On my recent Ahmedabad trip I opted for Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express from New Delhi. In this context, it’s important to mention that I bought an AC 3 Tier ticket for my journey. This was also my first journey ever on a Rajdhani train.


The train left New Delhi Railway Station exactly at 7:55 PM(its scheduled departure time). Till then everything was okay. My co-passengers(mostly Gujarati) were quite friendly. However, soon my nightmarish sort of journey started when I realized that my share of blanket was missing. I told the same to Rajdhani service men and they stated that they are looking into the matter. But in reality they never did! When I reminded them again of my problem, they stated that an extra blanket is just not available. I never expected this type of a rude behavior and to some extent it came as a shock to me.


After a while, hot tomato soup and cheese sticks were served. The tomato soup tasted quite unusual and I didn’t like it at all. Although none of the other passengers complained, I started feeling a little bit sick. After 20-30 minutes dinner was finally served. By that time I had very little hunger left(maybe because of the unusual soup) and was also experiencing a slight vomiting tendency. So, I decided to eat very little and settled for rice and curd only. But after a while I felt a discomfort in my stomach and had to rush to the bathroom. And then again and again my chain of misery continued. I soon realized that I was suffering from a stomach upset. In this context, it’s important to mention that the toilets at the Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express were not as per my expectation. Although running water was readily available, some of the washrooms did not have the provision for liquid soap. This I felt was completely irresponsible!


In the morning, none of the passengers received a newspaper(although the service men promised to do so in the night). Instead, they demanded money(tips) for their poor service! So, for all these reasons, I am sorry to say that I never quite enjoyed my first Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani trip.
