INTRODUCTION  OF SECOND CLASS SITTING PREMIUM SEATS (2SP) IN LONG-DISTANCE DAY TRAINS
At present 2nd Class Sitting  accomodates 3 Passengers on both sides
of the Pathway. The length of each side is about 45 Inches. For youngters
weighing around 50 Kgs. and short distance passengers, it is O K. But
for aged people and people with ill-health and those with large and heavy built body, it is very very uncomfortable and miserable.  It is impossible to travel for more than 2-3 hours.
While for passenger allotted with window-side seat, it is tolerable for
middle seat and aisle seat passengers it is a virtual hell. Hawkers and other
passengers going up & down the passage add fuel to the fire by hitting
every time they pass. One has to only experience the plight of these
passengers and no word can fully explain the miserable condition.
We request the Railways to introduce 2nd Sitting premium class and
allot only 2 passengers per side so that aged senior citizens, sickly passengers, heavy framed passengers and also who travel for more than 5-6 hours can travel comfortably. Railways may increase the fare for these
Premium Seats by 50%, so that Railways DO

NOT incur any LOSS on this
account. Even if 1/3rd of Compartment is converted into Premium Seats,
to startwith, is sufficient.
We request for favourable consideration and immediate  action.
