GUWAHATI: For those who travel on Rajdhani, Shatabdi Express trains, your journey is going to get better and will improve in the near future.
Indian Railways has decided to upgrade the experience of train passengers on Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express trains.
Come October, you can say goodbye to jerks when traveling on Shatabdi and Rajdhani Express trains. Indian Railways is installing a new type of coupler system in these premium trains in a bid to provide smoother train travel experience to its passengers.
Indian Railways is looking to install aircraft-like flushing system, to provide stink free toilets to the passengers. Additionally, odor-control systems are also being attached to the flush which releases a pleasant smell each time the toilet is used.
In a bid to maintain a better quality of the food, IRCTC, the catering arm of Indian Railways have also changed the menu. Reportedly, there has been a cut down in the amount of dal and vegetable in the new menu, only with the expectation that it will help the department maintain quality. Also, IRCT has decided to serve boneless chicken in the non-veg thali. A change in the menu of Shatabdi Express trains is also on the cards with the introduction of aircraft-like combo meals. Some of the items being considered include idli sambar and chole bhature!
