FIRST AC in INDIAN RAILWAYS | Sealdah Rajdhani | Full Journey Compilation
#SealdahRajdhani #FirstAC #IndianRailways
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Featuring a complete journey undertaken in the First Class AC compartment of #12314 Sealdah Rajdhani Express from #NewDelhi, the capital of India, to Sealdah, Kolkata in West Bengal. The prime purpose behind this video was to enjoy the luxuries provided by Indian Railways in its highest and best class of travel. To be honest, I wasn't disappointed. It was nothing less than what I had expected.
This video features the on board catering services of the Rajdhani, with focus on the evening snacks, the appetizers, the gala dinner and of course the huge platter on offer at breakfast the next day. Also included are the beautiful interiors of the coach and my cabin along with all facilities available in it.
Special mention to the dedicated shower room where one can enjoy a full fledged hot shower; thanks to a geyser. This is something available only on First Class AC coaches in Indian Railways. Even the washrooms are fitted with all basic amenities.
What comes secondary is the Rajdhani's high speed run all the way to Kolkata. It covers a distance of more than 1450 kms in about 18 hours. That's quite a feat given the speed standards of Indian Railways. The plethora of overtakes of several trains along the way make the journey more satisfying. Special mention to the parallel departure with the Mumbai Rajdhani Express from New Delhi which takes no time to race ahead leaving us vanquished.
Courteous staff, clean and well maintained coaches, delicious food and of course the unerring run made my journey a perfect one. It's safe to say the Sealdah Rajdhani is easily one of the best Rajdhani-s plying in the Indian Railways circuit presently. That's even more staggering given it used to be quite ill -maintained as recently as 4 years ago.
