23010/Σ SVDK - NDLS viA CDG (no waitlist) Express ΣChain

Ya know, the scoop is that on 23rd November 2023, I hopped from New Delhi to Ambala Cantt in an Executive Chair Car. Wasn't really feelin' sharing this 'cause the trip back wasn't all that smooth, but hey, here we are. It was the OG Vande Bharat train from 2018. Let me spill the tea - the maintenance is a joke, man. Buttons to recline the seat were bunk in many chairs. We made a solid pit stop at Sadar Bazar, and had a bunch of slow moments before Karnal, but still got to Ambala Outer ahead of schedule. The breakfast spread's more impressive than the Amritsar Swarna Shatabdi Express on the same route, but the flavor ain't all that. And oh, no 'jam' available on the Vande Bharat train 😂 Weekend vibes were strong on the train, y'all - definitely need more coaches. It's a hit with the business crew 'cause it rolls super early unlike what folks were yappin' about. Folks were scramblin' for seats last minute, some even had to stand on the platform.
