Soon, you can shop on Shatabdis
CHANDIGARH: From January 2013, passengers will be able to shop on board the Shatabdi.
Tenders for the service will be floated by December 23. "We expect to start this service by January next year. The service could be extended to other trains as well," said Neeraj Sharma, chief public relations officer, Northern Railways. A decision to float tenders was taken on December 5 in a meeting between railway board chairman Vinay Mittal and northern railway general manager V K Gupta.
The Northern Railways has just completed its first 30-day on-board shopping pilot project on four Shatabdi trains — Kalka, Amritsar Swarn, Lucknow Swarn and Bhopal Swarn. Based on the airline duty-free shopping model, the project was initiated on November 5.
