I can't help but think of the fact that India has not been peaceful since the founding of the country, and that there have been many bloody battles between Hindus and Muslims; India, which was formerly the same country, British India, and Pakistan have had three large-scale wars after the establishment of the country, and they have been tense to this day; Mahatma Gandhi, the founding spiritual leader, and the two prime ministers of Gandhi were assassinated.

There is also the caste system that creates social injustice in India, and so on. New Delhi → Amritsar Train This evening's train took Xueluo and Liu Jingshu out of New Delhi for Amritsar, the second stop of the Indian trip. Train tickets are booked domestically through booking sites in India and depart at 20:10 PM.

Delhi → Amritsar are 514 km. Train: 18237/;Carriage: Class 1: 22 Air-conditioned double-decker berthsBed No.: 14 upper berths/16 upper berths/17 aisle down/18 aisle upper station chartered van will deliver Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu and luggage to New Delhi Nizamuddin Railway Station at half past six in the evening.

The regular express train from New Delhi to Amritsar is to board Xueluo and Liu Jingshu at this station. There are two major passenger railway stations in New Delhi, namely: New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi Railway Station, and Nizamuddin Railway Station. The first two of these railway stations are the main railway stations of New Delhi.

It is located in the old city of New Delhi in the north of Connaught Plaza. Nizamuddin Railway Station is a small station located near Humayun's Tomb in the south of New Delhi, a little further from the old city. Humayun was the Mughal emperor who died in a tragic fall down the stairs of the Old Fort, and his tomb is very distinctive.

Xueluo and Liu Jingshu plan to visit again when they finally return to Delhi. There is also a tomb of Nizamuddin near the railway station, after which the railway station takes its name. Nizamuddin was an Indian Muslim Sufi saint who was highly worshipped by Indian Muslims and died in 1325. In many foreign countries, train stations are open, which means that you can reach the platform without barriers, regardless of whether you have a ticket or not.

The same is true of railway stations in India, where there is no ticket check at the entrance of the station. Some train stations have security checks, such as the Nizamuddin train station in front of you. The ticket window of the train station, this is a small train station, and there are not many people queuing up to buy tickets. Some big city railway stations in India now have special ticket windows and even ticket halls for foreigners, which greatly facilitates the booking of tickets for foreign tourists.

No need to mingle with the locals and wait in the dreaded long queues. The social environment of strange India is not all problems, and there are also praiseworthy points. From this vantage point, you can see the railway station's flyover and several platforms, each numbered. With so many platforms, how do you find your train to stop?

Electronic display on the outside of the building. Indian railway stations have this kind of electronic information display, some can be seen at the entrance of the station, and some are hung in the hall. The electronic display screen of the big railway station is relatively large, and it can display multiple lines of information, of course, it is much worse than the electronic display screen of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's domestic market, and the Xueluo of the small railway station has seen the kind that only shows one line.

But they are all scrollable, and they are all displayed alternately in Hindi and English. The train to be taken today was already hanging on the display screen when Xueluo and Liu Jingshu arrived at the station. Train number: 18237, train name: is the name of the train, is the name of the train, and is also the name of the state of Chhattisgarh.

Together, this means: Chhattisgarh Special Express, departure time: 22:25, stop time: 1. The punctual departure time of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu is 20:20, and the departure time displayed on the station's electronic screen is 22:25. In other words, from the current point of view, this train will be delayed by at least more than 2 hours.

In particular, it should be noted that the information on the display screen you see now is dynamic, and there will be changes over time, such as the departure time and platform information, which may change, so you should pay special attention to avoid missing the train. The most accurate departure information comes from the station announcement, which is also alternated between Hindi and English.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the others, the most important thing is to hear the train number and the platform number at the end. When I heard the train number reported by the platform, it means that the train is about to enter the station, and the platform number reported at the end is the most accurate. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu encountered a situation at the Varanasi railway station where the information displayed on the electronic information board was inconsistent with the actual train arrival information.

If you don't pay attention, you may miss the car. Before I arrived in India, I heard that the trains in India were unreliable, and nine out of ten trains were delayed, which seems to be the case. The first of the ten trains that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu planned to take in India was delayed. Delayed trains mean losses for tourists, and it means that they don't have to compress their travel time.

