The ingenuineness of this review appears doubtful. Justify your opinion.
I feel this review is:
Yesterday, 22nd, April 2024, I boarded morning Shatabdi (12006) (Chandigarh to New Delhi) and returned by 12045 on the same day. It’s not now a prestigious train in India, moreover it’s shocking, that the train become a “shukar bazaar” vendor selling snacks, noodles, and other foodstuff disturbing the peace of mind of passengers. The most surprising thing was when a beggar boarding from Ambala (UMB) in coach no C9 started bagging where the doors were auto-locked. Above all the quality of the food being supplied to the passengers has an inferior experience and the supply of material was abysmal keep waiting for a long time. On my return by 12045 cCE-1 the food that I was served during the journey was fresh and hygienic moreover, the quality was very short (Chicken pieces in a dish were hard to find) couldn't consume that food at all. Shatabdi is the best train in India and it’s supposed to be flawless with the amount they charge, the train was 0.45 hours late and reached the destination at 11:30 PM while it was supposed to reach at 10:30 pm. There is no value of time given by Indian Railways. It’s Pathetic and disappointing. It's my earnest request to the Ministry of Railway to take care of the train, in anticipation of your kind consideration in this regard,
Thank you.

The train is pretty well maintained , less crowded and the food is also good , but the cutlery they serve in is not clean , the staffs are really nice , and every 30 minutes snacks or fruits or offered , the train gives a vintage vibe , I got a nice seat too so personally i would travel by shatabthi again .
Food quality very very bad.. Why is it not improved since lady 2 decades. The bread and the cold omlete are the menu last 2 decades and quality is very bad. The train fare hv incresed many times, but not the quality of food.
Staff is good, train can be much better. Loy os scope for improvement
YOUR RATING ON
Hi , very poor toilets no one to clean , water just coming outside doors , toilets stink , food is below average , quality has diminished. Please stop serving food , stop shatabdi to chennai , very poorly managed.
The train is in a very poor state not maintained at all. The seat cushions are flat, food is of very bad quality, not smooth at all too many jerks & not worth the fare. Feels like a total compromise.
The last couple of kilometers of most fast & express trains is damn slow and has to cross dirtiest and stinking places to reach the destination. Railway must budget to make track sides beautified for a better experience.
Travelled in mar 12 2023. Paid dynamic pricing Rs 1300 for sbc to Mas. Gave up on food as it was pretty bad. Mosquitoes throughout the coach. Bathroom are pretty stinky and badly maintained. In fact the whole coach was stinking of urine. Requested TTR to kindly attend to it. Sent a complaint sms to 138. But no vail. To top this it arrived 30 minutes late to madras central. This is not the Bangalore Chennai shatabdi that I knew and love to travel. The worst part was due to dynamic pricing I paid double for this stink hole. Hope someone from railways will look at this to correct the situation.
It's the work of pantry staff to give us food. But after completing our meal they come for tips and forcefully they take it by standing infront of our face
I was hearing a lot of praise from all corners regarding improvement in Indian railways and Govt is claiming it to be at par with airtravel. I was curious to experience it and decided to travel through Amritsar Shatabdi to Delhi and it proved to be a bad decision.
The train started and reached on time, that's the only positive thing about the journey, rest was pathetic. Seats were unclean, cleanliness of pantry and toilet was equally bad. Food was terrible - tasteless, and unhygienic that caused upset stomach to all my family members
I was expecting at least I would see some update in toilets, but still that decades old chain system exists.
I went from Pune to Hyderabad in EC class. Service was good but lunch was not good. Chapatis are made of wheat and maida which are hard to tear. Rice was not cooked. Train started at right time but reached almost 50 mins late.
While coming to Pune, we travelled in CC class. It has become pathetic. Very dirty boggies, dirty toilets and unhygienic. Again dinner was same with uncooked rice and chapatis.
I recommend to give variety of sabji. I have travelled many times by this train and all the time, same lunch and dinner with the same taste. We are getting bored with this kind of food.
Service is given as per EC or CC class.
Need to improve.
Shatabdi has lost its charm it used to have earlier. It's mostly late. I went to panipat. It was more than 1 hour late. I received someone at Delhi and again Shatabdi was more than a hour late. What's the point of spending so much money when it's never on time and specially morning time when people have to rush somewhere.
Toilets dirty, people serving food harsh. Playing instrumental bhajans and music early morning for 2 hours causing annoyance to the public.
Kind of cutlery and products are of poor quality. Paper mugs meant for water bottle being used to serve tea. No cups for water.
The food given in train was very less as compared to the prices taken and food provider in train was very rude and arrogant while giving service.
If you are travelling just think it is a superfast train and you will reach on or before time. That's good part.
On food would say it's pathetic. Hot water dipp tea bag. Break fast or dinner better to carry from home.
Coach quality average toile not very clean
Sometimes the seat table is broken sometime washroom has no cleaning with no good food And the workers ask for too much tips if you oder something apart from the menu with even making the price of the item product high
Train is on time...Speed is too good.But the toilets r too dirty.quality of food is not good.otherwise it's good .
I would like to say previously it was good but today dated 27th April, 2022 I was traveling from Mumbai to Ahmedabad.... Worst breakfast..... No soup ... I asked for breadomlet said no ... As veg opted ... Did not adjust not asked option for veg breakfast... As they have upma also just waiters are doing their work to be finished ..... No soup .... Facilities now said waiter .... Food ... Now they give only 2 chapattis previously were 4 .... They took 2500/- for two tickets ... Why can't they give good food and breakfast.... Not satisfied this time ... And then they will for tip ... With sauf... Tray.... For what they should get .... Aren't they paid salary... Not justifying salary .. really not happy with services ...
I have travelled a lot in Amritsar Shatabdi Express but was disappointed today as did not feel standard as no pantry and vendors selling drinks and snacks as they do in ordinary train. Food and snacks must be included in fare as ticket price is also increased.standard should be maintained.
Bad experience.They are looting the pockets of the travellers. They are charging high amount and are not providing even water bottle in the service. In the name of covid, they are taking advantages only. The cost of the tea is 20 bucks and the taste is pathetic. I dont think , I would like to travel in this train. Such a bad experience.
