 | TORNADO and Friends - GCR Gala 12/10/08 After a brilliant weekend on the KWVR, which for some reason was sparsely attended, I and my partner visited the GCR Gala, where I dicovered the reason. Having attended the GCR for over thirty years, I have never seen such crowds of people on the trains, platforms, bridges and lineside locations as we saw on Sunday. It proved well nigh impossible to park the car at the usual spots, like Quorn & Woodhouse and Kinchley Lane. It was also very difficult to obtain a decent view of the line - hence some of the shots, directly above the running line. However, it proved to be a very enjoyable day out, with a picnic lunch beside the reservoir. We shall return for a ride later on when the crowds subside. |

 | 13 My Indian Heroes Railways Mininster Laloo Prasad Yadav http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laloo_Prasad_Yadav Imagine this man as a fair, slim upper class man from Kashmir with a Queens cut glass accent and a Firangi 3 peice suit: please please try: would you like him a little bit more? Would you laugh less at his feigned desi accent? You can like him: you can hate him. You can remember his scam: you can see the Crores of Rupees he has made for the Indian Railways. YOU CANNOT IGNORE THIS MAN. Gandhi was wasted in South Africa: Laloo was wasted in Bihar. Both looked like country peasants: what more can I say! Indian Railways & British Rail 5400 million Passengers pa India 900m Passengers per annum Britain 62mph Fastest Indian Train 125mph Fastest British 1.5m Rail Employees in India 1.3m National Health Service Employees in the UK Laloo Prasad, a lower-caste (not my words) politician born in Bihar, one of the poorest states, is fêted now as a business visionary. Until recently, when its coffers were down to their last £40 million, the railway was dismissed as being on a one-way track to ruin. "Indian Railways is on the verge of a financial crisis," a government study concluded seven years ago. "To put it bluntly, the 'business as usual, low growth' will rapidly drive it to fatal bankruptcy." Yet today it is sitting on a £13 billion cash pile. KPMG, the accountancy firm, says that it "evokes the admiration of internationally renowned institutions and companies alike". Commentators put it down to getting the basics right. "They did what business schools teach," Premchand Palety, director of the Centre for Forecasting and Research in Delhi, said. "They analysed the railways and the competition. Ideas for improvement were taken from inside the organisation and from best practices abroad. They then came up with the mantra: 'Run heavier, longer and faster trains.'" Mr Prasad put his overstaffed workforce to work rather than risk his political career by making job cuts. Now freight trains are turned round in five days, compared with seven in 2001, meaning that 800 begin new journeys every day, with each of the extra 250 trips adding up to £7million to the bottom line. By increasing load and length, it added £800million to annual revenue. ARE YOU STILL LAUGHING? Dr Anand anandjee Overseas Citizen of India |