It's about compressing breaks. So, when traveling by train in India, plan your time better. If you're planning to stay in a place for a day, that's enough in terms of time and sights, but what if the train is half a day late?

This is a small electronic display on the platform of the station, which can only display the information of the train that is about to arrive at the station. Now the first line shows that the 18237 train that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu will take will enter the station at 22:55 and depart at 23:20. Stop at Platform 1. The second row shows the order in which the train cars are grouped.

The train car marshalling in India is not as simple as in the Dragon Kingdom, and the number 1 and 2 cars are marked with Arabic numerals...... Rather, it is by carriage type + number. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's carriage number is 1, and this display shows that the carriage is in front of the fourth car. This information is accurate.

In some stations, there are fixed signs with car numbers on the platforms, which is inaccurate. When Xueluo and Liu Jingshu arrived at the station, the estimated train arrival time displayed on the large display was 22:25, and after a few hours it changed to 22:55, and the time was only pushed back by half an hour, which is already very good.

When Snow Fall and Liu Jingshu returned to Agra from Varanasi, the delay on the monitor changed from the afternoon to the next morning, which was simply devastating. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's train to Amritsar will stop at this platform.

The passenger platforms of Indian railway stations are covered with rain shelters, and there is no waiting room for passengers who are not included in the air-conditioned car class, so the vast majority of Indians wear a blanket or sit or lie on the concrete floor of the platform. For passengers in the air-conditioned car class, waiting rooms are available with tickets, but they are very simple, small in size and have only a few rows of wooden strips with seats.

Therefore, waiting at a train station in India can be very torturous. Insert: Because Xueluo's mobile phone card could not be activated, when waiting at the station, she asked Xueluo to turn on the mobile phone hotspot so that she could share the network to kill time. In the past, I didn't use a mobile phone hotspot, so I used the passwordless sharing mode.

Just opened for a while, 360 software immediately alarmed, open the screen to take a look, the flow is like a tap water meter to go fast, 5 of the flow instantly consumed 1, oh mom, scared the baby to death, this is how many people are working together to rub the net! Hurry up and close the hotspot and set the password. The mobile phone rubbing traffic at the Indian railway station is too fierce?

While waiting for the train, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went to a fast food restaurant near the station to have their second dinner in India.

Sour, spicy, salty, and smelly. This is a typical popular food in India. The snow is not very adaptable, and it is okay to taste it once in a while. When it was close to 11 p.m. on the New Delhi → Amritsar train, the train finally stopped at the station, and it was more than two hours late. More than two hours late, which is not considered a delay in India.

In this country where trains are generally delayed, some people may be amazed only when they are on time. The list of passengers posted on the door of the Indian train has the name sign of the train on the outside of the carriage, such as Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's name of the train, in large white letters, which is very conspicuous, and there is also a small display screen above each carriage showing the train number of the train.

Ruxueluo and Liu Jingshu's car is 18237, and you should check carefully before getting on the bus to avoid getting on the wrong bus. In addition, there are grade number signs at the door of the carriage, such as Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's 1, which should also be checked before getting on the train, so as not to get on the wrong carriage. Interestingly, at the door of the sleeper compartment there is a list of passengers who will board the train at this station.

If you have purchased a ticket for this carriage, your English name and passport number will be shown on this list. New Delhi's Nizamuddin Railway Station boarded a train in India for the first time. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked online for the bus with the highest berth class among the 10-leg trains on this Indian tour.

2. Second-class air-conditioned sleeper cars. The biggest advantage of the sleeper car is that one person is a berth, and people who do not have a sleeper ticket can not enter this carriage, which greatly increases the comfort and safety of the journey, and the disadvantage can not be said to be that it costs more money. I compared the price difference between Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's 2, 3 and two grades on this trip.

In the photo above the train car in India, there are 2 carriages on the left of Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, and 1 compartment on the right. 2 compartments have no doors, and 1 is fully enclosed with doors, which is quieter and safer.

