- Dan Snow, Anita Rani, and Robert Llewellyn examine the role the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai plays in long-distance travel across India. The country's rail passengers travel three million kms every day - that's the distance to the moon and back, four times.
Anita joins passengers on a long-distance sleeper across India, to discover who's travelling, what they pay for their tickets and what conditions are like on board.
The station team have just six hours to service trains after every journey. With trains measuring more than half-a-kilometre in length this is a gargantuan task. Robert joins the team to watch this turnaround in action.
Dan gets his hands dirty with the behind-the-scenes support teams who process more than 25,000 dirty sheets a day and ensure that everyone on board is fed and watered.
And we go on board one of India's poshest tourist trains, where you can travel like a maharaja at a cost of £600 per night.
India is one of my Bucket list destination.
love from Philippines.
Ryan Celebra welcome
@@sanjivpratap8800 fuck off bastard
You are welcome. But make sure you have trusted local friends or guides. Not paid guides. But locals who can tell you where to go, how to behave for your own safety. It's by and large a safe place but you should know which areas are safer or safest to roam around, especially for women.
@@sanjivpratap8800 I hope they have the best curry cuisine there.
That is one of my two reasons why I wanted to go to India, the other one is Taj Mahal.
nigga why
That fan blowing air down is fantastic....oh how we appreciate the small things when its worse 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂
I genuinely feel for the Cameraman. 😂
(3 yr old comment.. but..)
What?!! Forget about cameramen.
They're the people you need to least worry about 😉
@@wildone8397 ofc, cameraman never dies =)))
People spend thousands of dollars for adrenaline rush but we Indians witness it for free..
Ya right .. forced adrenaline rush mixed with sweat and smell of 1000 others !
Becoz we are used to it of daily rushes there is no hope some day we will get comfort
Indians always try and get something for nothing.
lol.. mental.

your ignorance leads to loss of jobs in your own countries..no offence but always see on both sides of argument if you want to increase your GK...like see democratic and repiblican ,both side of arguments and then analyse whats right even if you support anyone.......

India has much developed Metro networks not inherited from British Era & which work more professionally
And who engineered and developed them? Foreigners, right?

@@urrehmh we already build the biggest toilet in 1947 its is known as porkistan and before calling us stinking rascals look at you own country your people don't have water to wash there own asses so the one who is smelly and stinks is you.

24:42 makes me very happy as an Indian. That's a hardware / electronics data center. Not servers or racks, but electro-mechanical switches and mechanical relays. Steampunk genius. Of course, automation would make things easier, but then in India, nothing goes exactly to plan, so automation would fail to handle most of the unexpected edge cases.
I wonder what the maintenance schedules and failure rates for those wires and relays are.
Semiconductors work better because they last much longer than mechanical switches or relays at rated conditions (temperature, pressure, electrical load, environment).
If they have electrified everything, maybe an electronic signalling network with transmitters on the trains themselves, that provide real time data is possible, rather than relying on track-based switches which I presume need regular testing and inspection.
The good thing about this network is that it can withstand an EMP attack, which would probably fry a fully electronic sensor and wireless signalling network. But that's not an eventuality anybody wants tested!
Finally, i see a correct map of india in a foreign documentary...
That's because the British prefer India over pakistan or china.
Thats because recently Indian government has passed a law regarding that. Who are you trying to fool here?
Akki Gupta your correct
because we indians r too easy to be servant..of british....
👉I like watching ❤INDIA IN DETAILS. 👌It's cool and knowledgeable😎
30 years back, I used to go to Nariman Point Business District every day and used to do the rush hours. Once me and my friend decided, lets wake up 30 minutes early, go in opposite direction during rush hours and then sit in the train to go reverse, this way we would not have to enter with such a crazy way. 30 years back, it was no different. One thing i learned was, If i want to compete, I need to be different. Did so many education program, Left that race and moved abroad. Every time past 28 years i visited India, ensure to go to CST Terminal and have Wada Pav (Indian Burger) at the station. Love Mumbai.
