Anubhuti Class in shatabdi
I recently had an opportunity to
travel in the Anubhuti class in the Chennai – Bangaluru Shatabdi. It was a
wonderful experience. As advertised the coach had aircraft like feeling. Some
of the features of the coach are as follows:
- Air conditioned 2+2 seat configuration
- Cushioned leg rests
- Personalized reading lights
- Attendant calling ‘bell’ button
- USB and mobile charging points in the space between two seats
- A fold-able snack table under the arm rest of the seat
- Modular toilets with features like touch free tap and soap dispenser and hand dryer.
- Toilet occupancy indicators.
- Information display boards
- Braille integrated seat stickers
- Window screens
- Anti-graffiti vinyl wrapping inside the coach
- LCD entertainment screens in the front row seats.
Apart from the above we were
provided with sumptuous food, newspaper and water bottles. The attendants were
very courteous and friendly. The coach was also cleaned two times in the 5 hour
journey.
The fair is reasonable costing
around Rs. 1700/- for a one way ticket. The Indian railways have really put in
a great effort to attract passengers to its trains. Hope the good work
continues.
