Useful tips for train travellers

• On your train trip from Rameshwaram to New Delhi, most operators provide catering services, including pantry cars offering vegetarian and non-vegetarian meal options, snacks, and beverages. Look for meal pre-booking options on the train’s website. Indian Railways often has vendors selling food onboard, but pre-ordering through the IRCTC app or website for specific meals like regional cuisine can enhance your experience.

• For this route, multiple operators run services, including Indian Railways and others. In particular, look for the Tamil Nadu Express, which offers various seating options: Sleeper Class (affordable), Third AC (more comfort with air conditioning), Second AC (even more comfort), and First AC (luxury with fewer passengers). You can check availability and book tickets on the official Indian Railways website (irctc.co.in) or through the Cleartrip app for potentially user-friendly options.

• Upon your arrival at New Delhi Railway Station, you can leave your luggage at the station’s cloakroom for a nominal fee (usually INR 20 for a few hours). Use the restrooms available on-site, but be sure to carry your own toiletries. To navigate the station, follow the signs towards the exit or ask railway staff for directions. The fastest way to reach the city center from New Delhi Railway Station is to take the Airport Express Metro Line, which connects to major areas like Connaught Place – it’s typically about a 20-minute ride based on traffic.
