Hey Neil, thanx for the info. But the Deccan Oddessey did have 2 runs; the 1st being politicians and bollywood and sporting fraternity greats, and the 2nd run had a few tourists. However, it still left a lot to be desired.

Vabby, in fact I counted the total no of passengers and it was a dissapointing 217. However, they were given a royal carpeted welcome supported by music and flowers. That was indeed a sight to watch !

Kharad, the Deccan Odyssey remains a dream....the Maharashtra Tourism folks seem to have committed a major blunder of developing this tourist train without performing in-depth market surveys for guaging the demand for such a service among tourists.....& they did not just stop there...they priced it ridiculously high. Needless to say, there were very few takers for this train. Look for drastic reductions to the ticket prices in the near future, if the train is to take off on its inaugural run.
