Fare thee well

Bidding farewell to near and dear ones at the Kurla railway Terminus. This train is going to Mangalore in Karnataka. It will take about 16hrs to traverse the distance through some scenic routes and will also pass through Goa.

Shopping at Kurla Terminus

Travellers doing their last minute shopping at the Kurla Terminus before embarking on long journeys. These shops sell everything that a long distance traveller would need. Bottles of drinking water, cans to fill water, soft drinks, airpillows, chips and even chains that are used to secure your luggage to the seat legs.

Vintage taxis

All these are vintage taxis (indigenised Fiats more than 25yrs old) waiting outside Lokmanya Tilak Railway Terminus at Kurla, to take arriving passengers to various destination in Mumbai. As per the new edict from the Government, most of these taxis will be scrapped as of 04Dec08. This may possibly be the last run for them. The drivers/owners have been promised assistance in getting new models to be operated as taxis in a move to reduce air pollution in the city.
