Re# 3886025-2              
It has improved alot taste was good
But I was not aware that whether lunch will be served or not from bsp after having lunch from home I boarded the train and I was surprised when catering staff came to asked sir will have veg or non veg in lunch but I refused as I already had a lunch
Rajdhani departing at 14:00 hrs and lunch is being served is little shocking

Ideally, they should speed it up in bsp-ngp section and departure time should be kept after 1430, keeping ngp- nzm shared slot timing same.
Then , there will be no confusion

Traveled in this train in Sleeper on Feb 4 from Raipur to Champa Jn.
Coach S5 had only 1 charging point at both sides.
Lots of WL passengers sitting at the doors.
Toilets were strict no for ladies. Gents can manage. Water was filled at Bilaspur. Problem is even at station, some pax get into toilets and thus staff has to skip cleaning.

was 50 mins late at Raipur and was further delayed to 1.5 hours reaching Bilaspur due to freight traffic.
Train was running neck to neck with Azad Hind Express which was trailing behind Raipur-GAD MEMU.
Lots of dinner options at BSP.
Inside train, one can get water bottles, samosas, masala chana and cucumbers, oranges, guavas.

These days starting Vande Bharat is much in news but not starting new trains for daily and short distance passengers
This is reason why Vande Bharat is pelted stones
Public may be made to understand more fare means better amenities
Railways collect 57% of cost of travel but actually by issuing double the capacity 57% or more of fare realising fooling public
Therefore

fare hike may put more rakes on rails and toilets can be made usable by ladies and no passengers can be seen sitting blocking doors

This is an ultimate train for travelling to BSP-R.
Almost "NIL" passengers from Darbhanga-Barauni. Even if you board at Barauni, you will surely get entire seat vacant even in II (Unreserved) coach.
Train gets partially filled at Jasidih and completely filled up at Dhanbad.
