Hello friends!!!
My personal experience with Indian Railways has mixed feelings. Personally I feel that Indian Railways has a long way to go to find itself as the leading transportation in India. Agreed it is a cheapest form the travel and a vehicle for common man. But the Railways earn such a lot of income through tourism, etc. then why can’t they maintain the trains properly.
Having recently travelled Northern Railways, I felt as if I am travelling back to when trains were first introduced in India. No proper system is maintained. Having travelled in a reserved compartment, the no. of people that started getting inside at every station was just getting on our nerves, causing lots of inconvenience to those who had secured a reservation. To add to it our Ticket checkers never bothered with such influx. Getting down to our destinations was horrible. We had to cross over people to get near the entrance.
I think the problem is the same everywhere, Or is it worse with NR Railways?? Why are trains schedule to leave for the destinations reach / arrive late?? Is there any hope???
