Train Announcements Recorded on a Trip from New Delhi to Agra, We Went to Agra to See the Taj Mahal (again) Of Course!
I had recorded ‘mind the gap’ on Delhi Metro a few weeks ago and I shared it on India Mike. steven_ber (resident Indian railway expert on Indiamike) suggested me to record the various train announcements on an Indian railway platform! So, here I am, sharing the recordings, wait till the end for ‘asuvidha ke liye khed hai‘ (the inconvenience caused is deeply regretted). Enjoy.
During 1997-1999, I used to live in a hostel that was in the vicinity of a railway station. In the night, I could clearly hear the announcements, even in my room, though it wasn’t possible during the day due to the noise of vehicular traffic, etc.
Sidhu there was a time when Sesha and I were weekend commuters and these train announcements were a weekly feature of our lives, a part we really don’t miss.
