I am sure if he had seen the Pakistan Railways of yesteryears and that of today he would have said “You cannot step into the same train twice”. Well, because that train is no more.
The focus of Railway officials is on getting new locomotives while ignoring the improvement in operations and maintenance of the existing ones
Due to mismanagement people are not able to get their tickets on time. They do not even be inform about the seats available. When people want to get urgent ticket reservations, they don't get the empty place in any train, and even on major holiday’s
