Like the Maruti 800 made driving accessible to millions, revamped stations are making train travel more comfortable and inclusive for passengers. EPISODE #227
This is a new India with fresh vision being pursued with conviction and determination. India has one of the largest rail networks in the world and easily the highest number of travelers by train. Coupled with this is the innovative strides being made in the indigenous locomotive and railway coach manufacturing within the country. The domestic consumption and added export markets, make the investments in railway stations a very sensible way to address the problem of facilitating the largest population in the world, to commute safely, economically and speedily, through the length and breadth of the country. The wide range of focus of this government, does not cease to amaze me. Excellent share Anil. Always a pleasure to read your articles.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and kind words. Much appreciated.
Couldn't agree with you more. Seamless movement of people and goods is the grease for growing the economy. India has come a long way in the last decade. The speed with which it has electrified railway tracks is staggering. Today it is at 98%. This alone, is a potential carbon credit for the country in the future.
As always an amazing write up. Lasalgaon reminds me of our trip to Shirdi two years ago. We were to take the train from Manmad junction to Mumbai, Manmad being an hours drive from Shirdi. On way we were informed that a bridge had fallen and road was blocked therefore no way we could catch the train from Manmad. I googled the train route and saw Lasalgaon as the next station. Took a diversion, cut across fields and reached a beaten down station 'Lasalgaon' well before the train was to arrive. The station was really in a mess, infact disgusting if l may use the word. What a transformation. PM Modi is doing a great job. God bless him and our country. Thanks again for the article👏👏
Thank you so much for your response, kind words and for the fact check on Lasalgaon station's eminently forgettable history. Your story about how by chance you ended up at the station is amazing. Look forward to your continued participation and support.
