Shatabdi Exp (12010) Train (Ahmedabad Junction To Mumbai Central)

The Mumbai Central - Ahmedabad Shatabdi is a good option for travel between the two cities. As the train allows boarding at Borivali, suburban residents don\'t need to travel all the way to Mumbai Central to board the train. The train is kept clean and comfortable through the journey and it makes the travel experience pleasant. The announcements on the train though are not regular-on some days the announcements are not made at all (even though recorded). The food served could improve much. For breakfast, cutlets French fries (just two) and green peas (just six) are served along with two slices of bread. The railways would do well by providing a better breakfast. The tea bag served is of poor quality ones and thus puts off the traveller. Lunch is served early which is good as the train reaches Ahmedabad just after 1.00 pm. The lunch thali is kept invariant and is average. The vegetable dishes can be varied to make the meal more interesting. The train covers the distance between the two cities in more than 7 hours which is too long for an express train. There are numerous stops in between, both scheduled and unscheduled and even some after arrival into Ahmedabad. However, this train is a better option than going by road and a cheaper option to flying to Ahmedabad from Mumbai. The catering team is on its toes and takes good care of the passengers.

Shatabdi Tain (12010) boarding from Vapi Sation to Ahmedabad Station was good. Service was offered in Shatabadi Epress train, food is also good, air condition is also powerful, and also train staff service is too good. No outside food is allowed. Toilet was also clean, refreshment items are also available, drinking water and food is excellent.

The train was very well maintained in terms of cleanliness, hygiene, appearance, quality of food, punctuality, service, comfort etc. It seemed like one of the trains in Europe. There is newspaper available and food is included, you could compare it to one of the low budget flights. It is the best way to get to Vapi, Daman or Silvassa as it is fast and punctual.

We have travelled by train to Ahmedabad and from Ahmedabad by package tour to Jamnagar-Dwaraka-Somnath-Porbandar-Sasangir-Junagad-Gandhinagar by car of Ms. Akshara Travels. Each and every place covered are very good. Accommodation arranged by the travel agency is very nice. All the places visited have religious and historical importance. Our overall visit and experience are very nice.
