Luxurious passenger lounge to come up at Pune Railway Station

On the lines of the Pune airport, a luxurious passenger lounge will now be built at the Pune Railway Station. This lounge will be constructed near the reservation center premises. Passengers will get good-quality facilities and the tender process will also begin shortly. The air-conditioned lounge will feature sofas, hot and cold beverages, breakfast options, free wifi, books, magazines, newspapers, and other items.

There is a waiting area for passengers to sit on platform one, and the number of people leaving the Pune railway station is growing daily. There’s a waiting area with air conditioning besides the parcel office, but it lacks any extra amenities. Additionally, the arrangement of seats is likewise average. As a large number of important personalities and individuals frequently visit Pune station, the railway administration has chosen to build a lounge with all the amenities necessary to guarantee passengers receive special treatment.  Passengers have to pay on an hourly basis for this facility.

The volume of people lining up at reservation centers at train stations across the nation, including Pune, has decreased as a result of the sharp rise in online ticket sales. The reservation center at Pune station has had more than half of its windows closed for the previous few months. The railway authority then decided to construct a lounge with a large area in front and closed windows. Thus, good use will be made of the available space. In addition, the railway will receive revenue, shared Milind Hirve, Pune’s Senior Divisional Commercial Manager.
