Tejas Express is a luxury chair car, with better features than what you are used to in a Shatabdi. According to a report in CondeNast Traveller, the train will have “electronically-operated doors, plush seats, larger windows, CCTV cameras, Wi-Fi, coffee and tea-vending machines, bio-vacuum toilets, touchless taps, hand-driers.” And better food! Plus, there will be in-train entertainment systems.

Can’t wait to get on this one!
