It feels bad to see Howrah and Sealdah Rajdhani still waiting for Tejas rake allotment. Mumbai and AK rajdhani and even Patna rajdhani has been given Tejas rakes. Clear cut politics is the reason for ignoring Hwh and Sdah Raj.

Are you serious, or just another overtly sentimental Kannadiga with pride all over your head? When is the last time you took a ride on SBC Raj? If you really take pride in ನಮ್ಮ Bengaluru/Karnataka/SWR, and if you really had travelled by SBC Rajdhani recently, you'd have hung your head in shame!

For God's sake, I have seen rats moving around in that train!!! Even slow moving passenger trains on YPR-Tumkuru-Arsikere or SBC-MYS route are better than SBC Raj (worth the money you pay)! Being one of the first takers of SBC

Raj in April 2012 when it went LHB (back then it still used a WDM3A between SBC and KCG/SC), it's depressing to see South India's only daily and most beloved Rajdhani in such disgraceful conditions today...!

Once sleeper Vande Bharat trains start their journey in IR, most probably Rajdhanis will be given the topmost priority. However, that will take some time. As of now, Tejas Rajdhani is the best possible option. Rajdhanis without a unique livery clearly destroys their grace.
By the way, the coach in the pic looks like a bezel-less coach. Am I wrong ?

I agree about all other things like speed will be limited to 130/160kmph only. So LHB too can do 160kmph with WAP5. But about comfort? LHB is less comfortable than VB.

Agree
I agree on the point that Shatabdi feels better than VB.

I have travelled end to end from MAS to MYS in both VB and SHT few times. VB's seat is as bad as Indigo's & the washrooms start smelling an hour into the journey for some weird reason I can't get hold off. Their constant onboard announcements are another reason to give thumbs down. I definitely got annoyed by the repeated advertisements played on loop along with constant voice about upcoming stop even though the train has just left the either

of the terminals. I can't say much about food since I have never opted for food in both.


SHT's in comparison are zen-travelling. No fancy announcements, washrooms remain clean throughout the journey, comfortable seats.

only drawback is LHB couplings tend to jerk more when the train starts or accelerates and that's with most of the LHB trains.

Correct! In my view, the food is also not good. I have experienced it. The pantry food is better than VB food. There are lot of trains offering good pantry food. But VB, no way. Lowest standard food. They just decorate to look good, i.e butter salt pepper sachets and spoons. taste and quality is C grade. Moreover, VB staff agreed that its made in very bad conditions. My VB trip, the train was delayed by 1:10 mins
