15,000 Strong! Our Journey Reaches a New Station! 🚆🎉


To the amazing Platform7 community,

We’ve officially hit 15,000 subscribers! 🎊


When I started this channel, it was all about sharing the unique charm, technical marvels, and rhythmic sounds of the Indian Railways. Seeing so many of you join this journey—from the technical discussions in the comments to the shared nostalgia of long-distance trips—makes every hour spent at a train door or editing a vlog completely worth it.


Whether you've been here since the early days or just joined us on the recent trip to Shimla, thank you for your incredible support, your insightful feedback, and for being the best "virtual co-passengers" I could ask for.


Our tracks are stretching further than ever, and I can't wait to show you what's around the next bend. Next stop: 20k! 🚀


See you on the platform,
Binai Sankar

Alert!! We are back to WEEKLY Videos! Over the last month, I had tried a different upload strategy, which has clearly failed. My heartfelt thanks to all viewers who support us during these difficult times.

We'll now return to our old upload schedule now. New videos will drop at 8am every Sunday with any follow up video being released on Wednesday at 12noon.

I seek your support, going forward! I'll probably attempt another style of story telling in the next video series, which will drop next month.

Thanks once again for your wholehearted support. I hope it continues going forward.

Hello all!

Presenting the travel series on platform7 by Binai Sankar! This time I am taking you on a lovely journey to the Saurashtra region of Gujarat (Western Gujarat). Over the next few weeks you'll see videos from Gujarat. The first journey in the series was on board 16334 Thiruvananthapuram Central - Veraval Express.

This journey is coming up as three parts - the first part video has already dropped and the following parts will be released at 12noon on Monday and Tuesday!!

This will be followed by videos from the Junagadh Veraval Metre Gauge line, a short exploration around Dwarka and a fabulous return journey on the Okha Ernakulam Express! Stay tuned for these videos will be coming up over the next few weeks! All the videos are being arranged as a single playlist as well!

Thanks a lot for your support and encouragement. I hope they'll continue in the future as well!

Hi everyone! 😊

First of all, a big thank you for all the support you’ve given Platform7 so far. Your views, comments, and encouragement mean a lot and keep me motivated to continue sharing these journeys with you. 🙏

I’m planning to try a slightly new upload style going forward. Instead of a single long video, some journeys may be presented as episodes — with the first episode continuing to release on Sunday at 8 AM, just like always. So don’t worry, your weekly dose of Platform7 will remain exactly the same. 👍

The idea is to make the content more detailed and easier to watch, without changing the overall experience you’re used to.

For the subsequent episodes, I’m considering releasing them on the following days at one of these times:
• 10 AM
• 12 PM
• 2 PM
• 5 PM

I’d really love to hear your opinion — which time works best for you to watch new episodes?

Please let me know in the comments. Your feedback will help shape how the channel moves forward.

Thank you once again for being part of this journey! 🚆

Help! Folks! Help!

Suppose I am traveling from New Delhi to the south, and I have the opportunity to try the Rajdhani, which one would you think I must try? The options are to take the Trivandrum Rajdhani, or try coming via Mumbai. Vote your answers quickly!

Wishing all a very happy new year!

The year 2025 was just fabulous! I traveled to my heart's content, saw many places that I always wanted to visit, traveled on trains that were on my to-do list!

Thanks a lot for your all your support & encouragement! I wouldn't have done this without the support of my Platform7 family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
