DOJ: 20th February 2023.
Official Work Company ke kharche pe.
In E1 till Ajmer. Doors opened at 06:15 PM only. Till then I was at Platform #1 Railfanning.
Good Rush for this train, many of people are Daily Travelers getting reimbursed by their Companies. Around 19 Seats were empty in my Coach and one in E2, 14 of them got on the Spot Bookings

as per TTE. Benefits of checking Charts got myself placed in Seat#1 after talking to TTE, enjoyed the benefit of 2 Seats all the way till Ajmer 😂.
I'm.a 6ft Heavy Fellow and Seats are totally comfortable with great Leg Space
*Food*: Good Variety on Snacks served immediately after departure. Didn't feel like having a Kachori so only had packed Items.
Had both Chicken and Veg Dishes, except Chicken all dishes were like they were being prepared for Hospital. No masala or taste.
*Speed*: Immediate acceleration after clearing out switches in Palam. 130 KMPH after Rewari, smooth on Jaipur Ajmer Section but Rewari Jaipur section needs some serious work especially near Jhir, Rajgarh, Harsauli, Bawar etc. the whole coach vibrates badly and situation is worse for Shatabdi.
*Punctuality*: 130 MPS of no use as this Gets heavily regulated. Especially in NWR. Before time at Rewari Outer and Alwar Outer. Got delayed before regulation at Bandikui and reached Jaipur with 20 Minutes delay.
*Patronage*: One or two boarding in Alwar or Rewari, most movement there was passengers going out to buy stuff from Stalls or getting their eCatering Orders. Gandhinagar Jaipur gets good deboarding and 10-12 people boarded there for Ajmer as well. Many Jaipur localites use it to travel between Gandhinagar Jaipur to Jaipur Junction 😂. For a Vande Bharat Express, lot of on the spot Bookings. Seats may look empty but get full last minute. Lots of Daily Travelers. 19 People were remaining in both Executive coaches for Ajmer, counted them myself.

Useful Useful
After extension, it'd follow the route taken by Chandigarh Bandra Express till Delhi Cantt. although chances of patronage would skyrocket with extra convenience if routed via New Delhi- reversal won't be an issue, in 5 minutes the entire halt can be done and dusted with.
As far as FOOD is concerned.....
Instead of going into specialities they've gone into Generally acceptable Food as much as possible. So that people with different needs find those acceptable enough that gave rise to another problem that we see today.

in 1A of many Rajdhani Trains it gets corrected to some extent as there's a dedicated Pantry Car for passengers traveling in 1A. So if someone wants continental or something different it could get arranged.
In Premium Day Time Intercities however it isn't available hence there's less differentiation between food of CC and EC (only difference being Corn Flakes, Fruits, Soup and Dry Fruits that can be arranged with ease).
Hence despite having similar fares 1A and EC are vastly different.
I too choose EC due to less rush, more comfort, more space and respect by Staff (they actually listen instead of treating Passengers as peasants in CC- I've actually heard how they talk to some of passengers with sarcastic tone and it's horrible). I have notified my office travel agent that I'd prefer taking eCatering for Lunch and Dinner rather than opting for train food - breakfast still is somewhat acceptable.
