Eeeewww!!!
You should've waited for a few minutes for the Loco to be changed..... You were soo exited and impatient that you took a pic with the old rusty shunter wds!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Man, you should really visit Indian Himalyas... go on a roadtrip to Himalyas! Himachal/uttrakhand is once in a lifetime experience
Since you are wondering about the cup in the toilet. Here's the reason:
Earlier (15-20 yrs back) the bum guns were not common in India so they used the mugs to pour water and wash the bum. Probably they have just continued keeping the mug even after getting the spray/bum gun. Also there might be few people who may not know to operate the bum gun and are adjusted to the mug thing so they have just kept it
BTW the mug in the toilet is for us (Indians) because we aren't familiar with tissue paper so it is used to pour water. Personally I would recommend to not touch it due to hygiene issue. And Welcome to India.

How times changes . I still remember in my childhood . My Mother taking tiffin box and water bottle for two days of train journey. And today in second and even in third class you will get lunch and dinner very easily. Thanks IRCTC for upgrading my INDIA BHARAT ❤
Puri Aloo dum and karela ( Punjabi)
@@subrotomitra 😋 yes . Maa ke hath ka swad missing aai.
I do not know how old you are or how much you have traveled. In the six decades of my life so far, traveling in Indian trains, I actually feel the services (including the food) has gone down in quality within trains, including the Rajdhani. Food used to be served earlier also - only difference - they used to be cooked in the pantry car within the train. What has changed now is that you can also order food from many other standard outlets / restaurants, that may be delivered right to your seat while you are traveling. I do not like the enormous amount of plastic waste that also gets generated - earlier there was far less plastic / disposable items. I personally feel IRCTC has a lot to improve to meet international standards of service (look at how the lady found used pillows being recycled and given to them - with someone else's hair sticking - and all this in the supposedly most prestigious train and the most expensive class - First class AC).
@@dip-treeyou must have travelled from 1st class to slipper over time 😂😂
@@dip-tree Pls keep cribbing.
You asks "what cups are for?"
We Idians ask "what those papers are for?" 😂😂😂😂
Lol 😆
😂😂
Same here bro ...😂😂
Ohh lol
😂😂😂epic
Dont underestimate the 2nd class experience 😃 You will get to talk to locals and by the time you leave they will be family
That is a good point! Seems like a great way to meet people 😊
@@twobetweenin india ,some ppl can even make relationships with each other in those 2nd class berths or Coaches.😅
@@twobetween You will have a great time to spend by
True.
Absolutely!!!
Incidentally, Howrah Railway station is the largest and busiest station of India. It has a total of 23 platforms. 😊
I think it's Asia's busiest
and Sealdah station is the 2nd largest
@@shantanudhole2587 CSMT has 18 platforms. Stop spreading misinformation just because of your bias and prejudice. 🙏 However, any day CSMT is architecturally the most beautiful railway station in India and one of the most beautiful even worldwide.
@@AEnglishtutor-vo7qx yes, it is. 🙏
@@shantanudhole2587now Howrah has 27 platforms and more under construction. It's also one of the oldest Stations in India and it's beautiful.
This is Indias Largest Railway Terminal & Comes in top 10 in the world. Its the 2nd Busiest Railway Station in India after CST, Mumbai. This is just info for all. ❤😊
Busiest "Railway stations" in India are Howrah Junction, NDLS comes 2nd, CST comes 3rd and 4th one is Kanpur Central (CNB)
Yeah it's railways. in which you have to sit besides of toilet in case you are poor , you have to sleep on the path which is built for passage, you have to cram with people with different types of skin disease and foul odour.
I hate Indian Railways don't glorify this shit

Hello I'm Om Srivastava a Train Lover from India I must say it was a fantastic experience travelling in AC 1St class and you have travelled in India's first Rajdhani express having serivce of more than 50 years...Cheers keep traveling and exploring
Wow, Welcome to India!🇮🇳
Thank you!!
Longest rail journey video by a foreigner...fantastic! (Not video length, the travel length and time)
Thank you for being this adventurous!!
This was so good to watch. I have been a regular on the AC first class since my student days and each trip was something we looked forward too. You both brought memories back and I miss this so much. Train journeys in India is a full package of Fun, surprise, stress, laugh, and learning.
The best part of train journey in india is the morning view of the countryside and the food
Thanks. well made documentary. Cannot wait for the next one. You two are a lovely, sweet couple. Good luck with your journey's.
Thanks for the lovely video. I am happy you enjoyed your trip.
I wish you better travels in future.
That's I prefer rajdhani 1st AC most, because the food & service in 1st class vs 2nd class changes drastically.
Welcome to INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
How wonderful it is to see such love and positivity coming from both of you. There's a myth in western countries about India not being a safe country, but you guys dispel that myth. You drew me to hit the subscribe button with your love.
