AC two tire ICF coach has 46 berths , LHB coach has 54 berths.
The most comfortable thing i have found in AC two tire that though you have upper berth you can easily sit on your berth.
You don’t need to put a request towards the lower berth holder for sitting.
It is very very comfortable and gave you peace of mind throughout your journey.
