The Shatabdi Express trains are some of the
fastest in India and are the pride of Indian Railways. Fully air
conditioned and of a far superior standard to most Indian trains,
the Shatabdi Express apparently always arrives
at the best platform a station has!
The average speed on most lines is 68mph (110km/h) although the
service between Agra and Delhi can reach speeds of 80mph (130km/h).
During our journeys on the Shatabdi Express we
travel in air conditioned Chair Class. Complimentary snacks, meals
and beverages are generally provided during the journey.
