'''Poona''' is a city about 100km south-east of [[Bombay]] (now Mumbai), which was formerly a garrison town of the [[British Army]]. It is now called '''Pune''', and is in Maharahstra state. In recent times it has been famous for being the birthplace of the British comedian Spike Milligan, and the ashram of the Orange People (followers of Sri Rajneesh).
Poona was an important junction where the metre gauge [[Southern Mahratta Railway]] met the broad gauge of the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]].
