Describe railway platform which you have seen
Answers
I have seen Jhansi railway platform and its description is as follows:
- Last Sunday when I had to travel through train, I had seen Jhansi railway platform. I saw that at the entrance of the platform there was a window which had a long queue of people trying to buy their tickets. As I entered the platform, I saw that the platform was quite crowded.
- I also saw trains departing and arriving, and a lot of hustle and bustle amongst the passengers.
- Some passengers seemed to be very relaxed, I think there was a bit of time for their trains to arrive.
- I also saw food vendors and people selling newspapers and water bottles.
- At last my train arrived and we departed from the platform.
I have travelled quite a lot and have seen many railway platforms, but the busiest one so far has been platform number 1 of the New Delhi railway station. Since New Delhi is a junction, there are lots of trains to and from Delhi; so, the platform witnesses a lot of activity. Other than passengers hurrying to board a train or those who have just deboarded, one can also see a multitude of coolies, assisting them with their luggage. The coolies, dressed in their red uniforms, wearing their licence on their arms, are easy to spot. The vendors too make their presence felt. They loudly sell their items, like tea, snacks, water bottles and are quick at getting into the train bogeys and swiftly stepping out before the train starts moving. There are many stalls on the platform, some selling food, others selling travel items and yet others selling books, newspapers and comics. Some basic facilities are also available on the platform, like toilets, drinking water and waiting rooms. No matter where one is on the platform, one is always able to clearly hear the announcements about train arrivals and departures
