Here’s a visual representation of the AC 2-Tier (2A) coach seating arrangement commonly found in Indian Railways. This snapshot provides a helpful overview of berth layout and numbering.

Understanding the AC 2-Tier (2A) Coach Layout

Coach Configuration

  • Two-tier sleeping berths are arranged in open-plan bays:
    • Main side (across the width): 4 berths per bay — 2 Lower Berths (LB) and 2 Upper Berths (UB).
    • Side section (along the aisle): 2 berths — Side Lower (SL) and Side Upper (SU).
  • Thus, each compartment (bay) contains 6 berths in total.

Coach Capacity

  • ICF coaches typically accommodate 46 berths.
  • LHB coaches can contain up to 54 berths.
  • Bedding (sheets, pillows, blankets), curtains for privacy, individual reading lights, and charging sockets are standard amenities.

Typical Seat/Berth Numbering (ICF Layout)

Rows follow a repeating pattern similar to:

 Main Section      Side Section
[UB][LB]    [LB][UB]   [SL][SU]

Refer to IndianTrainInfo’s ICF seat layout for exact berth numbers:

  • LB (Lower Berths): 1, 3, 7, 9, 13, 15, 19, 21, 25, 27, 31, 33, 37, 39, 43
  • UB (Upper Berths): 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 22, 26, 28, 32, 34, 38, 40, 44
  • SL (Side Lower): 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41, 45

Additional Details

  • Privileged Amenities: 2A offers better comfort—more legroom and privacy—compared to 3A, making it suitable for overnight journeys and premium travel.
  • Berth Dimensions (as per measurements from railfare enthusiasts):
    • Lower berth: ~185 cm length × 67 cm width
    • Upper berth: ~182 cm × 64 cm