Atithi Devo Bhava (Guest is God) | Namaste🙏
Thank you so much for joining us and for your kind words! India was such a joy to visit - we never felt unsafe in our time there and hope to explore more again someday soon. Namaste 🙏
Thank you @@twobetween
good to watch foreigners travelling in Indian Railways. great
Rajdhani express looks really cool
17:28 this is pure Indian thing😂... I think you are well adapted our some habits ❤
Children all over the world do it.
under water metro also started in howrah . welcome to india🙏🌹
First time I watched your video and honestly I like it. Thanks for exploring our country. I hope you got good memories from here. Each and everytime you're welcome.🇮🇳.
Welcome to our city Kolkata, city of joy culturel capital of India 🇮🇳
Excellent video coverage. Beautiful ambience. Nice presentation with these beautiful description. Nice accomodation. Nice naration. Best of luck.
Sarah and Seun you guys are so nice and Welcome to India. Hope you guys are enjoying your trip!
Travelling in Indian trains is like sitting with families and friends and having a chat
Welcome to Kolkata in India 🇮🇳
Thank you 🙏😊 love from India 🇮🇳🤗
Welcome to India 🇮🇳 and thanks for the lovely video l am happy journey ❤❤
Indian food is fresh and addiktive.....nice to see u eating with hands and always use right hand for eating
Foreigners always missed out some key features of Rajdhani 1st class
Attendance will make bed for you on request
You will get special food like chicken chilly or paneer chilly on request
There is a shower on every Rajdhani 1st class coach
You will change your bed sheet or pillow on request
In breakfast there is two to three options if you want both you will get on request
Best background Indian music in a foreigner's travel vlog, not the typical cringe music but so soothing and truly represents Indian feeling
This is a very nice video...Enjoyed watching it
Awsome train journey volog
Thank you :)
Welcome to India❤❤❤
Welcome to New Delhi, India!!
You should try trains like Vande Bharat express, Tejas express etc. These are some of the best trains of India.
We really enjoyed Rajadhani so will have to try those next time! Thank you
There r no Vande Bharat between Kolkata and Delhi
rajdhani also best
Still Rajdhani is the best service.
Sarah is soo cute nd innocent.
What a innocent way she said "I don't know what's the use of cup 😊" in bathroom. Love and respect ❤
Definitely worth the upgrade for that long hour trip
For sure! We were glad we booked first class this time
@@twobetween yeah u should be glad or else u know 😁😂
Love and respect from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Great video. Love from India.
This is the best old style Indian railways.
My advice would be.. Tell the Attendant about the Problems you have faced, like the Mosquitoes.. And One more thing, Try to have Enough Water while travelling.. Properly lock the washroom, there is the main lock there which you were unable to find out.. Try to use that before using the toilet. There should be a Shower room if you are travelling In First class.
We have shower rooms in India??
@@tushar4evr776he is talking about the first class AC compartment. Yes there are showers, but these are best avoided…
Appreciate your work and all the best for your future. From India
thanks for exploring our train the rajdhani express
Table means food coming soon 😜😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I Lough too much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The smell was coming from the brakes 😂 In Indian Railways when ever the brakes are applied you will get that smell ,it feels as something is burning
Thanks for watching. You might be right! We were worried at first but it wasn’t a problem 😂
It could also be the smell from a sugar factory / paper factory enroute
Yes in LHB coaches disc brakes are used so they smell like burning
My india is great 🇮🇳👍👌Beautiful
Amazing journey of jai hind jai bharat
It's really very nice vlog 👍👍 ❤❤ and kept up guys. Thanks for visiting in our country(india). Visit again.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved our visit and hopefully get the chance to visit again someday ❤️
@@twobetween thank you.
Ticket fare for first class and AC class in Rajdhani, Duranto trains generally is inclusive of food cost.
We Indians, especially in south, end the lunch or dinner with Dahi (curd) or Yogurt. Sometimes, people like me who always on the move (official travels) prefer curd rice for a healthy diet.
As a bengali, I think the South Indian diet is probably the most original and healthy diet around India.
And we also take Dahi after the meal.
You guys had a very good experience of life
God blesd you guys
Thanks you coming you india and enjoy Indian place I hope You liked India better and its culture too.
I am from Kolkata, India and a railfan. I Loved your video and presentation... You may love my journey on board the same Rajdhani Express( which you travelled). I travelled on board this train's 50 years birthday celebration journey.
Thank you - Wow, that's so cool you got to ride on the 50th year celebration! That was probably a great experience
@@twobetween yes. It was a great experience in every aspect. You may look for complete journey video of 50 years birthday celebration journey of Howrah Rajdhani express in my channel...
the NL switch/button you showed in the beginning was the switch for the blue light and NL means NIGHT LIGHT 🤣 and in Indian train you can turn off all lights.
😂😂 maybe next time we’ll turn off all the nights at night. But it wasn’t too bad
He he he😂😂😂😂 you me jinga lal la
I thought NL is Nagaland 😂
Wtf😂😂😂😂😂@@user-gl9rs3yn2i
nice to see you enjoying
9:53 "Laddu With tea" I'm dead 💀
The first time the train stopped and he went out to explore thats my home town 😊
Which town?
