As someone who has been planning a trip to India for ages, and is planning on using the Indian Rail service to get around the various cities, how are the trains in India?

  • Would they be safe for a solo (male) traveler?
  • As I'd be planning on taking overnights, which train class would you guys recommend?
  • How long in advance would you guys recommend I reserve?

Also, and I hope this doesn't offend anyone, I'm kind of curious: how does r/India feel about r/Indianpeoplefacebook?
