#iUsedToBe - Shatabdi
There are many examples that a train service is replaced by another type of train. Here I am listing out some of such trains. These trains were either announced or started as Shatabdi, but were later changed based on public demand or patronage. Let's see how popular these trains are and how they are performing in the changed avatar. So pls vote for your favourite one on which you would like to travel.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.
