Yes. Some of us do take the train to destinations that cannot be accessed by air and would be too tedious by road. I've always been intrigued by Indian Railways and the 'system'. This time I thought I'd click a few pictures on the station...Ever seen a platform so empty?

What a contrast!!! Pune's premier hotel Le Meridian: 5 star comfort faces the city's Railway Station
Drinking water? God forbid!!
A Locked toilet benefits who you said????
From Maharashtra to Andhra Pradesh, platforms and stations look alike. Seen one, then you've seen them all. The Railways should be lauded for this model of replication across the country!!!

Of course,in Gujarat,there's one difference-the Shauchalaya is called 'Saarvajanik jaajru tatha mutardi'...don't ask me to translate...it's too funny to pronounce,as such!!:)))
I so agree with you Ritu
You've seen one, you've seen it all :)
I wonder how they never got bored of the same design, its not even like all the stations were made at the same point in time!
hiya! there is still no railway connectivity in my state. so, I cannot even crib about bad water or bad facility.
I love train journeys if it is in a group.

Hi Arunima... Isn't that pathetic??? The furthest I have been in the North East is Meghalaya and Kohima & Dimapur (in Nagaland). Was bowled over by the stark beauty of the place...and of course by the lack of what we would perceive as basic amenities... But then that was 10 years ago and I am sad to know that things havent changed much since then...
