More than a thousand furious rail passengers stormed a station office after they noticed the train they were on had gone 980km in the WRONG direction.

As the packed service pulled into the Indian city of Warangal people on board went berserk as they realised they were five hours away from where they should have been and no staff on board had noticed.

The train departed the southern town of Tirupati heading for the eastern city of Bhubaneswar.

It's quite common to see someone relieving themselves, both numbers, by the side of the road or rail. Where else do you go? There are no public toilets and most of the households, including those stacked three high on top of each other, have no access to running water. The streets and railways are the public lavatory. It's common knowledge and the subject of many an Indian travelogue, but it's sometimes taken just a little too literally by over-enthusiastic travellers.
