This Forum - all about trains

[O-Admin]

The Indian railway system and the India trains are well known amongst travellers to India and the stories resulting from long distance journeys on the Indian railway system vary from funny, terrifying to the downright bizarre!

And this is what this forum is for, yes it's a great place to ask questions and get answers but really this thread is for sharing those stories that make travelling on Indian trains so very .....er..UNIQUE

Amongst some of the more talked about themes aboard an Indian train are the toilets, the early morning chorus of coughing Indians and the legends and myths (Such as the one posted below which you can totally see happening!)

And then there is the cost!!

The Indian trains are incredibly cheap. How cheap? Coming from England where it cost £1000 to travel 10 Miles down the line it was amazing to realise that I had just booked a 2000 mile journey for less than £10. Admittedly I didn't have a seat and the train was close to bursting point b ut hey - That's what travelling in India is all about ey!?

So please send us questions, send us your pictures but most importantly sned us those experiences and opnions. After all that's what these forums are all about - Opinions!

Thanks