Of course, the price has to go up a lot. There are a plurality of open partitions in 2 carriages, each partition has 6 berths, namely: two up and two down in the inner transverse side, and one up and down in the longitudinal direction on the outside. The common denominator between the 2 carriages and the 3 carriages is that they are all air-conditioned carriages, and the window glass is sealed and relatively clean.

There is a bedding mattress, bed sheets, and blankets, and after getting on the bus, there is a special person to distribute them. The longitudinal bunks on the outside of the partition are two layers. The difference is: the 2-compartment partition has a transverse double-layer berth, while the 3-compartment compartment has a transverse three-layer berth, and the middle berth must be closed during the day and cannot sleep.

To put it simply: 2 is a two-storey berth, 3 is a three-storey berth, except for the side berths. A ticket for 2 is about 35% more expensive than 3. Interior photo of a train car in India where snow falls and Yoo Jingshu rides in 2 cars. On the left of the photo above is Xueluo and Liu Jingshu sitting in a partitioned horizontal compartment, which has no open door.

There are a total of 4 bunks on the inside, facing two up and two down. Because it is a double storey, it is relatively spacious, and the upper bunk does not need to be folded, and on the right side is Jiajia and Xueluo sitting on the longitudinal double bunk on the outside of the compartment. This location is also double-decker in the 3 carriages, so when booking the 3 carriages, some people like to book the outer two berths without affecting the rest during the day.

I heard that there are many thieves on Indian trains, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu both locked their luggage with iron chains to the iron legs under the lower bunks according to the safety rules mentioned in the strategy. But in fact, the ten cars that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu took, including the ordinary sleeper cars, did not feel the insecurity of their luggage, so that they were too lazy to lock the chains in the next two or three journeys.

The air-conditioned carriages have absolutely no outsiders entering, and they are more strict, and there are no outsiders entering after the class starts, but when parking, there are vendors who come in to sell drinks and food. In the ten trains taken, from 2 to 2, there is no fixed conductor in the carriage to provide station reporting service; only in the air-conditioned carriage I have seen people wearing plain clothes and bedding, and nothing else.

I have seen the conductor checking the ticket, and a person is checking the ticket in the carriage. There are no in-car meals available, and soft-seat express meals are available. One of the biggest advantages of air-conditioned cars over regular sleeper cars is that they are clean, the windows are sealed, and the doors are closed. Unlike ordinary sleeper or hard-seat cars, the windows are not closed, the doors are not closed, and the car is dusty as soon as it is opened.

The old man in a white hat and plainclothes in the train carriage in India is responsible for the bedding, and he only cares about the bedding. After seeing the passengers get on the bus and sit down in their bunks, he will take a bedding sheet, a mattress, and a blanket from the front compartment and hand them to the passengers. After giving Xueluo and Liu Jingshu bedding, he looked at Xueluo and Liu Jingshu with a smile.

Then he stretched out his hand to ask for a tip from Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. All the way, he was looking at Xueluo and Liu Jingshu with a smile, I don't know if the tips he gave continued to recharge, or if he wanted Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to continue to tip after fully consuming his smiling face. 3~1123 Amritsar Half-Day TourToday is the third day of travel.

Plan a day trip to Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple in the morning and the flag-lowering ceremony on the India-Pakistan border in the afternoon. Overnight stay in Amritsar. Due to the delay of the train by 4 hours, it is quite that the day trip planned for today is only half a day. In the afternoon, I went to the border between India and Pakistan, and in the evening, I went to see the night view of the Golden Temple. Overnight in Amritsar. Amritsar Railway StationAmritsar Railway Station.

An overnight train. To say that the biggest advantage of the 2 carriages is that there are few people, quiet, there are already two floors, and there is no one in the lower bunk, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu hang on the upper bunk, which is very light for Xueluo, a person who sleeps very lightly, and it is rare to have a good rest on the rickety train. If the train had been on time, it would have arrived in Amritsar at 8:10 a.m.

However, the train departed from Delhi last night and continued to be late on the way, and it was already 12 noon in Amritsu, which was nearly four hours late. This means half a day less time in Amritsar. Travel plans were forced to adjust. Did you see the words on the carriage behind Xueluo and Liu Jingshu?
