Answers
Answer:
One of the very important modes of transport in India is Train. As a train runs in a railway track, a station is quiet essential for train communication all across a country. A railway station is place where a train stops as a destination/starts to a destination/halts for sometime.
Such a railway station is available in our village. A big railway station was built in our village last year. Since our village does not have enough buses, government provided with the facility of a railway station so that trains to important destinations can stop at our village too.
It is a great thing to watch the various scenes at our railway station. We are so lucky that during our generation we have got this facility. Else, we should have waited a lot of time for buses to our school that is 15 km away from our village. The rail route to our school is shorter and cheaper too.
We have a big platform in our railway station. Everyday my friends and I meet in the morning at the meeting hall. We buy tickets from the counter.
The time that a train arrives our railway station would be the busiest time. Few minutes before Before the arrival of a train, we can see a lot of chaos in the waiting hall and ticket counters. People run along the platforms with the luggage to stand in front of the right coach. Since it is a matter of 2 or 3 minutes, the station seems busy and noisy until the passengers settle down in their seats. Once the train leaves, our railway station becomes a calm place.
