The Rajdhani series of trains were the first of premium class high-speed trains to be pressed into service by IR. The first of these off the track was the 101 (now 12301) Howrah NDLS Rajdhani , which had its maiden run on 1st March, 1967. It covered the distance of 1441 kms in 17 hours at a max. speed of 120 km/h with technical halts at Kanpur, Mughalsarai, and Gomoh.These trains provided two types of accommodation. AC-Sleeper and AC Chair Car. The fare for chair car was probably Rs. 175 at that time but rose to Rs.330 by 1984.
