I travelled on shatabdi Jan 2010 from Delhi to Amritsar (My first travel on Indian trains) I was pleased with the staff trying to please passengers and the amount of food is served in short journey time of about 5.5 hours. Its like none stop feeding frenzy but no where to empty your self (the state of toilets, If you go to toilets every thing goes up instead of down and out) could not park my back side as there was no toilet seat or toilet tissues.
Whats the toilets like on Rajdhani.

Tara, the train runs from Trivendrum on Tue,Thu and Fri. To book a ticket, your date of journey should be one of these days. The train number will be 2431 and class will be any one of 1st AC, 2nd AC or 3rd AC.
Happy Journey!!

@ Mani, I think the Trivandrum airport is about 30 minutes from the city and Cochin Airport is another 45 minutes. Combining that with the total travel time, I think train is indeed a better option!

Laloo is busy turning the balance sheets of the Railways by simply overloading the freight carriages and heard that there is a side middle berth being introduced in phases!!!

Yea, I think without all that blue color tones and dying soon stuff, railways will look so not-indian!

Flight will cost you arnd 3.5 and 1.30 hours time (no guarantee, plus or minus 1 hr )

If you want to save time flight is a better option, if there are no delays that is.

Interestingly, have you noticed that the curtains etc are in “dying soon” condition? With the kind of revenue they are making, I see no reason not to mend them and keep them in good condition.

But that will not make you feel you are on Indial Railways may be

Good post.

> Try the flight now to reach the same place
Good point – I never thought of it like that.
