Train travel in India is fun but has changed a bit during past years. Back in the early 90's there were loads of hawkers at all the stations and on the trains selling food, drinks and what not. Now the sales people need licenses and it was not so easy to get stuff to eat...
Trains stop at stations and there are kiosks, but you never know how long the stop lasts.. so you better take care not to miss the train whilst queueing for snacks.
Timetables seem to be more reliable now, though.. and you can book tickets online... vs trying to find the foreigners counter at strange railway station in earlier days.
I love train travel in India.
It is very interesting to look at the countryside and smaller towns when travelling. people going about their business: tending to children, animals, laundry, cooking...
