India has one of the largest network of railways in the world.
It is largely a British legacy. Most Indian
cities are connected by trains and with the completion of the Konkan Railway
Project, Goa is too. Click on for more...
As is with all public services in India, rail travel it
seems is
bursting at the seams due to the rising population. It is heavily subsidized by
the government and is a very popular and economical means of transportation.
With the completion of the 760kms Konkan Railway project that connects Mumbai
to Mangalore , almost all of the coastal areas along the west coast are now
accessible by train. The largest beneficiary has undoubtedly been Goa, but it was
also here that the project met with most opposition, mostly for
environmental reasons. Its large appeal lies in cutting down of travel time from
Mumbai to Goa to under 10 hrs.
Train journeys in the Indian sub-continent can be a harrowing yet
rewarding experience. Because of their popularity, reservations can be very difficult
to obtain and need to be booked months in advance.
