Shatabdi Makeover

The New Delhi-Kathgodam Shatabdi Express has got a swanky makeover and passengers will be provided smooth WiFi access, entertainment options, cleaner toilets (a major concern for most train travellers) and laundry at no extra cost. The menu and the uniform of the staff have also been restyled.

After the swanky and high-speed Tejas Express was successfully put on tracks last month, it's time for Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains to get a major facelift. Enhanced catering, on-board entertainment and improved services are part of the makeover plan for these air-conditioned superfast trains under the Railway Ministry's "Operation Swarn".

Aiming at enhancing the experience of passengers travelling by these premier trains, the Indian Railways has undertaken a complete makeover exercise in 30 trains - 15 Rajdhani and 15 Shatabdi - at an estimated cost of Rs 25 crore.

The Railway Ministry is to launch "Operation Swarn" to improve services in Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express trains.
