The first such cafe was commissioned in June 2003 at platform number 12 of New Delhi Railway Station. It has since been a tremendous success, an official release said on Wednesday.

"Cyber cafe forms part of the passenger amenities for rail users who want facilities of Internet connectivity."

Set up in September 2000, RailTel, a public sector undertaking under the Railways Ministry, is entrusted with installing optic fibre-based telecommunication network on the Indian Railways to make rail services more efficient and safer, it added.
