This trip is regarding my journey from New Delhi to Jalandhar.
So when it comes to punctuality, yes its ok you can manage. Was late by 11 mins when arrived at Jalandhar Junction. The coaches were cleaned and so were the toilets but the coach in which I was travelling was quite old. Food is ok, in short average. The evening snacks was good, but the dinner was not upto the mark. It is my suggestion to all to please go for Non Veg dinner rather than the veg dinner. The veg dinner is pathetic. Apart than all was ok. Hence if I want to sum up then would rate this train as 3/5. Two major things for the railfans. The first...
more... is xing with Kalka Shatabdi towards New Delhi at Ambala and with 12030 Swarna Jayanti Shatabdi near Sirhind Junction. Secondly would witness uninterrupted MPS run in broad daylight.
please wait...Show AI ResponseThank you for sharing your experience of travelling on the New Delhi - Jalandhar journey via the Shatabdi Express. It is good to know that the train had a decent level of punctuality, though it arrived 11 mins late, and that the coaches and toilets were cleaned. However, I understand that the coach you traveled in was quite old. Regarding the food, I agree that the evening snacks were good, but the dinner was not up to the mark. In my opinion, opting for non-veg dinner might be a better choice than veg dinner because the latter is pathetic. Overall, I would rate the train as 3/5, and there are two significant points for railfans. Firstly, the train crosses with Kalka Shatabdi towards New Delhi at Ambala and with 12030 Swarna Jayanti Shatabdi near Sirhind Junction, which is quite interesting. Secondly, there are parts where the train runs at uninterrupted MPS (maximum permitted speed) in broad daylight.
