This TVC Rajdhani is suffering due to poor decision of the railways. This Rajdhani have worst food quality and poor service. Due to Konkan route the food availability is an issue.Pantry staff is Idiot why cannot they run via Bhopal,where from TVC to NIZAMUDDIN it can run with WAP 7 RPM loco with increased speed.The food quality on that route is also good.Chennai Rajdhani is running with Average speed of 77 km/hr and this Rajdhani even less than 70. Bangalore Rajdhani is far better than this Rajdhani .

Sir, I partially agree with you. The service and food quality are indeed poor and need to be rectified. But I don't agree with you regarding route change. This is the only Raj that connects places like MAO to NDLS. Hence, unlike the case of other Rajdhanis, more than one state is dependent on this Rajdhani, and furthermore, it runs with extra coaches even in off season, which shows the patronage.(In Feb, I personally saw it with one extra 2AC and 3AC each, and that too, full). If service and food is improved, then this will definitely be the best Raj. I am travelling in 12431 on 30th this month in First AC. Will definitely see the situation in First AC.
First Ac they will treat u like a prince and then in the end DEMAND 100 from each passenger
Maybe bad food but when I traveled the pantry guys were offering paneer tikka,chicken tikka etc to some passengers in AC2T. Booze is also free flowing in this Rajdhani. When the train stops at Madgaon attendants run to get booze as it is is cheap in Goa. I also went along with an army officer and our coach attendant. We were stopped by some RPF guys on the bridge. The army guy showed his ID and they let him go along with me. The attendant had to pay Rs100 for 5 bottles(Rs20 a bottle). If you love to booze while traveling this is the Rajdhani to take with lot of snacks from the pantry.
Please know it before saying check it in the Kerala Express Forum. I have clearly mentioned on 9 th April 3A was attached with brand new 2012 rakes. Very Clean and different from other. The coach was B2.
The seats were brown like LHB Rajdhani
Lights were not white but yellow and Brand new charging points on every seat.Great attractive to see after long time.

AS B2 IS NEW coach it is in good condition. lets us c what happens after say 6 or 12 months. ill maintenance. similarly i travelled in SL on 07 apr from new delhi to tvc.. it was also good as was newly renovated and even each seat has charging point. but what about other coaches.
