Inside India's FLAGSHIP Tejas Rajdhani from Delhi to Mumbai

[@ArunWadhwa]

Misleading thumbnail. First Class doesn’t always equate to luxury. There are trains like Maharajas’ Express, and then there are trains like Rajdhani. The former is a luxury train while the latter is just a speedy (for Indian Standards) train that does offer first class cabins. You might want to check out the former before declaring a random train as ‘India’s most luxury train.’

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Well done, you got the joke 😋

[@IamOrdinaryFool]

Rajdhani is a worst train. Staff. Catering. aC leak and sometime smoking passengers in rest room. Dirty linen. Only Bangalore Nizamuddin Rajdhani is upto the mark. Its the effort of Bommai.

[@IamOrdinaryFool]

Upro a couple of years back, the charging points in Rajdhani is worst. I Phone is unstable while charging and the processor fails.

@9:12 you see the electrical system is 110 V in a country where 220 is the standard domestic line voltage. It's a clever anti-theft deterrent. Light bulbs and other appliances can't be used outside the trains, and not worth it to buy a 220-110 converter.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

#FunFact ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@prasannask8320]

That is an urban myth that 110v was used to deter theft. The real reason why 110v electric devices are used is coz every train coach back then was self generating. It had a generator which generated power ( connected to wheels for mechanical to electric energy conversion) and two banks of ten 12volt batteries for storage. Those ten batteries of 12 volt means total of 10 * 12 = 120volts That is why all equipment was 110/120v . Now it is all regular 220v basic supply from either from HOG or EOG cars which gets converted as and where needed like fans need diff voltage, LED lights need diff level , AC equipment needs a higher current supply and so on

[@gtgene]

@@prasannask8320 Makes sense that it was an older system. So now all trains will use 220?

[@nigelmansfield3011]

I travelled 3rd Class unreserved in 1973. It was an experience. I soon learned to throw my bag through the window onto the overhead luggage rack.

Just for information, Indian railways fastest train can run with 200 km/h speed but due to tracks and density of trains, they are limited till 130 km/h. Fact is that government is improving it...

[@death_parade]

@gauravsharma8052 Well, its not just the tracks, but also the signalling. Thankfully, all the route interlocking systems that relied on electromechanical relays are now being replaced entirely with solid state electronic relays across the entire Indian Railways network. And Kavach TCAS (Train Collision Avoidance System) is being rolled out on trunk routes (2000 km this year and 34,000 km by 2027 are the targets for Kavach 1.0). Meanwhile, Kavach 2.0 is also being worked on. Mind you, even in Europe in countries like Germany also, ETCS Level 1 is not there on all tracks. All this combined with track upgrades AND track de-congestion efforts (freight-passenger train track separation via Dedicated Freight Corridor and doubling, tripling and quadrupling of existing tracks) will ensure that average speeds increase and that trains stick to the schedule with minimal slippage.

[@hemantv1676]

Why don't we upgrade with standard guage

[@death_parade]

​@@hemantv1676 Because our entire 125,000 km of railway track is broad gauge, as is our entire rolling stock of hundreds of thousands of wagons and tens of thousands of locomotives. And to replace all this will take two decades of work and cost an ocean of money, time and resources while also causing a massive amount of train delays continuously for the next 20 years. Why 20 years? Because we barely lay 4500-7000 km of new track each year and barely make a few thousand coaches and few hundred locomotives per year. And my assumption of 20 years takes into account an increase in this rate of track laying and rolling stock manufacturing. And all this done for what benefit? None. Nothing that the standard gauge can do that the broad gauge can't. Not me that is saying this, it is Mr Alok Verma, who is one of the premier Railway Engineers in this country. Kake thoda thand rakh. Railways is doing all it can to develop faster rail travel in India.

15:40 It is 8 beds per section in AC 3 tier not 9 beds per section. Ac 3 tier is the most preferred option by Indian locals as it is quite economical and that's the reason you see most of the coach in a train has most ac 3 tier coaches.

But it's 9 berths per section in Garib Rath Expresses. It's probably the only exception.

