But rails just in front of you are still littered with shit. And you won't be able to hear train announcement because it is mixed up in the Ads blasted from the same speakers perpetually. And if you have to contact enquiry, you will have to cross any number of platforms (often crossing the pile of shit mentioned earlier) to the very first platform.... But hey, let us give people WiFi so that they don't notice the shit they are surrounded with...

most of the inquiry can be done online. so you can use your wifi and avoid going to platform 1.

  What about platform no of a train or coach position? Platform no will often be available only 15 minutes before arrival. And I don't think coach position can be queried online either...

    Once you are on the right platform, look up. There are boards that have numbers like 1, 2, on them, and in small letters, below them, the coach number.

      >There are boards that have numbers like 1, 2, on them, and in small letters, below them, the coach number... But only in very few stations, right? And you should be on the right platform in the first place, which defeats the whole purpose, because you can know the coach position a lot before you can know the platform. ie when the train starts as opposed to just before arriving at a station..

The new railway minister has been working relentlessly on improving the situation, we are already seeing a huge improvement. Trains are being run on time, it is a huge problem that doesn't go away overnight. I am willing to give the current government more time if they can stay the current course they are on. Also, it would be nicer if you keep yourself updated on the latest development on the subject you are going to comment on.

  >The new railway minister has been working relentlessly on improving the situation.. >Trains are being run on time... Really? I our state the rails are not even well maintained and there frequent concerns being raised about the poor maintenance of the rails themselves. And what about the increasing incidents of train accidents and derailments? And trains running on time? I think it has worsened in quite recent times. Things were a little better a while before. Now 30-45 minutes of delay, even in trains starting from near by stations are regular.

  A better way to solve it would be to sell the whole network in pieces and pay the taxpayer back, but no, they'll never do it cause nothing better than wasting taxpayer money.
