Now, one can shop on board trains.
Starting Thursday, passengers can buy cosmetics, stationary and other items on some trains on MRP, the Indian Railways said.
The initiative was started in the Ahmedabad division of Western Railway on Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad Karnavati Express and Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central-Ahmedabad, Double Decker Express.
