UBER parking is available at Howrah. This is especially helpful because when this was not present, the Uber cabs used to park at private car parking where you had to pay additional 60 for parking charges. However because of this, you need only pay the fare. There is also a kiosk here where you can book a cab for yourself if you are unable to do it yourself. The UBER parking is located in between the new and the old terminus. If you exit from the old terminus, cross the road and keep heading right and you shall see it. If you exit from the new terminus, cross the road and keep heading left.

Also, when you book a cab at Howrah, they will pick up from UBER parking and so it will be an easy and hassle free pickup

On An Additional Note, If You Are Booking Ola, You Will Have To Board The Cab From The Parking. Hence, An Addional INR 71/- Would Be Added To Your Bill. Make Sure You Don't Pay Cash To Chauffer, Since It Gets Debited From Your Ola Money As A Part Of "Fare". Yes...Try To Book Uber Since They Have Their Own Parking. Ola Doesnt Bother To Have Their Own Parking Since They Are Part Of This Organized Loot At HWH

OLA is a real looter. Looting through surge prices and abnormal fare. Once fare from Belur to Howrah Railway Station was shown as Rs. 600(normal fare is about 150) in the app. Plus, I think Uber availability is better in Howrah.

Even I Have Seen That Uber Is Cheaper Than Ola. Ola Is Looting More In Those Cities Where UBER Doesn't Exist

Yes. They also do it illogically. Even when there are about 5-6 cabs in the area, they still charge surge price. Absolute nonsense

Ironic, one can do a full UP/DN of KGP 10 times for the price it takes to travel within Calcutta itself.

A journey to remember: 12301 Rajdhani Express's first AC food review.

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.

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! ❤️
