A very user-friendly guide to India's railroads

As a long-standing fan of the Indian rail system, I find this book a guide which will be very useful for any foreign tourist who plans to travel by train in India. Packed with many useful tips, especially about the numerous regulations which one needs to know about. However, the writer errs somewhat in describing rail officials as being universally friendly and helpful; I am sure that most frequent travellers (Indian or foreign) might not agree with this. Strongly recommended to anyone interested in India's railroads.

If you're into trains this is a great book

It's been very useful in planning our trip, gives you types of service available, how long it takes from A - B and how to cope once you get there. We are purchasing tickets through a guy in Wembley, UK, that they recommended and it's all been true so far It's nice to get some specific advise, especially when you're trying to work out a route and timetable.
