Patna: The Patna Junction is not more a junk yard. It is one of the very few railway stations of the country where Escalators would be installed for the convenience of passengers.
Escalator is a moving staircase – a conveyor transport device for carrying people between floors of a building.  The Escalators would make it easy for people to move between platforms via Foot Over Bridge. This would be a great relief to the Elderly, Pregnant Females and Handicapped people.
