I have just returned from
I have just returned from Vijayawada.The experience with Jan shatabdi was horrible.You have beggars & hawkers walking in & out of the trains continously.Our local EMU is much better than Jan shatabdi.The chairs are extremely uncomfortable.The train also ran 1 hour late.It is just not the train to travel for long distance like from Chennai to Vijayawada or if you have elders & kids with you.I even thought of asking somebody if they check all this.
