It has almost impossible to get a railway ticket to anywhere in India during the summer vacation time. Tickets can be booked 120 days earlier. But even if you try to get the reservation on the first day itself, within hours the reservations are over and you get only in the waiting list. It is true that the passengers have increased many fold. Now more and more people go on tours as also visit their kids who may be working in some other place.

The government has to increase the railway tracks, increase the trains and also ensure that the trains run in time. One of the reasons for delay is the lack of sufficient platforms in all major stations causing the incoming trains compelled to wait for their turn.

Will the government and specially the railway Minister listen!
