Useful Useful Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great
After a Week Long Visit at Mumbai for Rakshabandhan wanted to travel in Comfort so booked this, luckily got allotted Lower Berth for the first time in First AC 1A
DOJ- 2nd September 2023
Food: Good Quality, as one can take as much as one wants there truly was no limit tried everything ЁЯШВ, Food is served through Casseroles instead of Aluminium things. Thankfully Cooked Soup is Served from Flask instead of those despicable Packet and Hot Water Deals. Service was good enough no issues there although frequency of visits by
...
more...
Food Guys should increase as one has to search for them if one needs something mid meal.
Cleanliness: It was good enough but I've seen better in the same train in 2A since years.
Coach Attendant: Pathetic, no extra pillows. Once you call him he acts like he's doing you a favour. Doesn't respond to call alarms promptly and got scolded be me twice, I gave 200 Rupees tip to Food Guys infront of him and told them to not give him anything. Even Catering Manager was only seen when he came with Roses and Water Bottle as a Welcome thing.
Maintenance: Coach was relatively Old and has a lot of Jugaad from CR, not what you expect in Rajdhani.
Good Priority enroute. Reached Nizamuddin 39 minutes late due to Normal NR Controlling.
Good Amount of People deboarding at Jalgaon. Jalgaon has an excellent Potential for a Vande Bharat Express from Mumbai.

Useful
Your cases are unique. I haven't faced any problem neither did my friends who travelled in 1A/EC of Rajdhani/Duronto/Shatabdi/Vande Bharat.
Recently in NDLS BSB VB, the pantry staff happily gave extras.
Another point. Nobody asked for tips.
Even Ratnakar travelled in 22221. PC guys din't ask for tips.

Yes, Varanasi Vande Bharat no one asked me.
But in other trains they do ask.
Maybe they don't like my face ЁЯе║. IDK ЁЯШВ

Ok noted.

I' ll try my luck whenever I travel in Rajdhani 1A.
I had the opportunity last year to travel in CR Raj's 1A but missed it due to my own negligence.

Agree
Ya, in none of the VBs, CSMT Raj, Gatiman anybody asked for tips. In premium trains, this compulsory tip culture is declining. Now a days in normal trains 2ac, attendants asking for tip. 22450 PSK, 12874 JSJ, 12708 APSK, 19320 Mahamana, etc (in a couple of trains more). Tumko kis baat ka tip bhai.. ЁЯШЕ Simply deny them. In premium trains too, if service is good, then I tip 50 rs or so, otherwise deny. & they too go without saying anything. Hard to recall when I last paid tip in premium trains, though have travelled in good no. of trains in last 6 months. Previously this tipping culture was so bad that they won't budge off till you paid.

    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...
