Misleading thumbnail. First Class doesn’t always equate to luxury. There are trains like Maharajas’ Express, and then there are trains like Rajdhani. The former is a luxury train while the latter is just a speedy (for Indian Standards) train that does offer first class cabins. You might want to check out the former before declaring a random train as ‘India’s most luxury train.’
Well done, you got the joke 😋
Rajdhani is a worst train. Staff. Catering. aC leak and sometime smoking passengers in rest room. Dirty linen. Only Bangalore Nizamuddin Rajdhani is upto the mark. Its the effort of Bommai.
Upro a couple of years back, the charging points in Rajdhani is worst. I Phone is unstable while charging and the processor fails.
Couldn't agree more . Trains are dirty , food unpalatable and as for speed nothing crawls faster than 85 kmph .
Rrrrrr444rrr
i traveled for 6 months in India back in the 90s, all by train. Wow how things have changed
Just a bit 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip
wait...a decade bro.
We will be having more better infra under the current govt.
So.your wicked smile will get even wider
Wait for some more yrs
Vande Bharat and ICF coaches will take over entire Indian Railways
@@NonstopEurotrip - hmm, good luck with your sarcasm, if you want more subscribers from India. People can see through hypocrisy you know. You should stay back in your little ghetto in UK doing a blue collared job rather than trying to build a youtube channel.
No need to wait decade, Ask him to visit Adani and Ambani properties to judge the development under current Govt 😂 @@kishoremali5547
A sleeper in the UK same distance, would cost over £350. The equivalent of 35,592 rupees.
I remember when I first looked at uk train prices while at uni. I used the Edinburgh to london route quite frequently for research and it ended up costing an absolute fortune even with a railcard. Never imagined such prices when I lived in India
You can't even go that far 😂
The average annual income in UK is 35.000-40.000 pound, in India it is 383.000 rupees or 3.700 pound.
So paying 350 pounds in UK vs paying 50 pounds in India is almost identical
@@sebastianthurow605 I think that the majority of people in India live on less than £1 a day far below the affluent section of Indian society you refer to.
@@peterstratten3087avg salary in India is around 12-13 pounds a day so it’s still a cheap service for Indians if you don’t go for the most expensive options.
I traveled this exact same route when I was very young, many years ago. This felt like a nostalgic trip even though so many things have changed. We had opted for 3 AC for that trip and shared our food with another family.
Nowadays I would prefer to pay 3k more and opt for a flight but if I have the time I will try Indian Railways again.
Absolutely 😅
BUT flying is far more ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY than travelling the same distance by rail. Our environment and limiting global warming is becoming much more important than your money.
So much so that some European governments (eg France) have recently BANNED the shorter city-city fllying which you prefer, when hi-speed rail is available.
You need to Update, sir. 😉
@@NonstopEurotrip Absolutely not, I say! 🙄
@@theon9575 true, but do note that european countries have banned only those small distance flights which are possible to travel by high-speed trains within 2hours.
Mumbai Delhi highspeed train (if it existed) would still take more than 7 hours of travel making flights as the fastest way to travel.
that said, overnight journey in a Rajdhani is something one must take atleast once in their lifetime :)
Just another fact ; Tejas Trains( Overnight and Day Trains) and Vande Bharat Trains are the only two train services in Indian Railways, where the doors are automatically closed and cannot be opened while travelling.
I knew that fact lol ✌🏻
Kolkata metro is also a part of Indian Railways which also has automatic door system and soon RRTS will also be in this list.
Hamsafar express also has aromatic door system
I saw a recent video of Agartala Tejas Rajdhani Express where the train departed from Badarpur Junction with the doors still open in some of the coaches 😂😂😂
@@saksham2525all metro systems have automatic doors by default irrespective of who operates them.
The major turn off every foreign vlogger had on our trains is that they've to eat corn flakes/cereals with hot milk 😆 in breakfast. Milk and Cereal is relatively new to India. Kellogg's popularized it but never told that it should be eaten in cold milk. Many Indians including myself still eat it in warm/luke warm milk.
