One of my bad train journey experience I ever had. Started journey on 26/05/2022 from NDLS. After boarding I found many unauthorized ticket-less person in our seat. One of them travel the whole journey with waiting-list ticket which I didn't see. Even TT allowing him without showing any ticket even after my complain. Rail tweeter doesn't reply this now. Seems I am traveling some mail train.
Then comes housekeeping. No house keeping or linen stuff present in our coach. Pantry stuff doing all the cleaning. Trains ran with broken lock and chocked toilet. I got very bad experience.

For Railfanning on Kanpur-New Delhi stretch, this Rajdhani train is perfect.
Train staff is very decent and cooperative.
Just be careful of RPF and mind your and of others Safety and Comfort issues.

It's difficult to pick a single tip category for this train. Food, speed, bedding etc- everything is good. Probably the train with highest priority in this country.
Only two negative points from pessimistic view:
*Goes into WL very fast.
*To all apart from those who think that as this has LHB rake so it does not shake its waist or who are too optimistic
...
more...
not to see any negative in LHB coaches- jerking may be a problem just like in ICF, especially when at the highest speed and crossing track joints. Please do not stand within 2 feet from open door if not holding anything. You can fall outside.
So, ultimately, this train is not for railfans.
You will find it special to see too many staffs engaged serving only one train compared to other trains.

You r right WRIK . This train is not suitable for railfanning.Firstly doorplating is quite a difficult task & secondly the windows are not suitable for night vision outside. Only in daytime the outside scenery could be seen through them .

m a frequent traveler of this train since last 2yrs.. everything was perfect until last 17th Oct when IR raised the fares n blamed it to Catering services.. the Food quality n quantity degraded since then...
n yeah... it do get jerks... dont know whats wrong with IRCTC i always get seat number 71 n any Bclass fir chahe wo B1 mile ya B9 I mean i preferred SL due to vision n privacy point of view lekin hamesa 71 number hi milta hai, n as its close to door.. n just above the wheels.. jerks jyada feel hote hain :D

Re# 923523-3              
Same with me, i like SL seat when traveling alone, but always gets the seat which is next to the door (no matter when i book the ticket i.e. at 8am on opening of the ticket window of travel date, or during last few availability of seats, always near the door seats be it SL/SU or one in 6 of L,M,U always next to doors), very disturbing...
