It seemed as if Railway Board Member Rolling Stock, Rajesh Agrawal, was in an ideal, fairy railway land on his Mumbai visit on Wednesday. Contrary to complaints of commuters, he declared at a press conference what could only be in his land of make believe, that all suburban trains in Mumbai, including those on harbour line, were new and well-maintained, the harbour line had improved, and stations were spic and span.

He also said there was no shortage of new trains. This is exactly the opposite of what commuters have been complaining about. While the harbour line has a few sets of old trains, the trans-harbour line has all old trains.
