Friends, finally, after some delay, my podcast with @kunalvijayakar on the History of the Bor Ghat railway line on @IVMPodcasts is live! It has come out well though the editing could have been a little better. I regret if there are any errors in the podcast. I would request you

This pic taken by a passenger in the EC coach of the Howrah-Ranchi Shatabdi is a symbol of how #IndianRailways is changing - a smartly dressed ticket examiner, with a Hand Held Terminal (HTT), which simplifies verification and brings transparency in vacant seat allotment! #change

The CST-Madgoan Vistadome coach service! Next time, ditch the flight and take this coach! Look at the interiors, the seats and the amount of natural light! #IndianRailways #travel

It's equally crazy to believe that when we first ran the Rajdhani in 1969, we were the second country in Asia after Japan to run trains over 100 kmph. 55 years on, China has built over 45,000 high-speed rail lines while we struggle to develop the first HSR line. #Railways #China

It’s crazy to believe China built 48,000 kms of High Speed Railway network in just 17 years? 🤯

The Vande Bharat train on speed trial between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, passing through Valsad station - higher speed but the horn sound is the same and so is the rhythm of the wheels on tracks. We won't miss the sound of our regular express trains! 🙂 #VandeBharat #speedtest

The old man in the left in this picture can be easily mistaken for a great priest but he is Dr. C P. Mathew who was the Head of the Oncology Department at Kottayam Medical College and later principal. On the right is Brahmashree Suryan Subramanian Bhattathiri. Cont'd... 1/5

One of the main reasons for breaking of snack trays or defective snack trays in #VandeBharat and other trains! Even with photographic evidence, whiners would say that I pass on the blame only to passengers! #IndianRailways #Responsibility #passengers
