It is still the `pride’ of Indian trains and it is true . Moreover you dont carry food on this train — it is served as in shatabdi’s so the question of sharing food ???? Stopping at all possible places — Trains of this order normally dont stop at all possible places . This happens only when there is no line clearance leaving the driver with no choice but to halt at vague places.

Rajdhani’s are great trains to travel with lot of cleanliness, good food and other comforts…

Hope your next travel by train is not as distasteful!!

But for comfort and cleanliness try the newer ones – shatabdi express and if you must travelotherwise take the second class sleeper – two tier. My experiences in trains were equally good and bad. In younger days had done a lot of trian travel but lately it is more by pane all over the world. But having said that, some of the european trains are just as untidy. No rats ofcourse, but you get a bat toilet.

Whereas they were initially aiming to be the “Best of class” as far as travelling in India is concerned now the focus has been diluted so the experience for a Rajadhani passanger is not as good as it was before.

When the Shatabdis and Rajdhanis were new there was a great emphasis on cleaninesss and efficiency. Thats not the case anymore. Moreover they have not added any new services while the fares have headed only north so they will increasingly get marginalised in India.

One factor that cld delay their death is the “fear of flying” that many people in non metro cities have. Anyways lets see.

Personally I’ve been on 1 train my whole life…it was the Kanyakumari Express and it was okay. We had a lot of fun! But when compared to the trains here, I wonder where all the revenue is going. I also fancy of travelling in India in a train….I hope to do that soon 🙂

I was under the impression that the rajdhani was the flagship of the Indian railways and was intending a journey on it when I return to India….
