AMA Just filling this up since its a mandatory field.

Once an avid PC user, who purchased a Laptop and got a broadband only to access PC, then took some time off.

I highly doubt if there's someone who would recognize me (probably few who bid for me in PCPL would do) and I'd call it an achievement if I get 10 questions all consolidated here .

PS: I'm a trainspotter from India and a big fan of RCB.

Well here is the first question in just minutes of you posting. What do you like about trains? x

Quite unexpected. Thanks .

What do you like about trains?

Here in India, the railway is not streamlined perfectly. It is headed by a single organization, and there are numerous things that are quite imperfect. It is split into different zones, and every zone has its own specialty, and the fact that all these imperfections and drawbacks of different regions are overcome by simple methods.

I like the way all the gaps are filled to ensure smooth running of a service, with a wonderful success rate.

I used to go on the train to the sea side when I was little. I loved the train. x

Thanks for the first line.

I have some friends who've been on trains in Europe/UK, and their stories were pretty amazing, especially the London Kings Cross station, I wish I could be there some day.

PS: You must take a look at some of my railway clicks on my Flickr. Although I don't usually update my Flickr, I save most of my pics for myself because I'm scared of plagiarism, I put on some occasions.

I googled it, and it looks quite historic and cool.

Have you seen the film Trainspotting? If so, how similar would you say it is to your life?
How do you know that a particular train is going to be in a particular place at particular time?
Do the trains run on time where you live?
Ever been caught by a ticket inspector?

Ever worn platforms?
Ever done something mischievous and tried to cover your tracks?
Is there anything else apart from trains that you are enthusiastic about, or is everything else beneath your station?

Have you seen the film Trainspotting? If so, how similar would you say it is to your life?

Nope. Not a big fan of movies.

How do you know that a particular train is going to be in a particular place at particular time?

Thorough understanding of time table and also by previous observations. And also, to help us locate the exact location of train, we have a website: https://enquiry.indianrail.gov.in/ntes/

Put the train number, station, and the date on which the train arrives or departs the station, you'll find the required data.

Example: You may try 22691 for Secunderabad on 13-01-2017

Do the trains run on time where you live?

Nope. Not really. Delayed by 30 minutes on an average.

Ever been caught by a ticket inspector?

Yup. Printer went out of ink, and I didn't notice the ticket while taking it. I ended up with an empty ticket without any journey details on it.

Have you been happy lately thinking about the good things to come?

Nope. Absolutely not.

Ever worn platforms?

No. I wouldn't do that ever.

Ever done something mischievous and tried to cover your tracks?

Yup. Many times :v

Is there anything else apart from trains that you are enthusiastic about, or is everything else beneath your station?

Cricket, and the love for huge machines (planes, upto some extent )

You're right, it's not worth me stepping down to your platform.
