Shabdbhedi Express: गति इसकी शब्दों को भेदती है, पूरब को पूर्वांचल से जोड़ती है - Dr. Abhishek Rai

I've traveled twice in the train the latest being on the 26th of Oct from Ahmedabad to Sarai Rohilla.
It stopped at Palanpur for more than 40 minutes. Then ran like a horse and reached Rewari at 04:35 in the morning and stood there till 05:20. Ultimately it reached Sarai Rohilla 15 min late at 07:05.
Rewari is just 78 kms from Sarai Rohilla. This train could have easily completed the journey till Sarai Rohilla in 1 hr and 30 min and reached by 6 am. The same is the problem...

with the Rajdhani which has an unscheduled halt at Rewari for more than 20 mins.
The only thing "premium" about this train is its ticket price and nothing else. The coach and the services remain the same as the Rajdhani. The attendants are much more shameless than their Rajdhani counterparts. They "demand" tips and on being refused stand there and stare at you.
My two tier coach had plenty of empty seats, despite the fact that the Rajdhani on the same day had a waitlist of over 100.
Railways can at the least speed up the train, make it more punctual and improve the quality of the food it is serving in exchange of the premium it is charging.
