I traveled in this train in December 2019 from New Delhi to Durgapur (round journey) in AC Two Tier (A3 coach). Definitely the infamous North Indian Fog delayed the UP train, thus leading the DN train to leave NDLS with a delay of 2 hours. Hence no complaint on this part. Evening snacks were provided but to my dismay it was totally worthless and was really of bad quality. No flask was provided, the attendant provided us the hot water in the cups directly, not to tell much of them already got cold in the meantime while he was distributing it. I ordered Non-Veg (Egg Curry), and yes the food was excellent, no doubt in that. I was provided with two Paratha, Rice, Mix Veg, Egg Curry and Dal. BTW Curd is provided only in Veg and Non Veg (Chicken). Jain Thali is also available, but one need to...

ask when the caterer will come asking for the order. In Morning though, the bed tea was provided in appropriate manner in flask and all. They usually try to delay the breakfast and try to give it after Durgapur (because unlike Howrah Rajdhani which is preferred by the people from Kokata, this Rajdhani is specifically preferred by the people from Barrdhama, Birbhum and others|.) So if they try to delay it one must go and ask them directly, in that case they give you without any drama or anything. Breakfast was also very good, I have ordered Non-Veg (Omelette). And I was provided with Bead, Butter, Jam, Omelette, Burbon Chocolate and Tea Kit. One can ask them for extra breads and they usually provide it. Cleanliness was maintained up to the core, no doubt in that. The OBHS did a fantastic work in maintaining the coaches. Though the interiors were maintained extremely well but the exteriors of the coaches were really pathetic, it seems like they have never washed or cleaned the exterior. the train was delayed by 2 hours but it had a fantastic run and by the time it pulled up in Durgapur it was delayed by 1 hour 10 minute. In case of Rail-fanning, well the 2 hours delay came up like a boon to us. Trains like Poorva and Mahabodhi departed earlier to us but finally we overtook them in MPS, hence it was really a good experience. Since there was a delay hence got xing and OT with many trains which usually doesn't happen. So yes the rail fanning experience was excellent. So to sum up:

1) Food : 3.5/5
2) Cleanliness: 4.5/5
3) Security: 4.5/5
4) Punctuality: 3.5/5
5) Rail-Fanning: 4.5/5

Conclusion: Sealdah Rajdhani needs to work on its food, otherwise nice and pleasant experience.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
