Goutami Express leaves station without its second class coach

Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh: The Secunderabad-bound Goutami Express train pulled out of the Kakinada station without its Second Class A2 coach today. Later, passengers of the A2 coach had to be transported to Secunderabad by another train, said Rajahmundry Railway Station Master BHV Sharma in Rajahmundry today.[caption id=“attachment_1309909” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Representational image.

However, the train left for Secunderabad without its Second Class A2 coach, which went unnoticed by railway officials. When the train reached Rajamundry railway station which is on the way to Secunderabad, passengers who had booked tickets for the Second Class A2 coach, found it missing and informed the station master. After he verified it, the station master too realised that the Secunderabad-bound Goutami Express train indeed had no Second Class A2 coach. Over 40 passengers who had booked tickets for the Second Class A2 coach, had to be transported to Secunderabad by another train, the Rajahmundry railway station master said. PTI
