one.

Old train running since many years provides a good service but at some point the train is not clean. Specially the wash basin and toilet.


This train is always filled up no place to stand even. in the year 2014 October 21st I traveled by this train and faced a lot of trouble.


So I will never suggest you all to go for this particular train as it runs late after vishakapatnam. food is also not good and they even charge high. they bring egg biryani and normal meals. I bought that egg biryani for 80 n got 1 egg and little biryani rice, which is tasteless. I went till chennai from kharagpur. it arrived at kharagpur on the scheduled timing. but I couldn't even get to my seat because it was total packed up by other passengers. even after having my seat reserved I was standing till jaleswar then RPF came and then I got settled. really a bad experience.

I travel to Chennai regularly by this Train. One thing good about this train is that it is seldom late. But, I WOULD LIKE TO BRING CERTAIN POINT FOR PUBLIC AS WELL AS THE RAILWAY OFFICIALS.


This train though it is called Mail stops in most of the Stations and becomes a passenger train during the day. The Reserved Coaches are occupied by the Local Travelers during the day time and lot of beggars disturb the Passengers. If any sick passenger wants to take rest the seat is occupied by the Daily Passengers. The TTs also do not question them. May I request the Railway Authorities to kindly look into this? The Toilets are only cleaned at Visakhapatnam and becomes dirty and gives out foul smell after it leaves Visakhapatnam since it is being used by 'n' number of people. Water Shortage also creates havoc since water tank capacity is less compared to the users. The Passengers who are near the toilets have to suffer the smell of the urine and night soil. NOBODY BOTHERS. THIS IS INDIAN RAILWAYS.


Since this train is being availed by many people I also recommend the Authorities to attach a PANTRY CAR so that the Passengers feel comfortable and can avail its services.


Another nuisance are created by the Smokers and the non-smokers have to suffer silently. Though it is being advertised that passive smokers are prone to suffer from TB& Cancer the Railways Authorities seldom fine the smokers. The RPF people take bribe once they see the smokers and Law is seldom implemented. The Fine should be Rs.1000/- plus imprisonment so that smokers would think twice before they break the law.


My Dear Friends could you kindly tell me as to who would take up these issues effectively the Railways Authorities Or the Government?

This behemoth of a train.. the HowRAH CHENNAI MAIL has been around since the beginning of time. This train is especially convenient for me because.. it is the best train.. covering the vishakhapatnam-chennai sector, apart from coramandel express.


Personally, I got onto this train at vishakhapatnam station at 12;10.. on time from the ORISSA SECTOR! wow. tell that to visakha or falaknuma express. Anyways... I got onto this train at high noon and before you know it.. EARLY MORNING arrival at Chennai Central station. Most of train tickets are already reserved months in advance.


Thank God I had an uncle who could get the ticket done in EQ Quota. Overall, this is the best train for Chennai-Vizag route. The coaches are not that bad, they're all new for this old train.


Just remember to get your own food, because I dont fancy the train food. I myself (a male) can make better chapatis than the ''chefs.'' ok LAAATE.
