India's Tejas Trains That Elevate Your Travel Experience

Tejas Express, a semi high-speed train is neither slow nor too fast & can do upto 140 but averages 60 kmph. Its doors open & shut automatically. In executive coach we were booked for our Thane - Ratnagiri trip, we got seats with a dining table (only seats in the middle of the coach get this). Newspapers & mineral water were served to each passenger. So too morning tea or coffee by smartly dressed waiters who speak English. Seats in executive class were like in business class of airlines with retractable hand rests. They even have calf rests, quite a relief during long journeys. Washrooms were very clean.

Breakfast was good with instant tea served first followed by muffin, cornflakes with hot milk, Idli-Vada sambar & juice. The coach had noisless air conditioning & retractable Venetian blind style curtains. LED reading lights are also provided. WiFi through Google was available on board. One can ride comfortably on Tejas with only speed being a concern as journey to Ratnagiri from Thane takes 4.5 hours. Fare is about 3X of Jana Shatabdi but journey by Tejas is more comfortable.

Nice to read that @giribpai

Can you share some photos of the Unique Interior of this train?

Also, has IRCTC taken over this train now?

Sorry @C_T I don’t have pictures of the interiors. This train is probably already run by IRCTC. As the fares higher and that is the norm with IRCTC run trains.
