Hello everyone good morning, dont know where to start from so yea starting from 4th December 2023 i boarded kurj-udz express from kurj to mba to catch Chambal express (mba to pcoi), i travelled in sl of 19665 as journey was short reached mba around 10 minutes delay, from mba i boarded chambal express to pcoi which was around 3 hours late that day, my coach was a1 and was not at all maintained toilet were smelly and dirty, reached pcoi 4 hours late as we had a good 1 hour long unscheduled halt at Naini junction cabin, i think sf tag for Chambal is not a good thing with just 55kmph avg speed, from pcoi i had to go to pryj to catch bbs rajdhani it took almost 1hour to reach pryj as traffic was the there then spent some time at pryj and then boarded my raj at around...

00:32 which was half an hour late and then something happened something which i wasn't expecting, which really made my 1st ever rajdhani journey a nightmare i saw my cabin with full of suitcases and bags a family of 5 was travelling from cnb to bbs and they had like around 13,15 bags ,my seats were 49,51 had to give 51sl to the family as i knew if i didn't do that i would be able to sleep properly (it was heart breaking because i booked this ticket in August thinking that will do rfs and make this journey memorable but sadly nothing happened as planned ЁЯе▓) then next day something more unexpected happened i was not given morning tea and I asked the catering staff for that but he refused to give me saying that" morning ka morning me ho gya" and it was not like ki 11 baje ho I asked him at around 7am for this then i really thought sf and express trains are far superior than so called premium trains atleast they don't charge you a hefty charge, price, had done a complain on railmadad portal and then panty manager came and i had my tea served mind you that was tea made with tea premix not tea bag so it was good ) and i also informed him about extra catering charges i paid for this rajdhani as only three meals are served in this rajdhani morning tea, breakfast and lunch (if you travel from pryj to bbs) which should cost around rs310 but i was charged 400 per person as catering charges so i thought i would get evening snacks also nothing happened in this case unfortunately ЁЯе▓ (baat paise ki nahi hai its just that many people unknowingly pay these extra charges thinking its worth the cost) then i just wanted to reach bbs as soon as possible as my expectations with raj were shattered, breakfast was served at around 8 am which was good especially the cutlet, then lunch was served at around 13:00 pm that was also good and in dessert one patisa (exotic name for soan papdi ЁЯдг) was given all in all meals served on this raj were good problem lies in the behaviour of the catering staff and at last one catring guy came and shamelessly asked for tip i thought to just go angry at him but I resisted my thoughts and didn't say anything bad (just said mere pass nahi hai ЁЯдг) he left my cabin, one more problem with curtains i observed that they were getting out of place everytime any one entered the train i tried many times to keep them in place but they kept going from one side to other as anyone passed i really thought these so called 1st seats in 2ac are not worth it as many times you will not be able to sleep properly as the curtain will keep getting removed away by passing pax, if all this was not enough another shocking thing was my train was overtaken by a duranto ( i know duranto do overtake raj but I didn't knew any train will overtake my train especially considering that it is a tejas raj) finally this long painfull journey came to end and we reached bbs around 2 hours late ( my mother was scolding me as for the past one month i have shared many infos of Tejas raj she literally said in bundlekhandi " udaipur ko sleeper bhi accho hato e rajdhani se" udaipur ka sleeper bhi aacha tha iss rajdhani se, i just laughed at this and said normal trains hi best hai and I rushed to catch ctc puri memu to go to puri as next train to puri was at 8 pm shatabdi and vb so this was the last train till then reached puri at 20:15 pm and really even this memu was good as it was quite empty finally reached puri met my father after 3 long months and after a 35hours plus journey (actually I booked rajdhani thinking that i will board dr gkp special till pryj and also booked a ticket in it but it was cancelled so had to change plans and take 2 trains to reach pryj ) finally in the end i just wanna say jai jagannath

Did you consider travelling by road to katni from khajurao to katni which is 163 kms by road and than taking bkn-puri 14709 (monday) and reach puri by 9:30 am and saves more than 12 hours.. also hirakund is better to reach kur or bbs.

I had this idea also but i didn't wanted to travel by road as you know mp me bus ki halat kaisi hoti hai and taking a private taxi to katni is not a good option either as i was traveling with my mother and she don't feel comfortable in car's ac also time was not an issue, so ultimately had to do this journey this way only as i mentioned before this travel plan was made considering dr gkp special but unfortunately it was cancelled although one thing i could have done was to cancel the rajdhani ticket and could have booked in utkal or Hirakud from lar or vglj as trains to lar,vglj are available from kurj

Agree
Railway eventually need a rajdhani to bbs or bsp via jhansi / katni route. This will be faster than via allahabad or long ngp route bsp rajdhani takes.

    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...
