Yo dude, just rode the Mumbai Rajdhani - 2AC. Train left NDLS 2 mins late, found newspapers on the seat - 2 papers for every 4 seats in 2AC. Water served right after we bounced, snacks post Palwal, dinner at 8 PM; veg food hit the table first, followed by non-veg. AK Rajdhani's got nothing on the food quality, btw. Train's got HOG power, so the power keeps going off in sections, AC cuts off for like a min; charging points too. Train was going all haywire when the speed changed - had us bouncing around like crazy. Chillin' overall though. Train was blasting at 130 KM/h between Mathura and Kota - wild! But yo, some 'elite' folks in 2AC weren't flushing after using the toilet - pretty sad. Almost every other person was begging for an extra pillow, man.

Haal hi mein Mumbai Rajdhani mein safar kiya - 2AC mein.
Train NDLS se 2 min late chali, seat pe akhbaar rakkhe the, 2 news paper 4 seats ki 2 AC mein.

Water bottle turant departure ke baad mila (NZM se pehle), shaam mein snacks Palwal ke baad, dinner lagbhag 8 baje, pehle Veg khana phir non-veg khana serve hua. AK Rajdhani se behtar khana tha.

Train mein HOG power supply hai toh har power section mein, power chala ja raha tha, AC lagbhag 1 min ke liye band ho jata tha aur charging point bhi.

Speed ghatane ya badhane par train bahut zyada hil rahi thi. Us samay train mein baithna/so jana/ghoomna bahut mushkil tha.

Overall, achha safar tha. Mathura se Kota ke beech, train lagatar 130 KM/h ki speed se chal rahi thi, yeh ek zabardast anubhav tha.

Elite + educated class ke log hone ke bawajood, 2AC mein log flush use nahi kar rahe the baathroom ke baad, yeh ek dukhdayak haqiqat hai. Lagbhag har dusra vyakti extra pillow maang raha tha.

The August Revolution Rajdhani is just 5 minutes behind the Mumbai Rajdhani.

August Kranti Rajdhani Mumbai Rajdhani ko 5 minute se peeche kar rahi hai.

The King was royally late by 3.50 hours today! It got overtaken by the Vande Bharat Express, number 22962. Here’s the deal - at BVI station, the King had to chill for 12 minutes to let the Vande Bharat pass. The King arrived at MMCT at 11:52, while the Vande Bharat Express arrived earlier at 11:47.