Nice overview I appreciate,welcome to India
Good journey India
Beautiful people love from India!
Glad to hear you that you visited Kolkata , where I live ,
1. Kolkata is not only ca;lled the city of joy , but also the Cultural capital of India...
2... The credit of Football capital of India also goes to kolkata
3.. There were a time when Kolkata was the capital of India
4... There were a time when Kolkata was the manchester city of India...
5...Kolkata is one of the 4 largest metropolitan cities in India
WE LOVE OUR INDIA
Indian Railways are one of the Best in the World!!
Yeah bro may b u tried many trains in the world,😂
Why such a very uninformed point / statement ?
😂😂😂.. trian may not be best but Rajdhani attander will feed you to death...
Good vlog..welcome to India's First capital city.. ❤❤
Loved❤️🩹 your videos❤❤
NL switch is for NIght Light off or on just for good night dark sleep

Welcome to india❤
Cup is emotion for every indian
Our KOLKATA our pride 🙏🏼💪🏽

@@ROH_RAto valo station se lokera gumacha... Think positive 😂
@@saikat_saha_ 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@saikat_saha_ absolutely.! My friends from Europe, US have exactly this same reactions during their visits to India, when they find people sleeping so peacefully - even on road-sides. It is the 'white-washed ' people amongst us who are always worried about "What will the foreigners" say, while at the same time do not hesitate to throw out trash in public places since it is 'convenient' for them.
Kolkata is vintage city ❤
Nice to see you again in India 🙏
I love your vlog 😊❤ welcome to India 🇮🇳
I've never been in the first class of the Indian Railways. But this video very nicely sums up the experience.
She's so beautiful ❤️🤩
Best Wishes 🍀🙏🎉
Wow I like the private cabin they do tea like the English that's why 😂
Haha yes! We think we can get used to high tea 😂
@@twobetween very high class indeed
Nice representation.
Best Wishes ❤
I've been planning to take this trip on the rajdhani too and stumbled on your experience here which was extremely useful and I love both your passion for travel and all the details all along the way. Great channel! Keep it up! Sending love from Canada your way!
welcome to India💞
"it's better to get the four sleeper than the two sleeper because you'll only fight" LMAOOOOOO the wisdom on uncle was insane
10;45 the cup is for drinking if you become thirsty while using washroom 😂😂😂😂
I just subscribed u both for yr amazing presentation and lovely positive attitude !!
Nice journey
Tejas express is the best train right now, and vande Bharat
Vande Bharat is overrated plastic train 😂😂
@@TheSanthalVloggerit's not. The only reason it looks overrated is it's not sleeper. Let the sleeper version be manufactured of vande bharat train in December. It will be best train.
You are wrong. Rajdhani Express is highest priority getting train till now because it connects state capital to National capital, lots of Govt. officials, documents are carried by this train.
Howrah Rajdhani is my favourite train! ❤
I loved your vlog! Keep making similar type of vlogs! ❤️
Thank you! ❤ ❤
You like this train 😂😂 this is nothing compare to international standards , we need to introduce morr advanced and fast trains
I love to both of you. Plz come back to India.
Welcome to india 🇮🇳
Really loved the video and proud that u guys enjoyed being in India
You must try the Delhi Metro and the brand new Vande Bharat train
Awesome and beautiful couples... God bless you... take care 😊
Thank's for visit in 🇮🇳🇮🇳😘😘💐💐
Welcome my india 🇮🇳
9:51 As an Indian, I would never try that combination 🥴, btw it's not cake pie, its knows as Laddu.
델리 영상 기대합니다. 😁
감사합니다! 곧 편집해서 조만간 올리겠습니다ㅎㅎ
😇😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@twobetweenThere are many more trains in India which are better than this one in terms of facilties available , spacious, pocket friendly, faster and time saving...There is a lot diversity even in railways..From toy trains in Shimla through the Himalayan landscapes to the Fairy Queen, From good trains like Tejas, vande Bharat and to the Luxury trains such as Maharaja Express, Palace on Wheels, Deccan Odyssey etc..
@@atgc2370cry😂
India had been completely destroyed by invaders, and after 1947, bad government which was corrupt. Thousands of scams done by congress. After 2014, when Narendra Modi became PM, that's when the things started to change. BJP is the only non corrupt political party which is slowly developing the country.
Love from Kolkata, India 💫
Thank you for visiting our country.....I am an Indian student in US..
Your video is really beautiful 😊 next time when you come to west Bengal please explore the rural side not Kolkata only.. real beauty of Bengal is villages
Thank you, we would love to next time. We hope to stay longer to explore more if we can 😊
@@twobetween I live in India, west Bengal . I'm a small creator 😊 if you come to west Bengal and need any help to explore the unexplored... I'll be there if you want 😊
