Would like to mention my lastest experience atravelling by Deccan Queen. I Acutally book two tickets one for myself and mother ( Senior Citizen ). The very thought of trvelling by DQ after ages were gvivng us a thrill to experience this trip. Since the express way we stopped travelling by Train.

True, real, pathetic & certain...
The train when started was to allure road & air traffic for smooth & sound travelling!!
With so much population, option & fast movement option, intercity train's are loosing relevance, once they use to be! Now, these arnt catering class apart & rail fan, but no discrimination exist & leaving name, its all are same & alike!!
Been CC/2S

option, replacement doesnt happen faster, as it should be. Dedicated Rake too is an issue!! CR is getting worst name in Coach Maintenance!!
But gud news: If u compare with some other prestigious train, u still find DC @ least lesser nightmare. To name a few:
1. TAJ EXP: Stinking Rake
2. Gomti Express: A train, u never wanna travel again
3. Flying Rani: What this train has made out to be???
4. Ajmer/DDN Shatabdi: ALL AC Intercity, no more than that!!
5. No experience, but hopefully LTT-MMR (Earlier Godawari EXP), Agniveena, Black Diamond, Coal-field etc., would all be stinking!!

IR along with overloaded trains, with irresponsible traveller has killed travelling passion & experience!!
Now all of us compromise, let it be Intercity, Shatabdi, Rajdhani, Duronto or whatever.
But IR isnt completely @ fault. No price hike (reduction although), population & its load, traveller neutral attitude towards rail as national tressure & re-usable etc, too has to be counted!!
