Never tried this, but one may take help of coolies to move around the railway stations. and due to concerns of safety of our luggage, I feel it would be useful to carry our own luggage and just pay to the coolie for assistance.

I really doubt if Railway officials will offer any assistance as airlines do in finding our compartment or seat. July 29, 2006 17:15 IST In the wake of the Mumbai blasts, the railway ministry has decided to introduce strict security measures in stations to ensure that only passengers enter railway platforms. "After the Mumbai blasts, we are now introducing strict security measures at the stations. Only bona fide passengers will be allowed on the platforms. Seeing-off will have to take place outside," Railway Minister Lalu Prasad said while inaugurating the country's first multi-modal transport system at NSC Bose International Airport in Kolkata. Other measures include installation of close circuit televisions inside the stations for round-the-clock vigil, installation of metal detectors at all entry points and an increase in the dog squads to ensure better security check on carriage and railway property, he said.
