New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
Quote:
The redoubtable Lalu Prasad has been the best thing to have happened to Indian Railways.
The processes and systems that the Railways Minister has put in place have seen the loss-making Railways turn around and post impressive profits. And he has managed to fill the empty coffers of the Indian Railways without even raising passenger fares!
Now he has more plans. Riding on the stupendous success of Palace on Wheels, one of the top 10 luxury trains of the world, the railway ministry in close coordination with Rajasthan will be launching a second super luxury train in December.
without the below stuff train will not start
Aptly named as Royal Rajasthan on Wheels, the tourist train will be operated jointly by the Railways and the Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC). So check out what this moving palace offers. . . MORE

Re: New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
Is smoking & taking liquor is allowed in train. i don't think so. Why they are serving only in luxury trains. why not in other trains.

Re: New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
25 lakhs per trip is absurd...!! I feel 25 lakhs is probably the amount that railways will be spending per trip for this train..! New luxury train to cost (Indian Railways) Rs 25 lakh per trip..!

Re: New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
25 lakhs per trip is also too high for the NRI's and the super rich. I think this is the cost the Indian Railways will incur per trip. Actual per ticket price for passengers will be very much less. What is the cost per passenger for a ride in "Palace on Wheels"?

Re: New luxury train to cost Rs 25 lakh per trip!
Indian Railways FTW!
On a serious note, I think it is a good idea to get so much money from the rich NRIs and foreigners and subsidize train fare for the average Indian. Cheerios!
