Recently, I have travelled in this train and henceforth sharing experience.
I has New LHB coaches in very nice condition. The coaches are of WR ADI div but there were 2-3 NR coaches too. and not forget to mention about the mismatch duronto coaches that it has from now itself. The Engine comes over before over the platform (no.1) from vatva side goes ahead and waits over it for the rake to be shunted. The rake come from the opposite direction during shunting and the engine comes again behind to attach itself with the rake.

incharged was as usual Vatva shed's WDM-3D.
Rake is very clean from inside too and also the maintainence by adi div is better than bct counterparts, i felt. Train departed 5 mins late and again stopped over the platform itself for another 5 mins making it a delay of total 10 mins. The route that you get see during the daylight after the train departs is very beautiful and clean. You actually get to see peacocks moving around, as the train is on her way towards Rajasthan. You evening refreshment i.e samosa, veg sandwich, chocolates, tea etc. Dinner is given by 8-8:30, and was ok, not that good. Train was before time in the morning and hence was stopped at Rewari for nice 15-20 mins One more nice and unusual sight that you get to see is Delhi Airport. Through the windows on right side.. you see giant airplanes standing with small distance away from you. that was very great sight to see Airways and Railways so near to each other on ground. and the train finally arrived ontime at New Delhi on plat no.1 where suprisingly 12951 Mumbai Rajdhani rake composition was displayed instead of Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani's with the fact that 12951 arrives after her.

    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...
