In my three months there I spent a lot of time on the trains...I was hooked from the first trip to Agra - despite the fitful night's sleep because of my lack of foresight! The familiar kerchunk-kerchunk-kerchunk sound of the train along the tracks usually helped me to sleep once I'd gone armed with a blanket! Cyril, It's the only way to do it, nah? The chair class was good fun on the shorter journeys too - if you were one of the lucky ones who managed to find a seat... Hi Tina,
Thanks for your comment: your mother is not the only one! In my three months there I spent a lot of time on the trains…I was hooked from the first trip to Agra – despite the fitful night’s sleep because of my lack of foresight!

Cyril,
It’s the only way to do it, nah? The chair class was good fun on the shorter journeys too – if you were one of the lucky ones who managed to find a seat…

My mother who has been out of India for many decades still talks about her childhood rail journies with a partcular fondness bordering on obsession! Without a doubt, a rail journey in India always reminds me of a slower time gone by.........great time to reflect and recollect. I couldn’t agree more!
