A journey to remember: 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC food review.

I travelled upto New Delhi in 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC from Howrah to New Delhi on 11 April. It was an unforgettable journey. Although it is a food tip but I will share my total experience in Howrah Rajdhani.

Snacks:...
more...
Veg sandwich, Khasta Kachori, tea kit, Soan Papdi, Salted Almonds. Rating: 9/10

Soup: Manchow Soup with Bread Sticks and Butter. Rating: 10/10

Dinner: Two options were available, Indian and Continental. I opted for Continental. Dinner included Brown Bread, Pasta, Boiled Veg, Continental Chicken Curry (Paneer for Veg), Dry Chilly Chicken (On Special Request). Rating: 10/10.

Morning tea with Digestive Biscuits. Rating: 9/10

Breakfast: Cornflakes with Hot Milk, Mixed fruit jam, Brown Bread, Veg Cutlet (Omlette for Non Veg) with French Fries and Boiled Veg. Rating: 10/10.

Overall Ratings: 9.5/10. Lip smacking food! 😋😋😋

My favourite train never disappoints me! It's saff behaviour was very good and overall punctual! Toilets were clean throughout the journey. That's why Howrah Rajdhani is my favourite train! Love you Howrah Rajdhani! ❤️

Just a Tip for Saturday runs --
12301/13 both/or either one of them running with BE1. Hence 02/14 will bring back BE1 on Sundays. Valid on Most of the occasions.
.
So WL tkt holders kindly keep a watch.

SDAH DIV adds BE1 In front , before B1
HWH DIV adds btwn B10 & PC.

This feature was there in 3AC when I traveled in December 2017. Even though the speed was slow, connectivity was there. Maybe IR removed it because people were downloading too much.

In every Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto they ask for kharcha pani. You can refuse them too, it's upto you
