2A 2 Tier AC Coach Layout (2024)

FAQs

Which seat is best in 2AC coach? ›

Side lower is the best seat you can get in a 3AC or 2AC coach.

Second AC or AC 2-tier (2A)

It has 6 berths in each compartment. Only 2 berths are there on each side of the compartment and there is no middle berth. Therefore, it is also sometimes classed ac 2-tier. This gives ample space to passengers unlike crowded third AC coaches.

Second AC or AC 2-tier (2A)

Second AC or AC 2-tier is an air-conditioned sleeping car with wide sealed windows. There are four berths arranged in two-tiers facing each other in a single bay with two-tiered berths arranged on the sides lengthwise across the corridor for a total of 46 to 54 berths per coach.

AC Two Tier: These air-conditioned coaches have sleeping berths across eight bays. Berths are usually arranged in two tiers in bays of six, four across the width of the coach and two berths longways on the other side of the corridor, with curtains along the gangway or corridor. Bedding is included with the fare.

In the AC 2 Tier, the backrest of lower berth folds down on the lower berth. The berth is wider and thus more comfortable. Ditto for upper berth being wider and comfortable.

Amenities: 2AC compartments are more comfortable than 3AC but lack some features of 1AC. They do not have lockable doors but have curtains for privacy. They also do not have sinks or charging points, but individual reading lights are provided. Pillows, sheets, blankets, and food are still complimentary [2].

Second AC Class (2AC): The 2nd AC class is a decent compromise between facilities and price. It has four berths in each compartment, with curtains for privacy. While it doesn't have lockable doors or sinks, it does provide individual reading lights and complimentary food, pillows, bedding, and blankets.

Yes. Every 2 Tier AC Coach in Indian Railways has curtains and Purushottam Super Fast Express cannot be an exception.

Charging Points: The second AC class compartments have charging points for passengers to charge their electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, or tablets [2]. Bedding: Passengers traveling in the second AC class are provided with clean and comfortable bedding, including pillows, blankets, and bed sheets [2].

What is the sleeping time rule in the middle berth of the train? According to the circular issued by a railway board, the passengers in the reserved coaches can only sleep between 10 pm and 6 am to allow others to sit on the seats for the rest of the time.

How can I know my coach position in train? ›

Online: Passengers can check their coach position online on the Indian Railways website or mobile application by entering their PNR number. Enquiry Helpline: Passengers can call the Indian Railways enquiry number 139 to get information on the coach position.

Pros. More comfortable seating. The bench in AC 2 Tier is the same size as AC 3 Tier but seats only two people each instead of three. Passengers will also have more headroom at bedtime since there is no middle berth.

3AC coach is the most basic type, with three berths (beds) in a compartment. It does not have a separate seating area like 2AC and 1AC coaches do. 2 AC coach has two berths and a separate seating area, while 1 AC coach has one berth and a separate seating area. All these coaches have air-conditioning facility.

2 Tier AC Coach – Da bottom bed is 185cms long by 67cms wide. Da top one is 182cms long by 64cms wide. Dey're 83cms apart and da distance between da top one and da roof is 77+cms. Da side beds are 187cms long by 55.5cms wide and 187cms long by 54cms wide.

Every one has different like and dislikes so choice of seat no. will vary from person to person. In my opinion in AC 3 Tier always try to book the side berths - upper(SU) or lower(SL). Its a squeeze on the other berths during the day time, with three people sharing space which is comfortably meant for two.