Ha! Although warm milk with cereal is something that used to be more common in Western countries too. My grandmother used to make breakfast with warm milk. 🤔
Well, many people imagine upon eating cereal for the first time that hot tea should be poured on it....Arabs, Europeans
In Italy we have our cereals the same way, with warm/hot milk! I never had them with cold milk and didn't know this was a thing until today 😂
I am from the U.K. and I prefer with hot milk. I don’t even know until now that it isn’t common lol
They were happy enough to get cold milk, I guess they've dealt with enough Europeans now lol
I travelled 3rd Class unreserved in 1973. It was an experience. I soon learned to throw my bag through the window onto the overhead luggage rack. Travelling in the luggage racks was more comfortable than sitting on the crowded seats. Food I purchased from the carts at the stations.
In the late '70s I went back to the sub-continent 1st class - a better way to travel.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Out of curiousity, do you notice a lot of difference now ?
Next time when you come to india please use this luxurious train for much comfortable..
1. Maharajas' Express.
2. Palace On Wheels.
3. The Deccan Odyssey.
4. Golden Chariot.
5. Royal Orient Train.
6.Royal Rajasthan on Wheels.
India Most luxurious is MAHARAJA express. Super expensive tickets 😔
A bit out of my price range 😂
@@NonstopEurotripus bro us. 😅

Maybe I'll ask for a freebee
This is one of the best videos i've seen from Nonstop Eurotrip. Nice footage, great narration, well chosen music. The quality has gotten better and better. It would be nice to see something of the Mumbai suburban trains. I had a one day unlimited ticket about 15 years ago and it was something I still remember today.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it 😁
Just for information, Indian railways fastest train can run with 200 km/h speed but due to tracks and density of trains, they are limited till 130 km/h.
Fact is that government is improving it...
Brother, It is 220 KMPH and yes it is due to some old tracks that are slowly and steadily getting replaced and open sides of the tracks.
@@gauravsharma8052 Well, its not just the tracks, but also the signalling. Thankfully, all the route interlocking systems that relied on electromechanical relays are now being replaced entirely with solid state electronic relays across the entire Indian Railways network. And Kavach TCAS (Train Collision Avoidance System) is being rolled out on trunk routes (2000 km this year and 34,000 km by 2027 are the targets for Kavach 1.0). Meanwhile, Kavach 2.0 is also being worked on. Mind you, even in Europe in countries like Germany also, ETCS Level 1 is not there on all tracks. All this combined with track upgrades AND track de-congestion efforts (freight-passenger train track separation via Dedicated Freight Corridor and doubling, tripling and quadrupling of existing tracks) will ensure that average speeds increase and that trains stick to the schedule with minimal slippage.
Why don't we upgrade with standard guage
@@hemantv1676 Because our entire 125,000 km of railway track is broad gauge, as is our entire rolling stock of hundreds of thousands of wagons and tens of thousands of locomotives. And to replace all this will take two decades of work and cost an ocean of money, time and resources while also causing a massive amount of train delays continuously for the next 20 years. Why 20 years? Because we barely lay 4500-7000 km of new track each year and barely make a few thousand coaches and few hundred locomotives per year. And my assumption of 20 years takes into account an increase in this rate of track laying and rolling stock manufacturing.
And all this done for what benefit? None. Nothing that the standard gauge can do that the broad gauge can't. Not me that is saying this, it is Mr Alok Verma, who is one of the premier Railway Engineers in this country.
Kake thoda thand rakh. Railways is doing all it can to develop faster rail travel in India.
What a joke ! No train in India travels faster than 85kmph . And if it does it would derail .
@9:12 you see the electrical system is 110 V in a country where 220 is the standard domestic line voltage. It's a clever anti-theft deterrent. Light bulbs and other appliances can't be used outside the trains, and not worth it to buy a 220-110 converter.
#FunFact ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
That is an urban myth that 110v was used to deter theft.
The real reason why 110v electric devices are used is coz every train coach back then was self generating. It had a generator which generated power ( connected to wheels for mechanical to electric energy conversion) and two banks of ten 12volt batteries for storage. Those ten batteries of 12 volt means total of 10 * 12 = 120volts
That is why all equipment was 110/120v
.
Now it is all regular 220v basic supply from either from HOG or EOG cars which gets converted as and where needed like fans need diff voltage, LED lights need diff level , AC equipment needs a higher current supply and so on
@@prasannask8320 Makes sense that it was an older system. So now all trains will use 220?
Thanks so much for this, I'd LOVE to do some travel around India. It really is a bargain for us in the west, although I totally appreciate it's very different for the majority of locals. Food looked good as well, great video, thanks again!
