I was disappointed by the food. Very limited and bland. The train was also late at all stations. On the positive side, the OBHS staff was very active and coaches were cleaned regularly. Ticket availability is good, but the day I traveled, the 3A coach (B6) was carrying 88 passengers with WL people also traveling. I must admit i have had much more comfortable journeys in 3A. Reaches NZM on PF8 so much easier if you are alighting from the kale khan end.

Train often arrives ahead of time and is held up for 30-45 minutes on outskirts of NZM station for want of platform. If train halts at Okhla, you may alight and take the Metro (Violet Line) to Nehru Place/ Central Secretariat for onward journey, and save a good hour or so.

Yes completely agree, this is always made to halt at Okhla. Seen this everytime I travel in this train.Have even seen people deboarding at okhla who are well aware of this fact.

the nearest metro station to Okhla is Govindpuri...direct buses are available from just outside the okhla station from the Sabzi Mandi (vegetable market) side...nehru place station is in the market and conveyance is a problem it is on the other side.

Dear Sir,
You should realize neither Okhla or Tuglakabad are official halts for this train. You say its better to deboard at Tuglakabad it seems as if the train always halts there.
I've qualified my tip with an 'if', you too can do the same.

This runs with old rajdhani rake which is really uncomfortable, in lunch and dinner they give paratha which is actually not for humans and in the end of there service catering personnals will ask for 'BAKSHISH' for their pathetic paratha.

I travelled in this train last year in coach A1...and this 2nd a.c coach was cabin type....there were not curtains but rolling doors on the lower side whereas in the side lower/upper side,it was as usual curtain......rake is old,rickety and humpty-dumpty like but still clean.........
