This is an initiative by Chennai Division to inform and entertain the passenger about the heritage and beauty of railways the traditional way - thru an on board magazine which will be distributed initially to the passengers of Premium Trains - like Rajdhani, Duronto, Shatabdi, etc., just like In flight magazines. In the modern era where the all pervading cellphone is almost indispensable for want of a better alternative, this innovative magazine can keep the passengers occupied enough to keep the cellphone away atleast for sometime during their journey. With a judicious mix of Information and Entertainment, the magazine hopes to keep the passengers occupied and interested in many matters concerning the Railways and the train passenger. The *platform* aims to bring the railways and the passengers on the same platform, figuratively, for sharing of ideas and information, and serve as the preferred "on board" infotainment media. Through stories, indepth articles and analytics, the magazine aims to showcase the heritage of Indian Railways as well as present the modernity of Indian Railways through a series of well researched articles - making it intellectually and visually appealing.
The inaugural issue of the magazine is programmed to be distributed in Chennai - Bengaluru Double Decker Train tomorrow *30th September 2022* in the presence of GM/SRly and DRM/Chennai Division.
