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.
