A senior NCRTC official said, “Large crowd was seen at Sahibabad and Duhai depot stations and apart from those who came just to experience the journey, many office goers were also among the passengers on the first day. A family comprising several persons had come to Sahibabad station from Kailash Colony in Delhi to travel in the train.
