Hello. I am in the uk and have booked 4 seats on the 1st Ac from Mumbai to Valsad in January. I ahve booked 2 Upper and 2 Lower, but I'm not really sure what this means? It's only a 3 hour journey I think. Also, what else can I expect on the train? I understand it is a good one? This will be my mother in law's first time in India and would like her to have a good experience.
Thanks

Everyone, thank you very much. For me, i am really looking forward to it. I am an NRI and have used the indian rail on my last visit with my wife. Then we had a 14 hour journey on sleeper class and we didn;t even think about taking any bedding with us!! It was an experience, and to be honest, I was very pleasantly surprised.

So for me, I am happy to experience the indian rail as it is meant to be. The only reason for my query was to make sure for this particular journey because my mohter

in law will be with us and she is, obviously, older than me. But at the same time, I want her to experience the indian rail as it is her first (and maybe last) time in India.
So far, the messages have been very encouraging, so I am happy - Thank you.
Just 2 more points...As the train starts in Bandra, how much earlier will we be allowed to board the train before it departs? I mean to get our luggage on etc? I will be the only male, with 3 females, so most probably, I will be doing all the lifting!! :-)
And finally, where can I get pictures of the inside of the various indian trains? YouTube only has passing shots of the trains...
Thanks
Kamlesh

Dear Sir
This departs from BDTS(Bandra Terminus Mumbai) @ 11:35, and rake will be on the platform before half an hour of schedule departure of the train or you can say around 11:05.
So you will be having sufficient to board the train with luggage.
Wishing you Safe & Happy Journey.

Hey, Brit in Indian here, i've never been first class, but "upper" and "lower" will be your bearths, ie bunks, but as you say, its only 3 hours, and provided those 3 hours aren't in the middle of the nights the bunks will prolly be folded into chairs. the Journey is pleasant in the hustle and squeeze of the general quota, i imagine the 1st class will be even better than alot of the british trains.
