Family Trip to Amritsar.
My Father's seat was in E1 while other 3 Seats were in E3, so for the sake of seclusion and Railfanning I chose to sit alone. Swarna Shatabdi Express has RSA with Thursday Service.
Good Slack entire Route, despite Numerous Slowdowns and a good halt before Karnal, reached Ambala Cantt Outer at 09:25 AM- got regulated...
more... heavily to reach platform at 09:45. Even before Ludhiana, train reached early and got regulated.
My Coach was Old, Good Gap between Door and Floor. Holding Rods were inside the gap, totally worthless. Major design flaws in Coach, I guess this coach is Original Imported LHB.
Good Quality Typical NR Premium Shatabdi Breakfast.
Lunch was bad, Rice Undercooked, Dal Stone Cold. Loaded from Jalandhar and immediately served.

Family Trip to Amritsar.
My dad's seat was in E1 while the other 3 seats were in E3, so I decided to sit alone for some privacy and to do some train spotting. Swarna Shatabdi Express runs on Thursdays.
The whole route had good buffer time, even with several slowdowns and a long stop before Karnal. We reached Ambala Cantt Outer at 09:25 AM but had to wait a lot to reach the platform at 09:45. Even before Ludhiana, the train arrived early but still had to wait.
My coach was old and had a big gap between the door and the floor. The handrails were inside the gap, which was useless. Looks like this coach is an original imported LHB and has some major design flaws.
Breakfast was typical North Railway premium Shatabdi quality - good.
Lunch was disappointing - rice were undercooked and the dal was stone cold. They loaded it from Jalandhar and served it right away.

Amritsar Jaane ka Pariwar wala Trip.
Mere Pita ji ka seat E1 mein tha jabki dusre teen seats E3 mein the, toh akelapan aur train dekhne ke liye maine chaiye apne aap baithne ka decide kiya. Swarna Shatabdi Express Thursday ke din chalti hai.
Sari Route pe achcha time mila, waise bhi bahut bar slowdowns the, aur Karnal ke pehle ek achchi halt hui, 09:25 AM pe Ambala Cantt Outer pahunch gaye - baht zyada traffic ke wajah se 09:45 tak platform pahuchenge. Ludhiana se pehle hi train jaldi pahunch gayi aur traffic ke wajah se wait karna pada.
Mera coach purana tha, darvaaze aur floor ke beech mein achcha gap tha. Holding rods gap ke andar the, bilkul bekar the. Coach mein bahut badi design ki kamiya hai, shayad yeh coach Original Imported LHB hai.
Typical NR Premium Shatabdi Breakfast ka achcha quality tha.
Lunch kharab tha, chawal adhik pak gaye, dal bilkul thanda tha. Jalandhar se load kiya gaya tha aur turant serve kar diya gaya.
