Staff sleeping on the floor - that's a new one for me......although it wouldn't surprise me if it happened on the notorious Trans-Pennine Express here in the UK! Great video!
Dining car waiters used to sleep on tables and floor on American trains when sleeping car porters and service staff were black men. White dining car steward got a room.
@@samtrak1204 So shameful. When I was a kid in the 1960's my Uncle started visiting the US for his work, he loved many aspects.....but was truly appalled at the double standards due to race.
@@samtrak1204 Oh - I was taking aim at TPE (Trans-Pennine Express... or should stand for 'Terrible Passenger Experience'!) as they are one of the worst performing train companies in the UK. They suddenly cancel services and when trains do run passengers are packed in like sardines. They are always short of staff because few people want to work for them.....on my last journey with TPE two staff members said they were soon resigning as they 'couldn't stand it anymore.' Although their routes are relatively short, the company looks after their staff so badly......that I could half expect them to expect staff to take their break on the floor!
Wrong information about AC Hot Buffet Car it do not use any GAS,those those shown at 1:48 are not gas stove but they are electric hot plate. Also shown at 1:53 are not gas tube,they are part of automatic fire fighting system which contain High Pressure Water Mist For Fire Suppression .In case fire it releases a high pressure mist to suppress and extinguish fire.
You also have the option to order foods as per your convenience, which will be made available in the pantry for first class pax. You can make them cook anything, be it continental or South Indian dish or anything else. For example, if you are bored with eating the same paneer and chicken, you could make them cook either noodles or pasta or anything else. They have a chef onboard who will be happy to cater to your needs. Many people don't know this and thus eat same meal again and again.
Do you have to MAKE them cook what you want rather than politely request? If you have to make kitchen staff fix what you want they might spit in your food.
@@samtrak1204 I am not saying that you have to talk to them impolitely or treat them with disrespect. But if you ask them tk make you food of your liking, they will do so because that's their duty. Chefs on such trains are only for a handful of first class passengers.
A well-fed passenger ->>> a satisfied passenger. But you filmed some contrasts that make you doubt it.And not only you, but also us. 😅 The dirty feet of the cook sleeping on the kitchen table, and later the salad sliced on the same table, very appetizing!
Your excellent video takes us behind the scenes showing us interesting stuff rarely seen by viewers like me.. Thank you for showing us something different than the usual toilet check.

@@samtrak1204 luckily Amtrak has moved on a bit since then, except in punctuality. IIRC when I rode the Zephyr a couple of years ago there was a staff sleeping car.
@@kernthorpe864 When I started working at Amtrak in 1985 the crew dormitory car on the "Silver Meteor" and "Silver Star" was one big nasty room with no separate sleeping quarters for women who had to hang sheets for some modicum of privacy.
Thanks for the video. Its so sad to see the staff sleeping on the floor. They work so hard throughout the day, surely the railways can provide some decent sleeping arrangement for them? @indianrailways
@@digvijayrana88 so people you see in this video love to sleep on the floor out of choice because pieces of cardboard is the most comfortable thing on earth?

@@kyshark1 For some reason, they really do like sleeping on the floor. Pantry cars have sufficient and comfortable sleeping arrangements for the staff. I don't know why they do it when they should be sleeping on the berths being provided by IR. The funny thing is that these Pantry cars are fully AC and the sleeping berths in them are of the same quality as those provided to the passengers.
There aren't enough beds for sleeping car staff? Dining car waiters used to sleep on tables and floor on American trains when sleeping car porters and service staff were black men. White dining car steward got a private room.
When catering agency takes extra staff on train then only they have to sleep or rather forced to sleep on the floor else sleeping arrangements are made for all
Looks great, but I think I would starve in India. We go to Georgia every year to visit family, and I am always violently ill there, so I can't imagine what India would be like ...

Indian railways is not privatised. Then more competition leads to better services. But the govt controls railways so its not as good as Indian aviation industry.
I prefer the cleanliness and better atmosphere any day on Deutsche Bahn even if their selection is not as varied as on the Indian train. And for yourself you can take your consistent negative comments pertaining to anything German and stick them............
Love to go for a ride. I would feel so sad seeing staff sleeping on the floor, and eating with hands, respectfully, is just nasty. Otherwise feed me now! I wish I had 2 stomachs to fill.
South Indians prefer to eat by hand as Rice is their staple diet.. it is their culture, so, don't give pity that someone is eating from hand and not using a spoon.
Not at all appreciated.. catering staff sleeping in floor. Ashamed of Raisina Hill and LYUTENS ZONE 😢😢😢😢😢😢. Stopped watching video where basic of humanity is abused
Your videos are always very unique & capture the real essense of train traveling 👌

But UK trains don't run for 20+ hrs whereas here trains run for 3 days continuously.

thats why i didnt eat any salad -> "peel it, boil it, cook it or forget it!"

WoW! When have you been on a train that served french fries? I don't know about you but I'm mighty impressed.
The food looks amazing. The working conditions for the staff, not so much.

Every pantry coach has sleeping arrangements for the staff

I think it's by choice. As you can see 1:12 , sleeping arrangements are there for catering staff.

Avoid Cut fruits, Street food , direct water as you don't have tropical stomach immunity, use mineral water and you will be ok in India ..
Junior Staff treatment has always been inhuman in Indian Railways.