Good, it's about time they get ride of that antiquated system

There is nothing better than Rajdhani AC First on Indian Railways network, so really happy to see you enjoyed it!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Yes, true, a fact most people don't seem to grasp is the the Maharajas isn't a normal train 😂

[@baghupapanray4777]

@@NonstopEurotrip Dude he is talking about the Rajdhani Express not the Maharaja's on Wheels.

[@roh-mj6em]

​@@baghupapanray4777he is saying rajdhani is for common traveling where as maharaja express is toutist train. So rajdhani is best in passenger section. But soon we will get venda Bharat sleeper need to see how its going to be.

[@gparyani]

One thing to note, for context re. why you don't get seat assignments in advance: the seating arrangement for AC First Class is decided manually by humans. As was mentioned in another comment, staff take into account the age and gender of the travelers and their companions to decide the best seating arrangement. On the lower classes, seats are automatically allocated by a computer at the time of booking.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

As I said, a stupid system

[@Edward4Plantagenet]

​@@NonstopEurotrip, same white people say, "ohh, we can't sleep with some stranger sleeping next to us". Had computer done it, you would have end up seperated with your other self (you brought 2 ticket, second seat might have been in Cabin, rather than coupe). Computer would have allocated berths by 1st come, 1st serve if before your booking all the passengers had filled Lower berth preference. (Because 1AC seats are very limited). You should be glad that they did it manually that's why you got your second seat in same coupe. Be thankful. Don't be ignorant arrogant. Yours is very st00p... Ignorant comment.

[@gparyani]

Yep, definitely stupid. I identify as nonbinary and I feel more comfortable not having an all-male or all-female cabin. The humans that assign seats in first class are still bound by outdated notions of the gender binary and heteronormativity, while the computer that decides seat assignments for the lower classes doesn't take any personal data into account unless one explicitly books a special quota.

[@SumitBisht0]

Nope, the reason is that on first class tickets, there are various reservations (politicians, railway officials) so they can decide on who to travel. Its not really commuter friendly system.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

no, because the reast of the world gives you a seating plan you can choose your own bed from, or book the whole compartment to yourself if you want. that's the sensible and common way to do it.

[@nikhilPUD01]

Indian landscape are just amazing. Coming out from the dense city its a Wonderland 😍

[@SatishKumar-ut4pu]

A nice video coverage yes these trains are worth the ticket where you also get hot quality food cooked and served on board , truly in pas 10 years Indian railways are thriving ahead in terms of service and quality, of course money costs but it is still quite reasonable compared to many countries

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Yes, you are right 👍

In 1990 i travelled to kolkatta from chennai in 2 tier a/c mostly same travel hours. In 1995 i travelled with my father from kolkatta to delhi in Rajdhani express first class with sleepers costing more than air tickets, leaving kolkatta at 5.45 evening and reaching delhi at 9.05 next day.

hope so that when u will again visit our country in the future we have our high speed rail network ready and see u make a video on it. also u can also consider to make a video on rapid rail or rapidx (it is also currently under construction will be operational very soon) although it dosent come under normal railways but still it connects satellite city of delhi which looks much modern than conventional indian railways.

I hope so too!

There are few mistakes or some things that you have missed in the video- 1. The food in 1st ac is unlimited, you can demand as much as you want. 2. Wap-7 way go faster than 140 kmph,but it's limited to 130 in these. 3. You also get linen in 3rd ac, infact in all trains you get linen in AC sleeper coaches no matter the class. 4. There is geyser for hot water in shower. 5. The tissue paper gets thrown out when rotated on western sheets. Doesn't comes back 360°.

[@mikyM82]

On every 1st AC of IR you are free to indicate a preference for a 2 bunk vs a 4 bunk, at the time of reservation. I believe the railway lingo is cabins and coupes. And you are reasonably assured to get what you asked for, even though they let you know 4 hours prior. Yes it doesnt help that you only come to know exactly what, 4 hours prior. But there is a very good reason for that. Would be glad explain more if you are curious. Reasonably because the worst case is the two of you might end up in different rooms. Especially if the train has very limited 1st AC and there is rush. But chances are really low on any Rajdhani. I took this trip last in the thick of the 3rd wave. They were not serving food and linen at the time. But my opinion is there are better Rajdhani 1st AC food experiences in India, and on some of the Duronto as well. This train however is reputed for its running time and efficiency. I quite liked it. Congrats on the trip.
