If you want your favourite seat in General Class of Lucknow Varanasi Shuttle Superfast then follow my trick. This trick is used by most of the daily and experienced travellers and newbies are not familiar with it. From Lucknow, this train departs at 6:00 PM and usually the boarding starts after 5:15 PM. But this train is either already standing at the run-through line between plateforms or at the yard towards Dilkusha Cabin. You can sneak into the train when the train is standing there. Some gates are usually already opened and you can enter into that coach before the train actually enters the plateform. But you have to come 2 hour early to do this trick😜

Useful:एकदम सटीक।
Here in CG/undivided MP in earlier times unemployed youths going to appear for exams/interviews at Bhopal, used to enter CDO in Bilaspur and gatecrash through open doors in the just maintained rake of Chhattisgarh Express in the pitlines itself to secure window seat in General Class. This was in 90's decade.
Today's unemployed youth don't think so much over enjoying on parents income....

Even I have done the similar thing in INDB-HBJ Intercity , it used to be parked in stabling line between PF 3 and 4, so I used to board the GS coach of this train while train being parked there, and I am talking about my college time 10-11 years back.

Stabling line at bpl is bw pf 3 and pf 4, but at Bilaspur CDO is 1.5 kms distant from platforms and also guard is present there to block unauthorized entry, though security is insufficient to watch over 4 pitlines and 3 stable lines.

One thing I've noticed while traveling in Howrah Rajdhani.

Pantry staff selling chips, cakes, cup noodles, Chanachur, Bhujia in Rajdhani Express. That's a new thing in premium trains like Rajdhani.

Probably Saraighat Express is the only train in India to serve Chicken momos in the train.

A journey to remember: 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC food review.

I travelled upto New Delhi in 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC from Howrah to New Delhi on 11 April. It was an unforgettable journey. Although it is a food tip but I will share my total experience in Howrah Rajdhani.

Snacks:
...
more...
Veg sandwich, Khasta Kachori, tea kit, Soan Papdi, Salted Almonds. Rating: 9/10

Soup: Manchow Soup with Bread Sticks and Butter. Rating: 10/10

Dinner: Two options were available, Indian and Continental. I opted for Continental. Dinner included Brown Bread, Pasta, Boiled Veg, Continental Chicken Curry (Paneer for Veg), Dry Chilly Chicken (On Special Request). Rating: 10/10.

Morning tea with Digestive Biscuits. Rating: 9/10

Breakfast: Cornflakes with Hot Milk, Mixed fruit jam, Brown Bread, Veg Cutlet (Omlette for Non Veg) with French Fries and Boiled Veg. Rating: 10/10.

Overall Ratings: 9.5/10. Lip smacking food! 😋😋😋

My favourite train never disappoints me! It's saff behaviour was very good and overall punctual! Toilets were clean throughout the journey. That's why Howrah Rajdhani is my favourite train! Love you Howrah Rajdhani! ❤️

Only pillows and white sheets are provided by default in 1A. Blanket wasn't provided last time I traveled. Same goes for hand towels as well. Maybe one would need to specifically request the coach attendant for them.
