Disagree:Irrelevant now Disagree:Dinner served 7:30pm itself
The catering in this Rajdhani is not good. Passengers have to regularly argue with the catering staff for dinner before the train reaches Chennai Central. They usually skip or try to skip the dinner last night because many passengers are in a hurry to deboard because they have connecting trains. You should force the waiters to provide dinner early because they will not give it by themselves.
