First Run, Mixed Reviews: Modern Amenities Wow Most, Bit Of Back-Breaking For A Few
Nagpur: The first Pune–Nagpur Vande Bharat Express arrived in the city on Monday evening, 16 minutes behind schedule, but the excitement among passengers remained palpable. While most travellers praised the train's modern features and service, some also voiced concerns about the discomfort of a 12-hour sitting journey, citing back pain and stiffness as key issues. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The inaugural run saw a sizeable number of passengers disembarking at Nagpur. Speaking to TOI, several travellers shared their experiences — a blend of pride, appreciation, and constructive criticism. Dr Ajay Bakshi (59) described the ride as "smooth and modern," noting that odour-free bogies and reduced vibrations made the journey a pleasant experience. "However, for senior travellers like me, long hours of sitting lead to back stiffness. I'll opt for a normal train next time," he said. Rating the food 7/10, he suggested improvements in presentation while appreciating the overall world-class offering. Swati Mahankal, a homemaker, said the seats were "a bit uncomfortable" for such a long trip but praised the food. "Reaching Pune from Nagpur in about 12 hours is amazing, it makes travel much easier," she added. For Pinky Sharma (21), a student, the journey was more about the experience than the destination. "The seats were comfortable, the interiors modern, and the service quick," she said, adding that the 16-minute delay was a minor disappointment compared to the thrill of travelling in such a modern train. Manisha Deshmukh (47), who works in a finance company, echoed the comfort concerns. "For longer trips, proper lumbar support is essential, especially for middle-aged and older passengers. Still, the cleanliness, air-conditioning, and polite staff made the journey pleasant," she said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Many passengers also pointed out that the fares are much higher than other sleeper trains, making it a bit expensive to travel. Onboard operations were managed by Train Manager Pravin Mankar, who called the run a "proud moment." Passengers were welcomed with tea and snacks, followed by a vegetarian meal for lunch. "The Vande Bharat is not just about speed but delivering a premium experience," he said. According to Mankar, passenger feedback during halts was overwhelmingly positive.
