First Class Travel on the Rajdhani Express

Follow along on a first-class sleeper train from Ahmedabad to New Delhi. Paying big bucks doesn't mean that you arrive on time or that you arrive at all.

@hyperswivel The air-conditioning was fine, that was not the problem.

@contemporarynomad did you get your refund? I am planning a trip to New Delhi come winter, any tips on train travel? Thanks! Hope you keep posting

[contemporarynomad]

@myRincon Yes, we did get a full refund, however, initially, we were shortchanged. Train travel is the best way to get around in India. If you already know when you are going, book your tickets in advance as things fill up quickly. A good website is makemytrip, which we used many times while we were in India.

Inidian Railway is meant for travel for common masses at d lowest cost..donot compare it with ur luxury trains in west/usa...the No. of passengers Indian railways carry in a single day is more than many of the colonialist countries in ur Europe.....U shud congratulate Indian railways for running cost-effectively this much a gigantic railway network.......

Admit it India stinks more in corruption than human excreta.

[Theairplaneguy4ever]

This isnt even a luxury train and your complaining,try travelling on the palace on wheels or something,i bet your wallet isnt big enough.

[devsaabs]

good to c u spent so much money to smell excreta in india than in your own country.

LOL!!!..what a gay video....

[joycesurgeon]

to whomsoever it may concern,

This is how Indian railways is and we Indians love it, the way it is. In our opinion its the best in the earth. If you are from another nation and think otherwise, please remember, we never ask for your opinion about our railways and we are least bothered about whatever you think about them.....

Sorry for your experience and thanks for visiting, at least you experienced what happens in everyday life of Indians, the dinner looked delicious and the bed seemed comfortable.

[luerexbob]

@rajesg I agree with you in saying that the primary reason for the train in India is to move as many people across in the shortest amount of time, however you are underestimating the number of people that are carried every day by the trains in England.

@elsiebea Ok i must apologize for my outburst! Its just that everyone in the west seems to have this image of india that nothing Indian is ok or safe or gud! Its all monkey-brains-eating, snake-charmers, wife-beaters and so on! And now thanx to fuckin Slumdog Millionaire to the world now india is nothing but a big slum!

I got nothing against you and i apologise but it gets on my nerves smtimes! :)

India is as safe as anywhere else! You just need to be careful as you wudanywhere else!

[arterioes]

I hate Indian rail travel, its definitely reserved for the middle classes, I'd prefer driving my BMW 7 Series through the winding roads of India and enjoy the country side.
