Pantry Staff were good and gave us extra chapati's(during lunch), tea/coffee on request. They asked for tips just after Lunch
People who board from Mathura Jn also get the breakfast or not ?
Food menu for 1A/EC
Food is supplied by MEALS ON WHEELS
biscuit nahi digestive biscuits lolzzzzzz
Any idea what is the MENU server in CC ?
What is the difference between biscuits and digestive biscuits xD
Eat digestive ones to digest the (indigestive) biscuits.
You will get 'Desert' not 'Dessert' in this train from MOW.
Be ready for plateful of Sand. 😂
#Joke
1. Just before NDLS departure coach attended give news paper (hindi/English or both) but didn't give rail bandhu magazine , after departure he give 1ltr water bottle and lemon water
2. After we cross faridabad catering boy give tea kit with digestive biscuits , but cup kafi ordinary tha and uspe "स्वछता अभियान" likha hua tha ,,and tea ke lie jo water tha wo bhi tea banane ke hisab se kafi kam garam tha
3. Breakfast served at Mathura station , pantry staff is in very hurry he even didn't ask anyone...
more... what he want in breakfast
4. After that just before Morena one pantry staff come in our coach with "sauf" in tray and asking for TIP *shameful* bcz thy didn't deserve it
Coach condition - poor , very dirty (3/10)
Staff behavior - not good , they evan not able to provide hot water for tea bt still asking for Tip (1/10)
Food - breakfast was ok (5/10)
Speed - only this part was awesome in this train, we arrived 10min before at agra and ontime GWL (10/10)
is the pantry staff authorized to ask for tip?
main kabhi travel to nahi kiya but i think india me kahi bhi TIP allowed nahi hai
Shame on the Management ! This is the most admired train by foreigners also and it sets a tone in their minds for Indian Services.
Many IRI Members have posted about the same neglecting behavior + shameless tip demand by on-board catering staff of the BPL Shtb... a big red from my side on this train's catering even if I haven't traveled (IRI Members' feedback matters)... at least, they should treat the passengers well before demanding tip but then demanding tip is not allowed since they won't do a favor by serving the passengers nicely... it is their damn duty for which they get salary :-p
Sir ye lemon water peeke to mera gla kharab ho gya tha.. Dadu ka lemon water . Mujhe bilkul accha nhi lga ye. was in 12040 anvt shatabdi
I booked tickets from New Delhi (6AM) to Agra (7:57AM) for 24th October.
Meal preference was asked for in the irctc booking page.
Will breakfast be served before Agra? Or will it depend on luck regarding timing?
U will get welcome drink , tea kit and then breakfast between NDLS-AGRA
Guys... if possible should ignore powdered Tea or milk as they are acidic most of the time. Just a suggestion.
Again...... Meals on Wheels(MoW), Never expect good from MoW.