Haha thanks Steve! Ironically I got recommended your XC video earlier and had it saved to watch later! You're right, it's a bargain and can be daunting but in the words of yes theory, sometimes you gotta seek discomfort! ✌🏻🇮🇳
@@NonstopEurotripThere are certain 'Tourist Special Vistadome Trains' operated on some of India's most beautiful tracks, basically for tourists. Will you give them a try?
One more thing, if possible, then next time please come to The Northeast.
@@northeastern_steamie I need more channel members first 😉
indian street food are the best.
Welcome back to India!
I hope you had a enjoyable ride on our latest generation Rajdhani express, The Tejas Rajdhani.
And thanks for using the local terms for the food.
BTW it's good to see that they didn't put G20 India sticker on your railway ticket. It's really a relief for my eyes.
Thanks a ton 😊✌🏻
'Latest generation' is a pretty tired wornout joke . There's nothing fast ,latest or impressive about Rajdhani ,Tejas trains . The interiors are old and the trains uniformly crawl at 85 kmph ,not to mention sway terrifyingly . Food is consumed at one's peril and desperation.
I had travelled in Mumbai Central New Delhi Rajdhani Express twice back in 2016-17. That time it wasn't Tejas Rajdhani but just Rajdhani. But still pretty good and one of my favourite journeys.
The glossy clean platform at Mumbia Station is amazing. There is nothing like that in the USA. Most Amtrak platforms are gritty and dirty.
Isn't it just!!
Looks like you Haven't seen railway stations such as Gandhinagad and kamlapati station in Bhopal and there are 500 of them are under construction along side with impressive bullet train and I want to ask what happened to California bullet train is it completed yet9
Some are very clean some are not just like everywhere
@@akr.... true😃
Californiia high speed rail project is dragging along at a snail's pace. Completion won't happen in my lifetime.@@bot_nemetronicus
Next time you come here.....come in the monsoon!!...Take the mumbai goa train (Tejas for quicker ride or the slower Mandovi express famous for its food!!)...the scenery is superb from July to September....& don't forget the Dudhsagar waterfall viewed from train (madgaon to Londa train).....it's majestic.
IN the monsoon, country all round it's just lush green...it's also lean season, so getting confirmed tickets even at eleventh hour is possible in most of the trains
Thanks for the tips 🙂
There are 12 luxurious train in India and u have not travelled them because they are expensive... U have only explored premium train
Most likely this will be replaced by Vande bharat sleeper trains once they start rolling out next year
At 15:52, you said Northern "Masha-ratta", but then it's actually "Maha - rash -tra"! Anyway. keep it up bruh, I like your videos bruh! Keep it up!
My bad 🙈
As a kid I used to travel in this kind of train (older model) from Jammu Tawi (north most train station in India) to Bangalore (South India), it takes almost 3 nights. With breaks in New Delhi. I used to love looking at the landscapes all across India. One of most comfortable train with privacy for families.
Have travelled few times Delhi to Mumbai when i was working in Mumvai. Arrive Monday morning, shower in the train & head straight for office :).
Thank you very much indeed for another nice video.I love these Indian reports.The sceneries,your comments and every thing is is super fine.India is definitly a country worth a visit...
Thanks a ton 😊
I've travelled on the Rajdhani train from mumbai to Delhi in 2019 ... but these trains are now much upgraded and have newly built modern coaches
Maybe not very wheelchair accessible. But what a beautiful colorful staircase at Delhi station.
No there is access to wheel chair he was in different section
Plus whole of Delhi station will be changed in future.....
15:40 It is 8 beds per section in AC 3 tier not 9 beds per section.
Ac 3 tier is the most preferred option by Indian locals as it is quite economical and that's the reason you see most of the coach in a train has most ac 3 tier coaches.
But it's 9 berths per section in Garib Rath Expresses. It's probably the only exception.
@@indianrailwayfanbose Yep, the same 9 berths per section was also tried on some high-end trains such as the Duronto, branded as AC 3-tier Economy (with the trains also having "normal" AC 3-tier with 8 berths per section), but it was unsuccessful, with too many complaints about the side middle berth on a premium train.
Have to say that India does have the best railways but most of which including the suburban lines can get very overcrowded and there has been fatalities many times. But overall India is still incredible country with so many people using train as its better than using other public transport.
Because trains are cheap. Even if you consider the fatalitites, they are still safer than bus travel
@@aishikpanja3931 the thing is, trains are always far safer than a car or a bus... just naturally. it is the age old refined technology that does the safety work in trains, not the driver... which means, it fails less often...
