One Word: Phenomenal. ER Premium Trains are ❤️
Excellent Food, Mind Blowing Mishti Doi (Purchased 12 of them for Home), Courteous Staff. Coaches are somewhat old still have Impeccable Maintenance.
This train truly is the epitome of REAL DEAL.
The...

kind of train I'd wish LTT Prayagraj Duronto, Shatabdi Trains of Delhi, Vande Bharat Trains could be. Reminded me of the joy I felt when I first traveled in ICF 3A of 12417 Prayagraj Express decades ago
After a Loooong time finally felt like traveling in a Premium Train that too in 2A. I'd definitely go for end to end 1A travel whenever I get time.
Granted Bikaner clearly doesn't deserve this Phenomenal Stuff especially occupancy wise, major boarding from Ratangarh only that too for mostly New Delhi. But Railfanning wise this route is amazing. I could finally open my Tablet after crossing Rewari, before that route is filled with views of Desert.
Good Slack given for crossing with Counterpart and with Prayagraj Bikaner Express.
I took an extra night of Hotel Stay in Bikaner in order to travel in this train next day. The experience was totally worth it.
Enjoyed both Lower Berth for Some time and Side Lower when I got bored 🫡😂

Agree:💯
Absolutely phenomenal. Paisawasool train. My only wish is for the down train to be somehow integrated with the almighty gang of Rajdhanis. The punctuality post NDLS takes a big hit on current schedule. (Also wish for the train to be shifted back to NDLS but that won't happen I guess)

Re# 6085994-2              
Yes, saw that.
Sealdah Bikaner Duronto was heavily delayed when it crossed us before Loharu.
I think there should be multiple options for people at different time periods. Keeping every option concentrated at a particular time slot ultimately defeats the purpose of having multiple options.
Although punctuality should definitely looked upon. If Rajdhani slot is needed so be it but there should be a...

slot for 8PM Premium Trains as well. Many places like Patna, Ranchi, Darbhanga etc can enjoy Premium Trains at that slot.
Other than that Short Termination is really not an option anymore but it's a blessing in disguise for atleast New Delhi.
Had it been extended to Chandigarh or Katra... New Delhi wouldn't get any tickets 😂 #BeingSelfish
