Useful Useful Great Great Great Great Great
Journey Date: 21st October 2022.
Clicked a few pictures only as I've covered this train extensively in past.
1. This has good amount of Slack. Covered up 30 minutes delay in WCR, then accumulated same delay in just after entering NCR. This train had excellent 130 MPS speed in WCR. In NCR it rarely touched 130 after Agra especially after Mathura. Not that aggressive schedule in Agra Division. Reached 40 minutes late at Nizamuddin.
2.

Good amount of deboarding at Bhopal and Agra. Huge boarding at Nashik Road.
3. Although my Coach was 2018 made AC 2 Tier, the journey experience was very good. All the littering was due to passengers as OBHS was doing their job nicely.
4. The train had huge number of Waiting List Passengers. In many cases out of 3 Tickets only 1 ticket got confirmed and TTE allowed them to share the berth. TTE told the passengers to not expect full seats as train was full but explicitly told the Catering Staff to provide them all with food without failure, behaviour was totally honest and friendly. He told us that Railway Ministry was directly involved in seat allocation this weekend. Many requests for allocation and HO Quota came from Ministry. For the first time saw people sleeping near doors of AC 2 Tier of a Rajdhani Train.
5. Staff Behaviour is excellent, especially of Catering Staff. Totally caring of different needs. Ready to provide extra food as per needs. Gave him 250 rupees as Tip. Highly in contrast to egoistic attitude of Staff in WR Rajdhani Trains.
6. Food was relatively tasteless but piping hot, much better than my last experience in August Kranti Rajdhani.
7. Significant number of People of Mumbai are still Ignorantly Idiotic, many of them came back from Mumbai Central after discovering their Rajdhani starts from Mumbai CSMT ЁЯШВ. By sheer chance Mumbai Central is 20- 30 minutes away from Mumbai CSMT.

Agree
If ever LTT or BDTS get a Rajdhani then yes.
They'd be roaming all over Mumbai ЁЯШВ
Abhi ke liye according to their limited knowledge, they have one thing clear, Rajdhani starts from one of the big stations in South Mumbai.
If it starts from North Mumbai Stations like Bandra or Lokmanya Tilak Terminus then they'd have a meltdown.

Nice feedback ...My views for some points:

1. This slack is seen post 130 MPS upgradation in WCR but TT remains the same. Of 30 mins, 10 mins needs to be transferred to NCR which otherwise is doing a good job with a very clear priority but delays in NCR is usually cleared by Palwal and the real culprit is NR ...All trains are strangely delayed between Palwal and NZM. NR doesn't seem to use 3rd and 4th lines. Same happens for East side Rajdhanis too viz HWH Rajdhani, PNBE Rajdhani etc
...
more...
which cross GZB almost same time but arrive NDLS with an average delay of 20-30 mins.

7. As for the 7 th point there needs to be reslotting of the Rajdhani
For eg Ex Mumbai it shd be
22221 - 16:00 hrs dep
12951 - 17:00 hrs dep
12953 - 18:00 hrs dep
(Time clarity can also help people identify the trains unless they are dumb enough to neglect it)

Ex Delhi it shd be
22221 - 16:25 hrs dep
12952 - 16:55 hrs dep
12954 - 17:25 hrs dep

    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...