Are You a CA?
Good decision. Was nark....
I felt comfortable there. I love India 🇮🇳❤️
thankyou bro....or sis..seems like you are one among intellegent westerners..others are ignorant
India has great engineers
Jerry G jealous
it's more like disgust
Jerry G, and you know the difference? Go home & be disgusting. Just put a sign around your neck that says "unclean, disgusting, stay away". Then stay away.
Bakshy Chibber I can smell you from here..wewph
amit singh fick, lol
The lady at 9:41 😂, she is like "the hell this fella screaming for" 😂 Anita looks so out of place in the situation 😂
Don't even try this at home...haha
A very, very well done documentary.
An ideal depiction of the Mumbai local trains.
A documentary on Mumbai done right.
Kudos :)
This is from the time when the BBC had some credibility unlike the Hinduphobic, India-bashing, pseudo-liberal trash they have metamorphosed into like the New York Times and other rubbish like the Al Jazeera.
Just adding a tip for any Indian or Mumbaikar watching this: See this video again as if it is about trains in some European country (Paris / Prague / Bucharest / Milan / Madrid /etc) Just substitute the names.
Doing this will show you you see how truly awesome it is. 5-10 million people a day in one city is no joke.
And it's 100% green transport. Because we live here we don't tend to value what is good about here.
realy liked how this foreign newschannels makes documentary more simple knowledge giving unlike our news channels whose reporters are constantly barking and repeating same lines again and agian. I really liked how bbc did research before making this documentary, we didn't really knew what exactly goes behind the indian railway network. Thanks for making such good documentary.
Indian news chanels should learn from this.
and Indian that learns hahahah thats impossible they can only use drugs rape steal and shit on the street
@@jackcola5513! Shut up !
@@MrPoornakumar hahaha u mad cuz you live in a anus
@@jackcola5513 typical american 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@mitabanerjee6553 im european idiot
I am laughing,enjoying and missing these journeys while watching this documentary. Well these people certainly missed Virar, Churchgate and Dadar Station where they would have found double crowd and two connecting railway line at one junction.
I was in Paris last year and the metro stations there can compete with Mumbai. It's jam packed.
I am assuming you are taking in account the traffic volume of trains. And what about the rush?
Every bbc documentary flim show everything was built by BRITISH .
No they dont but that Mumbai train station totally was. It looks great.
BBC documentaries are invaluable. Well researched and well crafted. Indian Railway should increase the fare by twice as it is now for better service and accomodation with newly built trains with more compartments.
Living in a Mumbai is mirage. People outside Mumbai think it's heaven. Only people from Mumbai knows real truth(But they will never say that). Even ants must be living better life.
Travelling by local train is none less than fighting on border. No guarantee that person will return home in a single piece. A small mistake can cost life. Now imagine you have to be 100% perfect, 365 days a year.
Wonder how come people can tolerate farts, bad breaths, sweat smell & other filthy smells once they get on board at the same time brushing their skin against others(who may be bearing some kind of skin disease either? :)
During monsoon the situation worsens, as trains comes to halt, people get down on tracks filled with 2-3 ft of water and walk towards their destinations while crushing poop laden slurry with their branded shoes.
Nark on earth...
Most of the railways in the world suffering and encountering different challenges but India still managed it in any ways. India is a beautiful country if the government minimizes its corruption, this unnecessary practice of human being caused a lot of negative outcome. Honestly I love Indians compare to Arab. I have a lot of Indians Co-workers and all of them are really nice, smart and kind. With respect and love from the Philippines
It's only crowded during the morning and evening commute.
Around noon, the train is quite OK.
A very beautiful documentary!
Hats off to the TMS, Dabbawalas, and all others involved in the day to the operations of the railway network!
I was feeling depress but Seeing this video makes me realize there is no reason to feel depress. Some people literally have nothing and I am here overthinking .