@@SMILYSUNFLOWER maybe not "The Best", but in there own way, they are at the top of the game I think....
@@SMILYSUNFLOWER I d like to see the Swiss manage and operate in the same conditions as Indians have to...
Definitely not the best, but a great system which works for its people. Unlike many others!
Really enjoyed this review , thanks .
My pleasure!
You should've done a Delhi to Dibrugarh Rajdhani journey, it's a long one, but it's a beautiful one from plains to mountains and rain forests and wildlife. And another one from Guwahati(Assam state) to Khongsang(Manipur state) via Silchar(Assam). Probably one of the most scenic train routes in India. Worth going.
Next time, for sure!!
That's a nice video! I have travelled in the same train and same class back in 2019. At that time it had red Rajdhani coaches.. now it has tejas livery
Thanks for watching
There is option of veg or non veg but actually you can get both if you ask. They won't refuse majority of the time if it's available they will provide

I know you have already tried Vande Bharat express but that was the oldest in the series; now i want you to try Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod Vande Bharat express as it is the newest and most advanced train in this series moreover this route offers one of the best scenerys of India
Edit: make sure to do the journey in Saturday or Sunday as it was the most busiest route (Vande Bharat express) in India
I will for sure next time 👍🏻
Yeah you must try trivandrum - kasargod vande bharat express ,which is also having new orange livery. Its more cleaner than other part of the country VB’s. As he said the its scenery is awesome .

Looks like a great trip - thanks for this thorough review! So I’m guessing SuperAlbs has to vacate the cabin when you film the room tour and vice versa? Have you ever considered filming each other on these trips so that you can deliver the room tour on camera? 🤔
That is correct. He doesn'tike being filmed 😅
@@NonstopEurotrip 😂
You should try the vistadome trains in the monsoon a great addition would be Bengaluru to Mangalore
Now the wap 7s which are manufactured in recent years have max power output of 9000hp and can run upto top speeds of 160kmph and and basically manufactured to haul coaches of length 22-24 at speeds of 140 to 150kmph and use HOG technology.
There is no 9000 HP WAP7.
those are wag 9!!
I think you messed up WAP 7 with WAG 9
In 1990 i travelled to kolkatta from chennai in 2 tier a/c mostly same travel hours. In 1995 i travelled with my father from kolkatta to delhi in Rajdhani express first class with sleepers costing more than air tickets, leaving kolkatta at 5.45 evening and reaching delhi at 9.05 next day.

Great video and well presented. Thanks from NZ...

I may be wrong but First-class seats are allocated before the train's departure primarily due to the possibility of unexpected VIPs or government officials travelling. However, passengers can always request a 2-sleeper cabin by contacting the railways.
You can't, we tried
No, one can not request 2 person cabin. Generally railway allocate coupe to couple or someone who booked 2 seats.
@NonstopEurotrip seat allocations are done manually in first AC considering wide array of factors. Politicians, bureaucrats are given high priority and Indian Railways attempt to assign them private coup. Also, there are security issues involved. Railways try their best to avoid accommodating men and women stranger to one another. That's why allocations are announced just 4 hours in advance. The assignment happens until the last 4 hours.
@@MrDebapriyaRoypoliticians should just travel on planes and save everyone from the unnecessary hassle.
The primary reason is considering safety of pasengers and their demography in context for example a single women will not be alloted with other male passengers in a cabin or a coupe. Similarly an old person would most probably be alloted a lower berth according to suitable cabin/coupe according to his gender.@@NonstopEurotrip

90% electrification is impressive, let alone 100%. In Europe, you only find that in Switzerland, and, in a manner of speaking, Monaco.
In the U.K., we have completely stopped electrification lol. I heard India saved some billions of dollars in foreign currency from purchasing oil for railways.
It's certainly impressive!

No tickets on sale yet
WAP7 max speed rating is 205KMPH but IR has restricted the operational speed to 140 to 160 only however with 160 KMPH operational speed, Gatimaan Express hauled by WAP5. So there's a difference in top speed vs operational speed. Look like you took this journey last year of around Jan-Feb.
ICF coaches were hazardous when derailed by overlapping on each other in compare to LHB which goes side ways. Also they are hindrance in the speed increase somehow. Also way too old and shaky as well. Bu one thing is you did your home work well before posting the video. Thanks.
