GENERAL INFORMATION:
| LOCATION: | The Mysore Rail Museum is
situated right next to the Mysore railway station. It is a barely ten minutes walk. After you step out of the station, walk outside the station courtyard, follow the road past a roundabout till you come to another roundabout a few metres away. Turn right here, and you will be at the museum gates in a few minutes. A rough location map is given below. |
| GETTING THERE: | Now I'm not an expert on
Mysore, so if you are going from anywhere in Mysore city, take an auto rickshaw. From Bangalore, the most convenient way is to take the Shatabdi Express, which leaves Bangalore at 1110 and reaches Mysore at 1310 after a non stop run. You can return by the Mysore-Tirupati Fast passenger which leaves Mysore at 1745 and reaches Bangalore at 1930. The only hitch with the Shatabdi, apart from the hefty fare is, lunch is served on board. The museum is closed between 1300 and 1500, so you have a couple of hours to spare. Alternatively, there are several trains from Bangalore to Mysore, and buses every fifteen minutes. |
| ENTRANCE, CHARGES ETC.: | Follow board below. (correct as in July 2000) |
| VISITING HOURS: | 1000 to 1300; 1500 to 1900,CLOSED ON MONDAYS |
| ADDRESS FOR COMMUNICATION: | The Inspector in-charge, Mysore Rail Museum, K.R.S.Road, Mysore-570 001. (Whoops! I'm afraid I do not know the telephone and fax numbers, but rest assured, you will not find much to correspond about). |
| SOUVENIRS ETC. | No souvenirs are on sale at the Mysore museum (true as of July 2000) except a worthless guide book which too is not available most of the time. |