Not only this station is busy.. Every railway station in India is like that... ✌
exactly
It will never happen in kerala....problem of over population
@@mckck338 w8 it will definitely happen in Kerala
Dabba wala ap ko pranam🙏🙏🙏
Lots of love from all over the India.
Who's that??
Salute and Pranam to all the Indians 🙏🏼🙏🏼! We are the super heroes.
But we still love Mumbai...
I think no one is interested in indian railways other than indians after looking at the comment section
Non Indian here lol
No indian here either. I just love how you keep this old trains working fine. In Germany we did this for a long time too, but since the 1990s, everything has to be bought anew all the time, and reparing things fell totally out of favour.
(In Berlin, the trains running in the late 1990s were built in the early 1930s)
Non indian here, I've fascinated by transport all over the world! :)
I have to do this for geography work Imao
German here, my heart beats for India 🇮🇳
I am thankful for living in Canada every single day! But wow...such a complicated and well orchestrated system
you're welcome to leave
every Mumbaikar is proud of this.but there is huge scope for improvements. and many of them are happening as we watch.👍
I'm watching when railway is not operating! #lockdown
And I miss it badly😭😂
People in the west call us hardworking, you see this and you realize everyday is a struggle for the Indian middle class, so for the Indians flocking to the developed countries, western standards of "struggle" seems like a luxury.
they couldnt get on for half an hour😂
unbelievable....
And yet it works!
Doesn’t mean it works well!!
I have always said that if India takes off like China in 40-50 years its rail industry will be the most lucrative and if it spaces its cities out and High speed rail isn't stopping every 30 minutes they will have a lucrative high speed rail service and being no other high speed rail system in the world is lucrative that says something! As far as the train station - if it was as nice as the exterior (if it was clean) it would be an amazing building
Thank you very much for this amazing documentary on World's Busiest Railway. It is really informative, educational and truly interesting.
Thanks, million thanks...very knowledgeable clip...pls v need more clips like this...once again thanks
BBC, please make a documentary how british plundered india for 200 years
Why blame them ... If we were strong enuf we couldve kicked them out but we tried and we couldn't ... They used our soldiers against us ... And we kept on fighting amongst ourselves ...
pls show us how ppl in India wash there faces in the water the shit in
@Sudipa Roy uh have not a clue what your trying to say throwing babies ?? im from the Netherlands my country is not corrupt infrastructure is the best of Europe our capital is the most visited city in Europe and our haven is the second biggest of this planet there will never be a day that India will be better then the Netherlands just accept that
ya we rr man
Sudipa Roy i told him this in dutch to. India is more then 5000 years old. Stories from Ram are milions of years ago. Im also from the Netherlands our countries history is like a seed compared to India’s history. India will have his golden times back sooner ore later.
Dabbawalas, my salute to you. I used their service for two years in Mumbai. I never once missed my dabba meal, amazing approaching miracle!
shit wallas !!
I just love this video
LOL your were so funny at rush hour. I glad no one was hurt.
9:40 look at her face what's that? LMAO
Mumbai people be like: Ye hamara roj ka hai....aap Kurla me apna camera aur wallet sambhalo
See these daba wala their brain is much faster than the latest i7
DHL HAS SENT THEIR EXECUTIVES FOR TRAINING WITH BOMBAY DABAWALA. - DABA NEVER CHANGES - BUSIEST STATION IN THE WORLD IS CHURCHGATE. NUMBER OF TRAINS LEAVING CHURCH GATE IS SO FAST THAT EVERY FORTY SECONDS ONE LEAVE AND ONE COME INSIDE
tu bhi dabba wala kyu nahi ban jaata bhai ?
@@AapkiRasoi uske liye tej dimag chaiye na
Love blessings from India ❤️🙏
There was development in British times by Indians..these has same now ! Need to be ashamed for wrong !!

Thanks .Fantastic coverage,
Incredible!!
They got a nice culture shock😂😂

Didn't you read *BBC* in title
uk is now weakest piece of s***,they are tiny enough to be conquered by so called third world nations like india and china.....their bbc dont show them gift city built in india...see gift city to wash your brainwash
Great share video my friend! Thank for sharing!
