| A set of images from my visit to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (Mumbai) to see the first commercial service of the 2201 LTT-Kochuveli Garib Rath Express. |
A view of Central Railway's Glorified "Goods Shed" a.k.a. Lokmanya Tilak Terminus - This is a "major" station handling about 30-40% of Central Railway's trains originating in Mumbai! 1024x768 2008-02-04 15:24:25 Buy Print |
The decorations being made! The Banner reads "With regards... Mathrubhumi... The power of a real newspaper" 1024x768 2008-02-04 15:32:14 Buy Print |
The name plate on the Garib Rath. BTW, When did the India gate shift to Mumbai? 1024x768 2008-02-04 15:54:21 Buy Print |

Oh! The lower berth too is not fun anymore! 1024x768 2008-02-04 15:59:29 Buy Print |
The Coupe! Each 3A coach in the Garib Rath has a 3-Seater "cabin" at one end of the coach. The cabin appears suffocating! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:02:38 Buy Print |
Wow! The Upper berth just got bigger! Now you can sit upright on the Upper berth in 3A! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:03:40 Buy Print |
The new upholstery design. Looks really awesome! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:04:04 Buy Print |
A demonstration of how it feels to be on the Side upper berth! The condition is some what the same of what it used to be for Upper berths! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:04:20 Buy Print |
The corridor showing Side Middle berths... 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:05:03 Buy Print |
Another CC coach! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:15:12 Buy Print |
The leg room appears to be "comfortable" - but it really isn't! CC is surely not for long distance passengers! 768x1024 2008-02-04 16:15:44 Buy Print |
The seat is too narrow! 1024x768 2008-02-04 16:15:59 Buy Print |
