That is true yes they are avaliable.. As I mentioned Pakistanis can;t fathom the reach of indian ralilways.. At any given time on a busy station at least 20 super fast trains within +/- one hour are scheduled to arrive or depart and each train has around 20 bogey each bogey wityh capacity of 72 sleeper seats and then there are people who come to see off their kith and kin..
If you factor all this you will come to the conclusion that the presence of those many people at a given stations is nothing out of ordinary..
Mr. Hoodboy recently wrote a piece on his India visit and how easy it's to get reservation from anywhere to anywhere and how easy it is to travle in india train.
I am quoting his point btw: he mentioned in pakistan you can't get reservation from anywhere to anywhere from any station .. things might have chnaged since then but he was in awe of indian railway
Thank god the British built all this, otherwise you could never have fathomed it either!
You might have had to get to work on your "behl" gari if not for the British!
