Was onboard 22692/NZM SBC Rajdhani Express on 17/03/24 from NZM to SC lead by Offlink EDLS WAP7 37485. Was travelling in 1A with my coupe E shared with an Ex CPI MP. Maintenance of the train was Excellent. OBHS cleaned the aisel, corridor, cabins n the toilets at regular intervals. Bedding which was provided was clean n fresh. The train departed RT from NZM but pertaining to the ongoing works enroute was slightly delayed at AGC n GWL.Overtook heavily delayed Jhelum Express at Farah.I slept after GWL. Woke up in the morning morning n saw that we were running early. Late running 12724 was just ahead of us n it was taken care at Kalmeshwar. Arrived NGP early by a few mins n had a slightly delayed dep as Geetanjali Express just departed as we arrived. 2A,3A lunch was loaded at NGP. Post NGP run was okish with many restrictions enroute,...

however managed to reach BPQ dot on time. As we arrived NDLS bound Telangana Express departed n NZM bound SBC Rajdhani arrived. Post BPQ it was a mediocre run in SCR SC Divn. Happy that it didn't screw us up. Had few unscheduled halts due to ongoing works. SCR removed few PSRs like 75kmph of Wirur is removed n now trains blast past at 120. Same goes at Ippuguda, 90kmph restriction removed n flat 130kmph clearance is given. Departed KZJ 40mins late, Overtook GKP HYB SPL at Ghanpur n reached SC at 17:40 with a delay of 30mins. Happy that I got a good run, else SC Divn never delays this slot train with less than an hour. Coming to food n catering, it was pathetic. This Raj food was mediocre before n now it's just crap. The standards of catering have scooted down to rags.

DOJ- 04th March 2023
Patronage- Had good Waiting List but ended up having some seats available due to less usage of specific quota. Excellent patronage to/from Kanpur (almost stampede like situation), as expected almost empties out at Lucknow. Good patronage from Kanpur for Ayodhya.
Maintenance- Bad, poor shape. Broken Glasses of Windows. Rotating lever doesn't work for few seats in EC. Window blinds were was broken, I had to roll it up by inserting my fingers ended up getting silver paint of roll blinds all over my finger. Washroom maintenance is good enough.

Fewer mosquitos courtesy of winter season otherwise there would be lot thanks to Ghazipur Nala nearby CDO.
Breakfast- Veg Only due to Ayodhya that too only has One Option, Parontha Sabji. Only Sabji was good rest everything was bad. Good options in ready to make powder tea though. First time saw Lemon Tea, loved it.
Staff Behaviour- Catering guys start serving Soup just before arrival at Lucknow Charbagh. Then they expect "Tips" saying Lucknow waalon ke liye Soup nahin hota humne aapko apne se diya. Total Scam going on. Deliberately serving dishes when one knows maximum movement will be at Lucknow Charbagh only.
Punctuality- As expected due to excessive slack remains before time running just behind Varanasi Vande Bharat. While Varanasi Vande Bharat shows delay of 48 minutes, this train shows no delay at all 🫡😂. Pathetic controlling in Kanpur Lucknow Section, stops at every other stations but reaches on time at Lucknow Charbagh and is deliberately delayed for 12 minutes at outer while WIMT shows train as arrived.

What is the use of such train and technologies for which the railways staff itself isn't interested in maintaining? A flagship level train should receive a flagship level staff and maintenance

    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...
