It is really a serious problem for senior citizens to commute from one platform to another through stairs especially when at last stage announcement is made regarding change of platform . It is a serious problem when cooly flea se them and in spite of old age problems have to walk fast to catch train. Second problem is faced when they have to catch metro. As in central railway stations either rams or escalators should be provided on all platforms . The metro station and airport express stations should be joined with underground passage with luggage carrying belts from all plat forms at New Delhi railway station more

On one hand , government is trying to build smart cities. The government is soliciting FDI in railways. The railway stations in the nation's capital remain at the same level as in 1947, reflecting the confusion of partition periods. Without getting much worried about votes, government should acquire more land and make railway stations become as good as airports. When so much care is planned for airports, why not for railway stations?!?! The locations need a hard re- look. The design needs a relook. PM saw multi- level main railway station in Berlin. As compared any European country, number of passengers are many times more in India. So a. Special solution is required. Can railways re- build many multi- level railway stations like that for Delhi?? A detailed study has to be made on passenger profile, train profile, luggage profile, and decisions have to be taken regarding the number of railway stations required for Delhi. There is a need to build satellite railway stations. For example, in Chennai a number of passengers get down at Tambaram station, to reach the destinations in the city, rather than travel all the way to Egmore station. With metro linkage to Faridabad, can Faridabad be developed as a good satellite station, multi- level and modern?? There should be a number of railway stations , not just two, with good and easy linkage to metro and bus transport. Also, the stations currently are not well maintained. There is no good guidance, good general enquiry counter to give clarifications, no escalators etc. As an immediate step, escalators and moving belt facility can be provided. more
