Many of us love snacking on something yummy while travelling by train. In India, many people pack snacks for their train journeys, while others rely on the train pantry or local vendors who come on board certain trains/coaches. But there's also another option - and its convenience is winning over not only Indians, but foreigners too. We're talking about the option of special food orders that can be placed while you're on the train and which will be ready for pick-up at a designated station later on your route. Some services also deliver the parcel to your seat.
