Travellers who opted for non-vegetarian meal were served omlette with rusk, juice, butter and jam. “We know of omlette-bread or pav combination, but have never heard of omlette-toast. How can senior citizens have rusk with omlette,” asked Ramesh Nevalkar, 68, who was travelling to Kudal.

Ramesh Nevalkar was not happy with the service.

Vegetarians were served upma with rusk, a cup cake, tea mix, juice, butter and jam. “The food was disappointing. Upma was tasteless, so we returned it,” said a woman.

Corn flakes was an addition on the menu in the executive class.

The tea and coffee vending machines, too, were nowhere to be seen . “Despite the fares being higher than Rajdhani and Shatabdi, we were just provided breakfast, not lunch,” sajd Mahesh Pavaskar, a journalist from Mumbai, who on a vacation.

The WiFi, too, is limited to single executive coaches.
