DOJ - 26.08.2013 from NDLS-DTO by Ranchi Rajdhani (via Daltonganj)
This was my first journey in this train after this was given LHB Rake.
1) Departed Right time from Platform No 14 from NDLS and was crawling for the first 30 mins and after that it made the feel of Rajdhani + LHB and was running a super speed. It was absolute stunning to see the way it zoomed past Aligarh Station.
2)...
more... Engine was WAP7, the first time I saw on ranchi rajdhani.
3) Coaches were neat and clean.
4) Breakfast was served around 5PM (Veg Patties / Bikano Bhujia / Sohan papdi / Frooti / Tea / 2 Eclairs toffe.
5) Typical Soup in Rajdhani served around 7 PM
6) Dinner was around 8-8:30 PM followed by Ice-Cream and people were on the way to have a sleep.
7) I had to get down at Daltonganj so no Morning Tea/Breakfast.. Train reached DTO around 40 mins late.
Over Good Exp.. would rate 8.5/10 and after LHB rake provision this train has improved million times I can say that.
Had a video taken at NDLS, but unable to transfer.. trying to sort it out and hopefully can put it.
