Around India In 80 Trains

The Lifeline Express

We spent a week on the Lifeline Express, the world's first hospital train that parks in rural areas for four weeks at a time to bring free medical care to the poor. The Lifeline Express offers a combination of surgery for orthopaedic problems, cataracts, cleft lips and ears. Probably the train that had the most impact on us.
