Title: Health & Safety on Indian trains Post by: bemmy on December 10, 2009, 18:04:55 On Indian trains, you're free to hang out of the open doorway while the train is moving, or jump off the platform and cross the main lines instead of using the "foot overbridge".... but a couple of weeks ago I found that Indian Railways are very concerned that A/C Chair Car passengers might injure themselves on the snacktray: ;D

Phew! That's OK then. Everyone's safe as long as you can only ride on the roof of the slower trains...

Just as well the doors open inwards. ;D
