Maharashtra: These Tourist Locations To Have Restaurant o­n Wheels

Central Railways (CR) has already opened ‘Restaurant o­n Wheels’ at CSMT Mumbai and Nagpur Stations under the Non Fare Revenue Scheme. 

Accordingly, CR has also identified seven other tourist spots to set up similar projects i.e. Lokmanya Tilak Teminus (LTT), Kalyan, Lonavala, Neral, Igatpuri, Dadar and Matheran.

In addition, seeing the success of the project, it has come to light that the railways will soon start Restaurant o­n Wheel at four stations i.e. Akurdi, Chinchwad, Miraj and Baramati Stations.  

Restaurant o­n Wheel is a modified coach mounted o­n rails, a fine-dining place offering a unique experience to diners and accommodates more than 40 patrons inside the coach with tables. The interior of the restaurant has been decorated in such a way that diners can enjoy the experience of dining in a rail-themed setting. Restaurant o­n Wheels at CSMT and Nagpur has become a landmark eating house in the area with an approximate 1,25,000 visitors and 1,50,000 visitors respectively who have enjoyed the place & relished eating at the restaurants from its opening till date.

These Restaurant o­n Wheels theme is superb example of passenger friendly initiatives combined with novel ideas of revenue generation.
