If you want your favourite seat in General Class of Lucknow Varanasi Shuttle Superfast then follow my trick. This trick is used by most of the daily and experienced travellers and newbies are not familiar with it. From Lucknow, this train departs at 6:00 PM and usually the boarding starts after 5:15 PM. But this train is either already standing at the run-through line between plateforms or at the yard towards Dilkusha Cabin. You can sneak into the train when the train is standing there. Some gates are usually already opened and you can enter into that coach before the train actually enters the plateform. But you have to come 2 hour early to do this trickЁЯШЬ

Best connection in terms of punctuality between Bihar(Patna),Tata and Chattisgarh and better than BSP-PNBE weekly. But be aware, tickets availablity is very much less and gets a huge rush throughoutтАЛ the year. So if you are avoiding these problems then please prefer BSP-PNBE SF weekly.

A journey to remember: 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC food review.

I travelled upto New Delhi in 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC from Howrah to New Delhi on 11 April. It was an unforgettable journey. Although it is a food tip but I will share my total experience in Howrah Rajdhani.

Snacks:

My favourite train never disappoints me! It's saff behaviour was very good and overall punctual! Toilets were clean throughout the journey. That's why Howrah Rajdhani is my favourite train! Love you Howrah Rajdhani! тЭдя╕П

This train comes quite full from before KGP/HIJ only. Since those stations don't have many locals connecting to HWH, plus this local is slightly faster than others, hence many pax board it from intervening stations as well. It almost resembles a Bombay local by the time one reaches Mecheda.

If you are initiating your journey from KGP, skip this one out. Take the Adra-HWH passenger that comes 20 mins after this. This train takes most of the crowd out and you'll easily get a seat, if not window in that train. Both

Booking to/from Delhi Cantt. or Gurgaon may make a difference in confirmation of a waitlisted ticket on the Ajmer - Chandigarh - Ajmer Vande Bharat. When wait-listed:

Booking Jaipur - Gurgaon / Gurgaon - Jaipur has a higher chance of confirmation compared to Jaipur - Delhi Cantt. / Delhi Cantt. - Jaipur
Booking Chandigarh - Delhi Cantt. / Delhi Cantt. - Chandigarh

has a higher chance of confirmation compared to Chandigarh - Gurgaon / Gurgaon - Chandigarh

So if either of those stations work for you, making this choice may help with last minute confirmation

    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...
