Food For Travelling In Train – Ordered Online, Delivered At Your Seat

Food for travelling in train now comes packed in hygienic packets, neatly wrapped, and hot. Those steel tiffin’s and plastic containers containing home-made food are, no longer, the staple in a typical passenger’s bag.

Today, you can order food through your cell phone…and your cell need not be the latest smart phone in town. You could possess a simple handset, yet order food and enjoy a delicious meal in a moving train.

All this has happened thanks to the gutsy initiative of the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to begin e-catering service at major stations of India. Initially, they began with 45 stations. The response was encouraging. Today, e-catering network has spread across India in all directions and there are hundreds of stations that offer e-catering facility to passengers.

One of the stations is Solapur

Solapur is a pretty city in Maharashtra. Solapur Junction is a major station that lies on one of the chief rail routes between Mumbai and Hyderabad. Food delivery intrain at Solapur Junction is commendable. You can order from vendors like Rai Darbar, Mera Food Choice, Dominos, and more.

Options are plenty. From scrumptious pizzas to biryanis and burgers, the food quality is awesome. You can avail yourselves Jain food, Maharashtrian thali, and other meals.

Food brands are joining hands

Reputable food brands have shown interest in delivering food to passengers at their train seats. This has contributed to the astounding success of IRCTC’s initiative. Now, passengers need not depend on local food stalls on stations or pantry cars of trains. They can avail themselves food services from their favorite food brands. So, if you are a fan of Dominos and love their crusty pizzas, you can enjoy one right at your train seat!

Multi cuisine platters are also a reality in moving trains today. Kids can have their own choice meals; senior citizens can order special meals that cater to their tastes; each passenger can order meal as per their taste and mood. You, no longer, must eat what the pantry car offers.

Choices in payment too

You can pay online at the time of placing the food order or you can pay in cash at the time of food delivery. The choice is yours. Choices make things easier and enjoyable, right? Perhaps that’s why passengers are widely accepting this new form of catering service in trains.

Of course, the typical tiffin containing home-made food is never going to be out of fashion, but this is also a choice now. There are people who had to reluctantly pack food from home. Now, they can freely pack their bags sans tiffin and worry not about getting a decent meal during the journey. This is the beauty of e-catering. No doubt this has made train travel more enjoyable and comfortable.

It is time to get engrossed in passing landscapes, chats with co-passengers, or a good sleep in a moving train. Food for travelling in train will be delivered at your seat. With e-catering you don’t just taste high quality food, but you also get a taste of modern, technology-driven Indian Railways.
