    Avoid Old Delhi Railway Station

    Posted by PhilSen 20 December 2005

    If you can, embark or disembark at the next stop along the line.

    I thought I'd seen it all but this weekend I found myself literally fighting for platform space with thousands of fellow passengers. Parts of the station are under serious repair (and, this being India, will be for some time to come yet) and have the feel of a bombsite-cum-assault course.

    Add to this carts full of baggage blocking your path, porters with unwieldy loads balanced on their heads bashing into you plus the chaotic masses that are India, and you have a recipe for disaster. It took me 25 minutes to get off the platform - I timed it.

    On the other hand, you may never get a better photo opportunity that sums up the riotous melee of Asia like this.
