A special kiosk was set up on Platform 7 for the passengers of the train. Refreshments were provided to passengers, said SCR officials in a release on Tuesday.
Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) will provide end-to-end services for the passengers travelling by the tourist train, which includes all travel facilities (including both rail as well as road transport), accommodation facility, security and catering arrangements, the railway officials added.
