Good news for those who has a plan to escape from the mundane life and spend few days in the hills. Tourist can soon travel up the hills in air-conditioned coaches of toy trains, only she/he wants to shell out a good amount of money.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway has already introduced two air-conditioned coaches to serve the tourists April onwards. A trial run of that a/c tourist toy train was conducted on the New Jalpaiguri-Darjeeling route earlier this week. The AC coaches would be introduced in the New Jalpaiguri-Darjeeling route.
The fare for a passenger on the NJP - Darjeeling route is expected to be around Rs 2,000. It is expected that the toy train which is one of the major attractions for tourists visiting Darjeeling will have something extra to give to its audience. “Once the railways introduce AC coaches, more visitors would come up for the ride, particularly during summers” said a tour operator in Siliguri.
