"Incidentally Trivandrum is the capital of Cochin"
Trivandrum (now Thiruvananthapuram) is the capital of the State of Kerala, in which Cochin (Kochi) is a major city. The BBC videographer could have been better informed, but nevertheless an enjoyable series on Indian Railways.
Well conceived and well directed; a cool video and you a get a feeling of sadness. But all things must come to pass and finis finally appears.Incidentally Trivandrum is the capital of Cochin
Thanks Superatticman for posting such a great videos.
Even after so many years these videos portrays life in India. Time has changed; so do some faces of life, but still spirit remains the same.
I appreciate idea of traveling through second class- it brings much closer to common man.
When I will go to India next time, I will look forward to travel by railways- long distance.
The band at end on beach of Cochin during sunset is like icing on the cake.
Keep it up !

one or two other pieces have ended on better musical notes, but those names escape me right now... perhaps forever.... joy.
