DOJ: 3rd June 2023
Asli ID se aao Kalka Shatabdi ЁЯШВ.
Had a Journey in this Old Service while returning from Bhopal to New Delhi after Official Visit. Again Executive Class on Company's Dime.
*тЮбя╕П Maintenance: Above Average all things considered, Coach (E1) was REALLY OLD, most likely the first LHB Coach given to Shatabdi in India. Had those old toilet doors which folded...

in the middle. Push Back System wasn't working for most seats. Food Tables had Advertisements of Toilets below them ЁЯШВ, quite literally an allegory to how NR treats it.
*тЮбя╕П Cleanliness: Train was cleaned by OBHS after Journey Started before that they were busy making videos and reels at Rani Kamlapati Station. Toilets were STINKING when I boarded, got cleaned on before Bina Junction but again went pathetic courtesy of Non Sensical Passengers, some didn't even close doors while going to Toilets, truly the most idiotic bunch I had ever seen in a Premium Train.
*тЮбя╕П Food: Above Average, Snacks were bad. Although appreciate that they had given Samosa instead of their usual Kachori, but it was bad especially considering we had left Bhopal known for it's food. Dinner was piping hot but mostly tasteless. Train was vibrating like hell to actually be able to enjoy it. Took Snickers from on board seller instead of taking overcooked Gulab Jamun
*тЮбя╕П Punctuality: Literally crawled from RKMP to Bhopal. Good Speed till Bina, crawled till Jhansi, Good Speed till Gwalior, got regulated at Morena for good 35 minutes, maintained that delay till New Delhi. It needs a 2 minute halt at Nizamuddin for better crowd management as it leads to too much rush at Platform #1 of New Delhi Railway Station
*тЮбя╕П Patronage: Contrary to views of some Geniuses here, it gets almost full from Bhopal Junction. Seats available in current are mostly filled on board or at Bina Junction (surprisingly for some people). Bina Junction gave 7 Seats in Current booking in Executive Class. As usual Train half empties out at Gwalior. Gwalior provides decent passengers for New Delhi, remaining seats get filled at Agra. Lots of Foreigners boarding from Agra and passengers from Agra are provided dinner by Catering Guys.

Ohh that's good to hear, so we can say that Bina is also a good halt, but this absurd halt giving policy for this particular train has given courage to other politicians as well, recently MP from Datia is asking halt of this Shatabdi, what is this train a MEMU?

DHO, MRA are the most useless halts mne khud bhi dekha hai, at DHO not even a single passenger boarded deboarded in my coach, I was too travelling in Executive Class E2, returning from my inaugural RKMP-NDLS VB trip. from my...
more...
coach there were atleast 8-10 passengers deboarded at LAR then I saw that LAR actually provided a good number of passengers.

If they cannot give VB Rake to it then atleast give that spare Tejas Rake which NR uses, since they now have 1 spare VB rake, that Tejas can be utilised here as Tejas Shatabdi running 6 days and 1 day as normal Shatabdi, like this used to run till late 2000s.

Re# 5748525-16              
And that's the exact reason they stopped giving Tejas Rakes to Rajdhani Trains as well. Agartala, Mumbai WR and Patna... That's it. Rumours of Bhubaneswar Rajdhani is due to Political Reasons concerning RM and even we've seen interiors there so we know it's simply Utkrisht Scheme for Rajdhani Trains if anything else.
New VB Trains gives them more marketing than anything else.
Even Bikaner Pune Express was inaugurated remotely by RM, had it been a Vande Bharat we would've seen something else entirely. ЁЯШВ
Marketing...

Sarkar is against each and every concept introduced before their reign and it's khayali pulav only to think that they would invest anything to improve older Premium Trains.
Safety ke naam pe barely working camera
Decoration ke naam pe vinyl
Revenue ke naam pe Food Tray pe Toilet ki Advertisement ЁЯШВ
Acche Din ЁЯЩМЁЯП╗ЁЯЩМЁЯП╗

I say rok do.
Waise bhi it's arriving after midnight.
Neither Zone nor Government is interested in revival of this service. Better to give it's halts everywhere and save Rani Kamlapati Vande Bharat. Datia, Vidisha etc jahaan rokna hai roko isko at least iske naam se Vande Bharat pe nazar nahi padegi inn logon ki.
Ek August Kranti type Premium Train chalao jahaan pe...

yeh Neta log apna halt lagwa ke marketing kare. Bhopal already has a good alternative. Chadhne do iski bali. No one cares about Legacy anymore.
Ek Jan Shatabdi Express chalao Gwalior tak.
Jisko jaldi Delhi pahuchna hai woh Jhansi se Gatimaan le le.
First priority right now is to save Vande Bharat Express from these idiots with halt demands. Baaki ka toh apne haath mein nahi hai.

_/\_:Sad but true
Dikkat pta hai kya hai ki ye krne k baad bhi iss route k neta maanenge nhi wo VB k liye bhi halt maangne lgenge.

Kbhi kbhi to lagta hai route k center me hona hi curse hai wo bhi state capital k liye, kyoki 1 to dedicated trains milti nhi hai, jo announce hoti hai wo phle hi yha wha extend ho jaati hai ya baad me extend krwa lete hai, true for Bhopal and Jaipur. or jo trains bachi hai unko bhi barbaad krne k liye hmesha ready rhte...

hai. MP cannot have dedicated Rajdhani service, chaahte to MP-CG ko combine Rajdhani de skte the lekin BSP Rajdhani ka bhi TT esa nhi h ki Bhopal ko serve kre, 1 Shatabdi hai usko passenger bana rkha hai, ab to mujhe bhi lagta hai ki Bhopal k logo ko hi sacrifice krna pdega hum log apni trains se bhi expect nhi kr skte ki wo convinient terminal se chale, yha kuch logo ko bhot problem thi Shatabdi k RKMP extension se, to thik h ab to me bhi kehta hu ki usko BPL short terminate krdo atleast usse to time bachega kyoki intermidiate se to ab koi ummeed nhi.

Bas Vande Bharat ko baksh de atleast, or usko bhi thoda better TT dede, route me patronage ka bhi potential hai jisko TT thik krke proper utilise kr skte hai, lekin sadly WCR k higher officials RFs ki baat sunte nhi hai except few.
