Video link: click here
On March 03, 1969, the first ever RAJDHANI EXPRESS was flagged off from Howrah station, making it the fastest train of Indian Railways at that time.
So to celebrate the Golden Jubilee run on March 03, 2019, I and a lot of railfans decided to...

travel on the train.Being a Sunday, it was the turn of the 12305 Howrah New Delhi Weekly RAJDHANI Via Patna. Since all the seats were already booked in First Class by the time I logged in IRCTC, so I and Kaustabh Samaddar decided to book two separate tickets. We booked one First Class ticket from Howrah to Patna, and another First Class ticket from Patna to New Delhi (Where Sourav Dutta will be accompanying us).
So enjoy the journey as I take you on a ride with me on the most luxurious class of the RAJDHANI EXPRESS, and get a complete coverage of the route and the delicacies that were served on board. The entire compilation is divided into two parts, where the first part covered our journey from Howrah to Patna in a coupe, and the second part covers the Patna to New Delhi section in a cabin. On this part you can enjoy the arrivals and departure from various important stations enroute, like Patna, Mughal Sarai, Allahabad and Kanpur. And also you would get an opportunity to see numerous station skips, overtakes and crossings. Unluckily, although were were running more than 1 hour before time at Mughal Sarai, but thick fog next morning ensured that we could hardly hit MPS till Aligarh, and lost a lot of time. Finally we arrived at New Delhi at 11:45 AM, and were once again greeted by a lot of media people and a few railway officials. Interviews and photographs were taken, and sweets (Laddoo) were distributed to the first class passengers.
Overall, it was my first ever ride in a First Class compartment, and I must admit, it was my best ever train journey till date. The amenities, behavior of staffs and Protection Force, delicacies and maintenance by OBHS Staffs wee class apart.
And as I mentioned at the end of the video,
"MANY NEW TRAINS WILL COME AND GO, BUT RAJDHANI WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE KING".

It would be better if this train starts from #Nizamabad (NZB) instead of #Nanded in future, because
1. As Nizamabad railway station has attained junction status, the traffic coming from #Karimnagar and #Hyderabad can have connectivity to Northern India.
2. Nizamabad doesn't have any direct trains to Nation Capital, nor any other major city of North India, while Nanded has 4 trains towards New Delhi. Nizamabad is just 110 kilometers from Nanded.

Passengers from Nizamabad who want to go to Delhi, should first go to Hyderabad, which increases the travel distance and time.
4. The distance from Nanded to Una Himachal is 1857 kilometers, if this train is extended upto NZB then the distance from Nizamabad to Una Himachal will be 1967 kms, just an increament of 110 kilometes.
5. Nizamabad to #NewDelhi via Hyderabad is 180 + 1676 = 1856 kilometers, which is way more than
Nizamabad to New Delhi via Nanded is 110 + 1471 = 1581. Thus reducing a distance a around 300 kilometers.
I hope that the #RailwayMinistry takes this into account and #extend this train.
#Admin #Moderator #RailMinister . I tweeted this to #SureshPrabhu . As voice of everyone is stronger than voice if one, I request you guys this to take this to the minister.
