I have not Visited Shimla for last 12-14 Years but when my family used to live there there was a Station called shimla extension which was next and last station from main shimla station. Most people used that as its near to Bus stand and Lift.

is this station discountinued by railway now ?

If Not why this is not in Time tables?

about a couple of years back,the fare for this train in 2s from sml to klk was less than 20rs. Now they have incremented it on account of hill railways. Not to be rude but this is the least priority train in this stretch. Stops at all stations and no catering either.

i don't think it will have so many seats..usually a 2nd Sitting coach in this train has only 30 seats...and it has total 3 such coaches...it also has a First Class...which has approx 16 seats..!!
and above all it is a very slow train..in the month of Feb..it occasionally gets cancelled due to bad weather..even if it runs and u want to go for scenic beauty and all..its of no use bcs its gets dark at around 5:30pm..its better to go to Kalka by road..!!

Nitish, if you are planning to visit shimla in 1st week of December then you should wait a little and visit Shimla in the last week of December. You will enjoy the Christmas fever there as its celebrated there plus you will experience snowfall also. Its the busiest season.

2 Basic Difference b/w EMU & MEMU:-
1. MEMU has vestibules providing interconnectivity.
2. MEMU has footsteps which are missing in EMU's.

Re# 224067-11                  
In EMU's 1 power car is required for 3 coaches so for an EMU 12 coaches in length will have 4 power cars.
Whereas for MEMU's 1 power car is needed for 4 coaches.
So i am guessing MEMU's generates more power (OR they are more powerful) than EMU's. Thats why MEMU's are normally 16-20 coaches long whereas EMU's are generally of 12 coaches only.
A technical member here can provide specific inputs on this.

This is because those trains will end their journey at least in 2 hours. So they dont need toilets.

Re# 224067-20                  
EMU is Electric Multiple Unit which mainly runs in the Suburban sections of major cities.
MEMU is Mainline Electric Multiple Unit which runs on mainline generally for distances more than the suburban sections. But there are some exceptions to this definition as can be seen in the NDLS-MTJ section where 2 EMU's run daily between SSB-MTJ which is beyond the suburban section. Same is the case with NDLS-ALJN EMU. On the other hand MEMU runs on the NDLS-PNP section which is beyond the suburban section limit.

Dear Moderator sir, Admins, members and guest,
while reading this blog, suddenly in my mind came one story which i read somewhere years ago. I am trying to write it here. If it hurt someone plz.....dont mind. it is just for rail fun.... or rail fan......
Once 7 Doctors and 7 Engineers to travels from Pune to Mumbai. Both were very keen to prove their superiority.
Scene – 1. So when starting their journey from Pune doctors purchased 7 tickets whereas engineers purchased only one ticket. When TTE came to check the ticket all engineers hide themselves in toilet of train. TTE checked ticket of the doctors and silently pointed towards Toilet. TTE knock toilet and asked abt ticket. One hand appeared
...
Read more...
from toilet door with ticket. TTE checked the ticket and walked away. So they reached Mumbai. Doctors were frustrated where as Engineers were in joyful mood as they proved their supremacy.
On the way back to their journey coincidentally they again met on the station. This time there was no direct train to Pune. They have to take some Mail / Express Train up to LONAVALA and then local train from LONAVALA to PUNE.
Scene – 2. Doctors got the chance to prove their supremacy. This time they had purchased only one ticket where as Engineers had not even purchased a single ticket. When TTE came, both the group rushed and hides them in toilets of either side. When the door of Doctors toilet knocked one hand appeared with the ticket, person outside took the ticket and went back to the opposite toilet (Actually it was an engineer who knocked the toilet of Doctors). And as usual When TTE knocked the door of the Engineer’s toilet one hand appeared with the ticket, TTE checked the ticket and returned the ticket back to that hand and door closed. Whereas doctors caught as without ticket and paid a penalty.
Now it was final chance for the doctors to prove themselves. They have to travel by a Local train from Lonavala to Pune.
Scene – 3. This time Doctors had not purchased any ticket whereas Engineers had purchased 7 tickets. When TTE came this time Engineers Showed their ticket & Enjoyed their journey and doctors were searching for the toilet to hide.
Moral of the story : Technical sound person always enjoys.
