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?

Me and one of my closest buddy gonna take ride of this on 17/7/12, right from Shimla to Kalka..
It's the first time for us, we've reserved 2 seats in first class . It cost too huge the the general, Rs. 200 per seat.

I just wanna ask, does this money given worth ? :)

but for enjoying the ride, 2nd class is better
Not so worth.
Why so??
yes it is worth the money you pay. you will enjoy the ride.
Not that good a train compared to others on the route..best are the Shivalik Deluxe and the Rail Motor..!!
Try going from Kalka to Shimla in Shivalik and not while coming back..!!

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 checked out in motor n shivalik...dey're full..:/
Try going from Kalka to Shimla..and take the Shivalik Deluxe express..you will easily get tickets in 2nd Week of July..!!
leave..deluxe ain't suite our tym..we hav to go far away from kalka in time..:/
does this train wait for kalka Delhi mail to arrive before leaving
No..it doesn't..!!
no...it does not...only shivalik deluxe waits for hwh dli klk mail...no other train has any official connection...
is is available for bulk booking??.
we are 135 from kerala.
planning to visit shimla february first wk...
how many seats are totally available???
Hope an early reply...
with regards.......

please contact chief reservation superintendent of respected zone for group booking. he will do it.
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.
I cannt wait because I have time for 1st week of dec only I will be busy at the end of december.

i was telling abt express/passenger train
EMU/MEMU/DMU is not included what i ve said
EMU/MEMU/DMU is not included what i ve said
aaj tak mujhe EMU MEMU me difference samajh me nahi aaya
Count me in! I need to start from the stratch! :(
2 Basic Difference b/w EMU & MEMU:-
1. MEMU has vestibules providing interconnectivity.
2. MEMU has footsteps which are missing in EMU's.
1. MEMU has vestibules providing interconnectivity.
2. MEMU has footsteps which are missing in EMU's.
any technical diff.
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.

Ph:+919791796513This is because those trains will end their journey at least in 2 hours. So they dont need toilets.

Really!!!. Does an EMU train have toilets?
Sir, MAS-NLR MEMU takes around 5 hrs to reach its destination.....but dont have toilets.
VSKP-CCT MEMU takes 4.15 mins...dont have any toilets :(
Kindly look at this /train/4523
A Journey of more than 4 hours !
A Journey of more than 4 hours !
Another one /train/4534
Its an EMU.
Its an EMU.
In this case we can file against the IR.....As per the supreme court order every train which takes more than 3 or 4hrs to its destination must have toilets :)
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.

MEMU's also don't have toilets.
Probably the most time consuming MEMU in India with running time of more than 6 Hours../train/3722
Actually its a MEMU train & not an EMU. Admins are requested to make the necessary correction in its name.
If we have a judgement like that...we can file case against IR.
I know that sir, but i am pointing out the trains i know which run more than 4 hrs.
Yes bro, it's there. I saw the news in IRFCA :)
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...
