Answer 2

Two Tier Air Conditioned Class (2A)Sharell Cook

Two Tier Air Conditioned Class, known as 2A, attracts India's upper class travelers. There's much more space, as there are only four beds in each compartment. The beds are stacked vertically in two tiers on either side. Just like in the other classes, there are also two tiers of beds along the aisle outside the compartments. Bedding and towels are also provided, the same as in 3A.

The best thing about 2A is the added benefit of privacy curtains on the entrance to each compartment, as well as across each of the beds that run along the aisle. The curtains are usually always kept drawn and this class of accommodation is quite devoid of any interaction.
