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.
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. . .
