It...
more... was a surprise that 12039/40 got LHB rake and to enjoy this surprise I took a ride just to travel in the train. The comfort has increased more than anyone can imagine. Traveled last time in ICf one and it was very tough to sip morning tea when the train is at MPS. so now the problem has solved. The train crew is still the same but some extra technician were there for smooth working of AC in coaches.It was amazing to see LHB standing in front of big hilly mountains. Last time LKO premium LHB was in kathgodam but could not get time for to see it.The interior of train was very nice as seats were new with plastic wrapped. The train started at 3:35 and the water bottles were provided. Near Haldwani the evening snacks were provided. 1 Sandwitch 1 Paties 1 Fresco Lemon water Tea/cofee I Noga ketchup 1 Sohan cake was provided. The taste was amazing. The train was on time or before time on every station. Speed was good but it would had been better with EMD. The soup was served near Moradabad and taste was good. The dinner was also tasty as the previous one. The overall journey experience was 200% of previous rake. ICF rake of shatabdi did not have table in between the coach this one had.