The overall documentary shows the true very high diurnal temperature of divine. Very devoted and dedicated to their works and jobs, super-humanly excellent . For Railway, Brilliant coordination between Human and Technology.
The Indian Railways must have been even more interesting prior to the Partition Era !!!!
Men and women don't travel separately, there are general comparts for everyone and then special ladies compartments.
Board from the rear, alight from the front. Same rules as on BEST buses.
The doors have a vertical bar in the middle. This divides your door into "front" (in the direction of travel) and "rear." People who are leaving the train, usually leave from the "front" of this bar and those boarding usually aim for the "rear."
I say 'usually' because there are always the newbies and other folks who don't get it! :-)
Been riding Mumbai suburban trains and buses since I was in 3rd standard...
Rural Americans become nauseous in crowds half as dense and I do not like heat either, so there's not a chance of my riding such a train. I need one full wing span minimum clearance at all times. Plus I like a clear path to a door in case of emergency.
Very interesting programme. Hari Sreenivasan, who anchors the PBS NewsHour Weekend, knows all about those train system. #PBSNEWS
I have travelled around 200 kilo meters hanging at the door on a regular train “east cost express” I believe back in 2000 . I was still doing my high school at the time . Also I had to climb a running bus (buses have ladders to get on to the roof ) and get on the roof everyday to get home from high school. 😂 I am thankful I survived .
Because of this I shifted to Pune 😂
I leave my job for this shit 🥲
So you were really high in high school.
@@anandsharma7430 lol 😂. Unfortunately with our population and lack of decent public transportation in some areas, I am pretty sure there would have been accidents and unwanted deaths . ☹️.
Hey, gr8 wrk by you, thankyou for praising us,India. but where are the other parts of this series, pls provide links. Namaste
Nice thanku bhai so much
My first Mumbai local train during rush hour.. I had fight for some time, then took taxi😝😝🤣👌
You Guys are free to roam here. Your Ancestors built this whole station
from our money
Course, they built it for their own too, at least that was the thought when they were building it, but face the fact, we Indians would have taken three times more to do just half.
lol, one of the slave of those burglars, eh?
rohitb3 The actual slave is you, which you obviously won't understand being too dumb, I just like to stay practical that's all.
Saurav Ghosh Lol, Bengalis...
Oh man.. I died laughing.. 😂🤣
INCREDIBLE
"You can get on the Tube, you can get on the Mumbai railway" Really?
Mumbai railway
Adventure Guy
As a Delhite when I went to Mumbai i was overwhelmed by the sheer overcrowded ppl everywhere. It’s special task to survive in this city; thankfully Delhi metro is world class & hasslefree.
We thanks 4 british bcos they provide us beautiful train system and we also thankful employees of indian railway their are hard working people thats way indian railway still running smothly and sucessfully all the besy INDIAN RAILWAY.
People who complain about being squashed like sardines on the London Underground should watch this. The overcrowding on these trains makes the Northern line at rush hour look peaceful in comparison
man these british journalist are so hung up in crediting their colonial imperialistic ancestors for gifting the Indians with Railways... true... but they missed the point that British had built the Railways to wring India out of its wealth at the cost of oppressing the Indians. Now you may say that without British we may not have had Railways that has bolstered our country's economy... well... the chinese did it without any western influence... British rule has gifted India many things in disguise but their intention were almost never for the benefit of the Indians. Railways and Western Education were two of them.
Shame that the Brits didn't gift you people with toilets so you could stop shitting in the streets in 2018.
Andrew Borges can find new insults bigot ?
