New Delhi Railway Station

Train leaving New Delhi Railway Station (14 November, 2004)


The Indian Railway is a fascinating institution that has stirred my curiosity. With 1.6 million employees, it is the world's largest employer. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to view this mammoth organisation at work, and to document the daily life in Indian's railway stations.

The New Delhi Railway Station (GPS: 28.64227, 77.22155) offers a peek at this microcosm. It is huge, like an urban village of its own. Everywhere you look, there was people and train, coming and going from all parts of India. They offer a fascinating photography opportunity, and a kaleidoscope of ever changing human drama. There were people sleeping, vendors hawking foodstuff, each person in his own world, minding his own business.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
