'Waterfall' in the Coach: S6 of LTT-Sitapur Express Turns into a Rain Room, Video Goes Viral

Passengers of the 12107 Lokmanya Tilak Terminus–Sitapur Express were left shocked and drenched when the S6 coach turned into a virtual waterfall during heavy rains at Jhansi railway station in Uttar Pradesh. Instead of enjoying a peaceful journey, passengers found themselves in a leaking coach with rainwater gushing from the roof, soaking seats, clothes, and luggage.

The bizarre incident was captured on video and quickly spread across social media, triggering widespread criticism of Indian Railways’ deteriorating infrastructure. The video shows rainwater cascading from the ceiling, flooding the floor and leaving travelers scrambling to protect their belongings. The situation was so surreal that one passenger joked, “Should we take out an umbrella inside the coach now?”

Despite the chaos, no railway staff were found nearby to address the problem, further adding to passengers’ frustration. Social media users sarcastically questioned, “Is this Indian Railways or Indian Water World?” mocking the administration's lack of preparedness.

This is not the first time such an incident has come to light. In the past too, multiple videos of rainwater leaking inside coaches have gone viral, raising serious concerns about train maintenance.

Passengers have demanded accountability and immediate action from railway authorities to ensure that basic travel conditions are met — especially during monsoon season. After the video gained traction online, officials reportedly took note, but as many pointed out, the damage had already been done.

For now, the S6 coach of LTT-Sitapur Express stands as a drenched reminder of the long road Indian Railways still has to travel in ensuring a dry and dignified journey for its passengers.
