Clearly
aging,
but
nonetheless
charming
old
train
station
filled
with
character.
It
acts
as
the
starting
point
for
the
popular
circle
train.
For
those
taking
the
circle
train,
it
can
be
a
bit
of
a
pain
to
find
how
to
get
to
the
platform
and
purchase
your
ticket,
but
workers
are
reasonably
helpful
when
asking
for
help.
For
taking
the
circle
train:
-
navigate
to
the
easternmost
entrance
to
the
train
station,
enter
the
station
there
until
you
see
the
tracks,
and
look
for
the
staircase
on
the
easternmost
wall
which
goes
over
the
tracks.
It
will
probably
have
a
sign
on
it
saying
"circular
train"
-
walk
on
the
staircase
and
then
over
the
bridge
over
the
tracks,
making
sure
to
follow
signs
for
the
circular
train
-
descend
onto
the
middle
platform
again
following
the
signs
-
proceed
to
the
ticket
booth
further
west
along
the
platform,
it
is
here
where
you
can
purchase
a
ticket
to
the
circle
train.
At
the
time
of
writing,
the
fare
is
200
Kyats
-
Ask
for
where
to
board
the
train,
and
wait
to
board
Some
tips:
-
it
is
a
truly
fun
and
authentic
experience
for
those
looking
for
it,
but
it
is
by
no
means
a
luxury
train,
or
even
"exciting"
by
most
definitions
of
the
word
exciting.
It
is
a
true
cultural
experience,
and
much
more
about
what
goes
on
on-board
the
train
rather
than
outside
the
train.
The
external
scenery
isn't
much
to
behold,
but
taking
in
life
for
the
average
Yangonite
on-board
the
train
is
very
special
-
For
the
most
exciting
rides,
come
in
the
morning,
when
the
city
is
waking
up
-
and
it
isn't
extremely
hot
yet.
Yes,
on-board
the
train
during
the
day
it
can
get
borderline
unbearable
at
times,
try
to
snag
a
window
seat
if
you
can
and
open
it
all
the
way!
-
If
you
are
running
late
for
the
train
like
I
was,
this
is
Yangon!
You
can
totally
run
after
it
and
catch
it,
which
although
probably
dangerous,
was
a
hysterically
fun
experience.