Max speed of WAP7 is 140 km/h only. It was tested up to 155 km/h between TKD and AGC.
But one loco (30750) with reduced weight and modified gear ratio (70:22) was tested upto 180 km/h.
Gatimaan Express and Bhopal Shatabdi are hauled by high-speed WAP5 locomotives only.
But ICFs have self generating power unlike LHB coaches which make a lot of noise tooas they're lighter in weight
Great to see that you liked the journey ~
Thanks! 😃
Great video.
Correction: 1. WAP7 can run upto 180 KMPH. 2. AC3 has 8 seats/coupe not 9.
One thing to note, for context re. why you don't get seat assignments in advance: the seating arrangement for AC First Class is decided manually by humans. As was mentioned in another comment, staff take into account the age and gender of the travelers and their companions to decide the best seating arrangement. On the lower classes, seats are automatically allocated by a computer at the time of booking.
As I said, a stupid system
@@NonstopEurotrip, same white people say, "ohh, we can't sleep with some stranger sleeping next to us".
Had computer done it, you would have end up seperated with your other self (you brought 2 ticket, second seat might have been in Cabin, rather than coupe).
Computer would have allocated berths by 1st come, 1st serve if before your booking all the passengers had filled Lower berth preference. (Because 1AC seats are very limited).
You should be glad that they did it manually that's why you got your second seat in same coupe.
Be thankful.
Don't be ignorant arrogant.
Yours is very st00p... Ignorant comment.
Yep, definitely stupid. I identify as nonbinary and I feel more comfortable not having an all-male or all-female cabin. The humans that assign seats in first class are still bound by outdated notions of the gender binary and heteronormativity, while the computer that decides seat assignments for the lower classes doesn't take any personal data into account unless one explicitly books a special quota.
Nope, the reason is that on first class tickets, there are various reservations (politicians, railway officials) so they can decide on who to travel. Its not really commuter friendly system.
no, because the reast of the world gives you a seating plan you can choose your own bed from, or book the whole compartment to yourself if you want. that's the sensible and common way to do it.
Ah, nice to see you onboard my favourite train. Hope you truly enjoyed it.

This rajdhani express is second rajdhani which traverse through Western railway zone. And this train stops at my home town Bharuch early in the morning. This is best for traveling to Delhi and I have travelled to Delhi to and fro on this train.
Oh nice 😊
My longest train ride with Indian Railways was 36 hours Bangalore - Kolkata (+ 3 hours to get from Mysore to Bangalore beforehand). Of course, I traveled in the one and only Sleeper class, which you haven't even included in your video series (3 Tier Non AC for the champs). Best class there is (unironically). Far better than any boring 300 Km/h ICE 3 neo Berlin-München. Ok, I also traveled non-reserved a few times in India when no other ticket was left, but that's really nothing you want if you have any alternative. 😅 I miss my time in India...

Welcome aboard!
Indian railway has massive network and very good. Best part is it is electrified In another 5 years it should be upgraded from very good to excellent
That's great!
On every 1st AC of IR you are free to indicate a preference for a 2 bunk vs a 4 bunk, at the time of reservation. I believe the railway lingo is cabins and coupes. And you are reasonably assured to get what you asked for, even though they let you know 4 hours prior. Yes it doesnt help that you only come to know exactly what, 4 hours prior. But there is a very good reason for that. Would be glad explain more if you are curious.
Reasonably because the worst case is the two of you might end up in different rooms. Especially if the train has very limited 1st AC and there is rush. But chances are really low on any Rajdhani.
I took this trip last in the thick of the 3rd wave. They were not serving food and linen at the time. But my opinion is there are better Rajdhani 1st AC food experiences in India, and on some of the Duronto as well. This train however is reputed for its running time and efficiency. I quite liked it.
Congrats on the trip.

There are two more trains that are almost equal (slightly better) on the New Delhi to Mumbai route (Train no: 22222/12952). 95% of long-distance trains in India are 22-24 coaches long (LHB - 600-700 meters). Indian Railways provides mobility for a huge number of passengers at the cost of speed and that's what we need right now.
Our government is slowly upgrading our existing infrastructure (which is humongous) and also working on bringing new technologies (HST, Metro rails, Vande Bharat trains (Distributed power - multiple units)).
Small steps towards the development of the nation.
They are getting better and better by the week!
