TFS bags catering service in Gatimaan Express

Mumbai based Travel Food Services (TFS) is selected for providing onboard catering service in Gatimaan Express, the first semi-high speed train of the country.

Running from Nizamuddin Railway Station to Agra Cantt, Gatimaan covers a distance of 188 km distance in about 100 minutes.

TFS has been given the job of food and beverage concessionaire for the Gatimaan for six months and further decision will be taken only after this period,” shared a senior IRCTC official.

IRCTC, railways' catering arm, has been given on-board catering responsibility for the Gatimaan Express.

As Gatimaan is charging 25 per cent higher fare than the Shatabdi Express, railways aim to provide better quality food to the passengers matching airline catering service.

“TFS is already involved in catering service in the aviation sector so its expertise will be handy for Gatimaan,” added the official.

For Gatimaan Express, TFS has prepared a new menu with continental and Indian cuisine.

The passengers can relish an extensive menu from chicken sausages, Spanish omelette, date and walnut cake to desi platter including an exciting assortment of health food with whole wheat upma, kanjeevaram idli, and fresh cut fruits.

Quick bites with snacks are also on the offer with aloo kulcha, dosa, chicken roll, swiss roll and other items well suited for a train journey.