Andrew Borges how do you really know where we shit?? Our toilets cost more than your apartments so just fuck your mouth shut
Of course they didn't miss the point but what's the point of beating yourself for something your forefathers did, generations before you were born? I wouldn't expect you to say "I'm from India, where we used to throw widows on the funeral pyre with their deceased husband", or if you said "I'm from India, home of the curry", I wouldn't say "What, curry cooked on bonfires of deceased widows??!!" Let's all just move on. Peace :)
they are not taught the agonies of their empire, that is the reason, atleast the nazis are taught their past
This jumping off the running train was completely normal in Berlin (and other parts of Germany), until the mid 2000s, when they phased out the commuter trains from the 1930s. The doors would close automatically, but you could open them again at any time. It was pretty common to leave them open in the summer too.
===> Berlin trains in the 90s: th-cam.com/video/t84jyXVW89g/w-d-xo.html
Today it's seen as a mad thing, but for me it's still somewhat normal. But when I think about the smartphone-zombies, well...
When she said "hello madam" and just got stared at 😳😂😂😂😭😭
Good quality documentary from BBC
The problem is that authorities indeed have enough budget to work upon these trains to make them safer and better. However, who cares? Let's eat money as much as we can... People are already adapted to these trains. So yeah. **BURRRPP**
Jonathan...lol! :)
Gautam V ,what lol!!!! He got the exact point after all !!! That is the basic cause behind the shameful railway system like other Government services of India !!!
We Indians have to acknowledge it !
Its already near 50% goverment subsidy,no more place for placing new tracks and no more trains can be added to the existing infra structure.They can't be made any safer.
Guys look like the for intention behind comment is same as what British had #divide and rule
Hatts off to Daba Walla's Really!
She says "These are the most densely packed railway cars in the world". No, no, sorry but Jeremy Clarkson has that phrase trademarked.
The Error by Dabbawala is 1 in 6 million that means that 1 dabba will go to wrong person in 100 years, its so precise.
The only example of six sigma in India
Busiest n one of most dangerous railways in the world
well welcome to india
just for the correct map i gave my thumbs up.
Beautiful vlog.👍👍👍👍
According to the report made in 17th
century by British officers who were send to India to investigate how to do trade in India in their report they wrote on that time they didn’t watched any beggar in whole India you British go and can read that whole report of more than one thousand pages from the royal library of Britain so basically before British reached India my country India was the richest country in the world so please take care of your own country other wise you will see what Indian’s can do with you guys and also if Britain pays money how much they looted India they have to pays more than 800 trillion dollars without any interest on plus have to give us all the things back which you took from us without our permission thank you and sorry if I break your heart by telling these things. 🙏🙏🙏
Technical Bro c'mon what about untouchables
Bullshit
@@huangzb8060 No, it's true. The report is placed in the royal library of Britain.
India was fkd up by islamic rulers, brits rescued it, actually from the tyranny.
Dabbawala literally mind boggling
First Class Transport Right there..
it is really nice know about Mumbai railway, though i hv nvr been there.
"Fresh air is precious commodity." ..so true..We have people people every where..Mumbai has one of highest T.B rates and one can assume the how fast infection can spread in these air tight compartments.We definately need less of population and more green spaces.
40% of Indians have latent tb. Never skip meal.
42:31 Someone has a GoPro Dabba...lol
It is amazing
Nice to see a Snow, a Sand and the Onion Knight taking a break from Game of Thrones and exploring a new city further east!
Over-the-top theatrics by these presenters..pretty nauseating. The way BBC gives Britain a big pat on the back for giving India the railways is sickening as well when one considers the context of IR's origins
Ben Fried thank you! Finally someone sensible
So it would be better to report on it out-of-context? They don't exactly enthuse over a past we don't view as a good bit of history
@IndiaCobra do you not know the Taj was refurbished and the garden by a British man?
@@jromh8813 do you know whole Britain got richer because of India.
The ambient smell in the train must be horrible. I'm pretty sure it would have tears-up my eyes.
Europe: be careful door is closing
Indians: doors?
Can u uploaded the other 3 episodes?
biggest task to catch train during my stay in india..difficult job..
Do visit Howrah station.
In Mumbai story service how to win the people in living from Mumbai this story is very nice thank you super
I LOVE THIS 555
1:57 was that Winston Churchill riding on that train.
