Recently been fascinated by the Indian rail system and wanted to find out some more perhaps from the perspective of people more used to travel in the UK/Europe.
I really like the energy of it, they've got some trains running at high speeds on tracks that don't particularly seem designed for it! Is passenger comfort fairly good, or can it be a bit bouncy? Is the service reliable, how much does it cost and what's the general frequency/journey times?
It seems like they have got the art of widespread electrification down and many of the trains look fairly clean and modern inside. I'm sure the larger prevalence of loco hauled trains makes things a bit quieter. The large amount of at grade crossings makes them seem to ride the horn a bit, but this is fairly common around the world, especially in North America. Europe is probably the exception for this, rather than the rule!
