New Delhi: Indian Railways is continuously working to upgrade railway stations across the country. Since many railway stations were constructed decades ago, they do not have facilities like lifts, escalators, waiting rooms, lounges, good washrooms, retiring rooms etc. Railways in the past few years have been working on station upgradation and beautification.

Not only are stations being upgraded and with modern facilities like premium lounges, LCD displays, LED lighting, escalators etc. but, they are also being beautified with paintings, murals and art. Railways is aiming to offer airport-like facilities to the passengers at all station.

One of the best examples of Railways' effort to improve and upgrade stations is the Patna railway station. The station recently got a makeover. The walls of the station are now covered with beautiful Madhubani paintings. Apart from beautification, the station now has upgraded waiting room with LED lighting, good flooring and seating as well.

Lactating mothers will also be able to comfortably feed their babies as the station also has lactation room for the mothers. The stations have LCD display panels. It may be noted that this railway station already has high-speed wireless internet service. Passengers can enjoy free Wi-Fi facility at the station.
