Cleanliness is a must in trains or on platforms. It is impossible not to find beggars in trains or on platforms. Could it be because Station Masters or some other person might be getting cuts from beggars? It seems impossible but think about it and look around you, you might think, it is possible otherwise, what is the logic and reason for beggars finding a place in most trains and platforms and no action is taken on them? more  
Timeline should be Improved more  
It could be a laughing suggestion but I feel is required. Keeping toilets clean is next to impossible in India because of our cultural heritage. I would suggest to start pay toilets in train for the passengers who wish to avail a clean toilet facility and charges should not be less than Rs. 10.00 per visit, apart from the regular toilets. How railways going to provide this kind of facility, it is upto them to plan and decide. more  
IN INDIAN RAILWAYS PROVIDE THE DISABLED COMPARTMENT AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAIN IS BETTER.OTHER PASSENGERS CAN NOT ACCUPY. more  
IN INDIA MORE AND MORE RAILWAY STATIONS DO NOT HAVE THE ESCALATORS.OFCOURSE SOME MAJOR RAILWAY STATIONS HAVE BEEN PROVODED THIS FACILITY.ALL THE RAILWAY STATIONS MAY PLEASE BE PROVIDED 1/4 WAY OF CLIMBING STEPS SLANTY WAY.SO THAT STROLLIES WITH HEAVY LUGGAGE CAN BE MOVED FAST TO ANOTHER PLATFORM.IT IS VERY USEFUL TO ALL THE PASSENGERS.
