इस ट्रेन का विस्तार रोरकेला तक किया जाए तो 10;40 में राँची से चलेगी तो 1:15 pm तक रोरकेला पहुँच जायेगी

और वहाँ से वापसी का समय 2:15 या 2:25 pm मे वहाँ से चलेगी तो अपने समय 5:15 pm तक रांची मे आराम से पहुँच जायेगी

और अगर मुंकिन हो सके तो स्लीपर कोच व लगा दिया जाए टके रेलवे को और फायेदा हो जाय।

मेरी विनती है के इस सुझाओ पर सोच जाए।

18636 सासाराम रांची इंटरसिटी एक्स्प्रेस का रोरकेला या संबलपुर तक विस्तार कर दिया जाता तो यात्रियों को एक बड़ी सुविधा मिलती ।

ये ट्रेन राँची 10:30 am पहुँच जाती है। उसके बाद इसका वापसी का समय 5:15 pm पर है और वैसे ही खड़ी रहती है अगर आगे का सफर रोरकेला तक कर दिया जाए तो 5:15 तक रांची पहुँचने मे कोई दिक़्क़त नही होगी

राँची से 10:40 am में चलेगी तो 1:00pm आराम से पहुँच जायेगी और वहाँ से 2:15 pm मे खुलेगी तो 5:15 कम तक राँची आराम से पहुँच जायेगी

अगर मुंकिन होतो स्लीपर बोगी व लग जाए जिस से रेलवे को नुकसान न हो।

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:

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! ❤️