This is not luxurious train in India. This is just a premium train that's it. Luxury trains cost lakhs of rupees like maharaja express
Indeed. Well done. You got the joke.
India is a developed country
modern railway stations 🚅🚅🚅
Nah.. We still have a long way to go.
😂 what bro big joke still developing
Not yet. But we will be soon. The stations are currently undergoing major redevelopments, HSR started construction and we are also planning to replace the current-gen trains with Vande Bharath model trains gradually including sleepper trains.
developing*
Is this a troll?
the Indian railways reservation system is the most human friendly system - it allots based on the Age and gender of the passengers...so you only get confirmed tickets in First AC - if you are travelling alone - you get either a cabin Upper seat or if you are travelling as a couple (Old Age) you get a cabin - both lower berths...this way old people do not have to suffer the ardous task of climing the upper berths...and so please understand the process before passing any negative comments...
Dude I completely understand it. Give people the option to choose their beds from a seating plan and they can select what's right for them. There is no system. No where else in the world does it like this.
@@NonstopEurotripYou just gotta frame your age right accordingly if you want the right seat
But if you select the seat how would you know that you are selecting it rightly and what is the demographic of the other passengers. For example a single girl around your age selected a lower berth in coupe and you happen to select the coupe upper berth but this would be a disaster as the female passenger won't be ready for this arrangement with a stranger male@@NonstopEurotrip
@@NonstopEurotripgo colonise india again.
Given that India is unlikely to go woke anytime soon, this seems like a pretty good way of minimizing the risk of passengers ending up sharing a cabin with others who could pose a potential threat to their safety, especially at night in a locked compartment.
Delhi needs a modern railway terminus. And it absolutely needs to clean up the River Jamuna. Stagnant water is a boon for private hospitals maybe, but it's a terrible curse for the rest of the population.
Agreed!
Tejas rajdhani - most Luxurious train of India
Maharaja express and palace on wheels - general class train of India 😂
Well done you got the joke
Bom dia legal trem da india
That's not the most luxurious train Maharaj's express is the most luxurious train in india and also voted as most leading luxurious train in the world next time please try that train
Well done, you got the joke...
It is a very well described video wherein you stated all the facts pretty accurately. I am so glad that you liked Indian Railways. Hope to watch many more of your videos.
My pleasure 😊
Great video, great train, great food, great value for money too !
Yes indeed!
First Class in Tejas Rajdhani on Mumbai-New Delhi route is the best. So far they cook meals for FC passengers in the attached pantry car & hence you get fresh, hot rotis for dinner. The food attendants even try to get you to eat more (my experience)! Have travelled with 3 guys (they were a group) few years back from Delhi to Mumbai when it was only Rajdhani. They got the pantry to cook chilli chicken to go with the spiritual experience in the private compartment :). The ticket examiner knows it all but look the other way.
LOL. This is NOT India’s most luxurious train.
Congratulations, you got the joke.
Never liked the IR ticketing system 😂
A nice video coverage yes these trains are worth the ticket where you also get hot quality food cooked and served on board , truly in pas 10 years Indian railways are thriving ahead in terms of service and quality, of course money costs but it is still quite reasonable compared to many countries
Yes, you are right 👍
There is nothing better than Rajdhani AC First on Indian Railways network, so really happy to see you enjoyed it!
Yes, true, a fact most people don't seem to grasp is the the Maharajas isn't a normal train 😂
@@NonstopEurotrip Dude he is talking about the Rajdhani Express not the Maharaja's on Wheels.
@@baghupapanray4777he is saying rajdhani is for common traveling where as maharaja express is toutist train. So rajdhani is best in passenger section. But soon we will get venda Bharat sleeper need to see how its going to be.
How do you guys find the worst possible background music for Indian videos? No one listens to such stereotypical music here.
Why worst?
No one? Nothing like overstating.
@@NonstopEurotrip For reference, listen to the music in your recent videos on Uzbekistan and Malaysian railways. And then this stereotypical music. The video itself was excellent though! Keep up the nice work.
@@maxineb9598 Yes, no one. I'm an Indian, so I definitely know better.
I like Indian music
Me too!
Great that you loved this train!
Yes, thanks ✌🏻
Love from india 🇮🇳
6:20 - That's something even I will never understand 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Another fantastic video
Thanks again!
11:21 oh man, that ride quality seems horrendous! India really needs to upgrade its tracks.
I always like watching your videos. Will you try trains in Indonesia later?
I will 👌
