Once sleeper Vande Bharat trains start their journey in IR, most probably Rajdhanis will be given the topmost priority. However, that will take some time. As of now, Tejas Rajdhani is the best possible option. Rajdhanis without a unique livery clearly destroys their grace.
By the way, the coach in the pic looks like a bezel-less coach. Am I wrong ?

I agree about all other things like speed will be limited to 130/160kmph only. So LHB too can do 160kmph with WAP5. But about comfort? LHB is less comfortable than VB.

Agree
I agree on the point that Shatabdi feels better than VB.

I have travelled end to end from MAS to MYS in both VB and SHT few times. VB's seat is as bad as Indigo's & the washrooms start smelling an hour into the journey for some weird reason I can't get hold off. Their constant onboard announcements are another reason to give thumbs down. I definitely got annoyed by the repeated advertisements played on loop along with constant voice about upcoming stop even though the train has just left the either

of the terminals. I can't say much about food since I have never opted for food in both.


SHT's in comparison are zen-travelling. No fancy announcements, washrooms remain clean throughout the journey, comfortable seats.

only drawback is LHB couplings tend to jerk more when the train starts or accelerates and that's with most of the LHB trains.

Correct! In my view, the food is also not good. I have experienced it. The pantry food is better than VB food. There are lot of trains offering good pantry food. But VB, no way. Lowest standard food. They just decorate to look good, i.e butter salt pepper sachets and spoons. taste and quality is C grade. Moreover, VB staff agreed that its made in very bad conditions. My VB trip, the train was delayed by 1:10 mins

1. Tejas livery can be made signature livery of all the Rajdhanis.
2. Phase by phase upgradation of rake to Tejas rake.
3. Let the brand of Rajdhani, Duronto remain distinct to that of Vande Bharat.

I think a dining car would be good, and they should make it a vistadome dining car maybe. Also, I think 1st class should have personal toilets/showers and LCD TVs. Maybe they can introduce a 1st AC Premium with these kind of coupes. Even some trains in Pakistan have this. Can be introduced in rajdhanis and some other premium trains.

Already 1AC is more expensive than some of the airline connections between some cities.

Adding all that you mentioned in 1AC would increase the 1AC cost and would be more unaffordable to normal passengers and only users would be politicians and that too for free.

My Rajdhani Express Map.
NOTE: This map includes all of Rajdhanis from india. The Rajdhani Trains that runs with same destinations but in different routes and runs in alternative days has shown as a single Rajdhani Express (Like Howrah Rajdhani, Which Runs between Howrah and New Delhi via Gaya and Via Patna on Alternative Days).

Yes, but Dibrugarh Rajdhani (not Dibrugarh Town Rajdhani) runs between same originating and terminating stations but in two different routes and alternative days. Hence I've shown Dibrugarh Rajdhani as a Single Rajdhani.
