The date of journey: May 9th, 2024. One word to describe it: awesome. ER Premium Trains are top-notch 👌. The food is fire, the Mishti Doi is mind-blowing (bought 12 to take home), and the staff is hella polite. The coaches are kinda old but shiny af due to top-tier maintenance. This train is the real deal. It made me wish LTT Prayagraj Duronto, Shatabdi Trains of Delhi, and Vande Bharat Trains were this good. Reminded me of the good old days riding the 12417 Prayagraj Express IC 3A decades ago. Finally got the chance to be aboard a premium 2A train after ages, felt like a boss. Definitely gonna try the 1A journey from one end to the other when time permits. I must say, Bikaner ain't poppin' enough for this dope service, mostly folks board at Ratangarh heading to New Delhi. But for train enthusiasts, this route is lit. I could finally chill with my tablet after crossing Rewari, before that it's all desert views. Good timing for crossings with other trains and with Prayagraj Bikaner Express. Stayed an extra night in a hotel in Bikaner just to ride this train again the next day. The whole experience was lit. Enjoyed both the lower berth for a bit and the side lower when I got bored 😂.

General folks are askin' for some special trains to Bhagalpur through KG line. Why does Railways only pick PNBE route when Gaya route is an option too? PNBE already has plenty o' trains. KG line should get more special trains than PNBE. Honestly, DNR division and East Central Railways ain't givin' a damn 'bout KG line.

Abhi toh aam log bhi maang rahe hain ki kuch Bhagalpur ki taraf jaane waali khaas train KG line ke through chalai jaye. Railways kyun sirf PNBE line ka chunnaw kar rahe hain jab Gaya route bhi toh available hai. Bhot saari trains PNBE ke through jaati hain. To KG line ko PNBE se zyada special trains milni chahiye. *Sach mein, Na to DNR division KG line ka dhyaan rakhti hai na hi East Central Railways.*
