Is second sitting in Indian railway reservation air conditioned?

Answer 1

no, never, besides u get wooden seats instead of padded ones, the worst train to offer 2s seating in India is called Flying Ranee aka "The Train From Hell", the passengers who travel daily in this double decker trains 2S (2nd Seating) compartment were probably born in hell as they give all non-daily passengers a hell of a time. I hate travelling in this train more than anything else in the world. I actually pity these bullies who have to travel to Mumbai from Surat daily for jobs. They couldn't find a job nearer to their home and couldn't find a job that allowed them to afford a home nearer to work either, these poor souls see their kids only on Sunday and are known as "Sunday Daddies". These gujjus are basically cowards, but when travelling in groups in this stupid train, they become lions and don't back down from harassing kids, women, or even the elderly. They write names on the seats and if anyone sits on their seat they make pandemonium and get their 20 goonies together to harass people out of their seats. This happens in General Class 2S compartments where the rule is that whoever reaches the seat first gets to sit. But in this train when these idiots board the train from various stations between Surat and Mumbai they make the people get up from the seats or threatn to beat them up. The policemen and the TT in the trains just watch like fa got ts. Its a shame.
