    Hello and welcome back to India!

    Today’s video is one I’ve been looking forward to for the longest time! We’ll be up in the Himalaya Mountains taking a ride on the ‘Toy Train’ from Darjeeling down to Siliguri. This mesmerising trip will have you in wonder at every stage, from the lack of signal and level crossings, to the stunning scenery. So please sit back and enjoy the video!

      What a great trip. Even though the weather is overcast at Darjeeling, but this make your trip feels outstanding. The switchback action and that paperwork changing is very rare and interesting to see.

      I did that train when I was a teenager – back in the 1980s. By the time I got to the top (Darjeeling) I wish I had caught a bus. Although in those days the busses were slow, dangerous and crowded it would have been better than the train. The train took for ever. When I rode the train it was empty. The seating was benches and there were zero facilities Though judging by this post it sounds as if it’s a tourist thing now rather than a working train. Do a bit of it and then get off and catch a bus. Mind you, Indian busses . . . . . now there is a thing.

      If u love the gradients try take train specially in monsoons season between Mumbai and Pune ….the Bhor Ghat section from Karjat to Lonavala is amazing scenery through western ghats . With 2 Banker locomotive behind to push the train UP . The gradients is 1:7 and it's main broadguage line

      Interesting train journey. But one cannot help but notice the large amounts of garbage on the ground
      when passing through urban areas. And that small "river" … perhaps another name for 'open sewer"?

      I enjoyed this presentation greatly. Although I've watched many others on this remarkable railway, this is the first time I got an appreciation of the pieces of the line and how they fit together. Steam though is a huge attraction, and on my bucket list is an item line to ride with a B class hauling both ways.
      Thank you Nonstop, well done.

      Hi, Although I live in London now I am from Kolkata, biggest city in Eastern India. You rekindled my childhood memories when I used to go to Darjeeling along with Mom and Dad in summer holidays. We used to get free tickets as my Dad was an officer in Indian Railways. Loved your vlog and thanks for coming to Darjeeling. It is a UNESCO heritage site now .Will request to explore similar narrow gauge which we call ‘toy trains’ in India like Kalka-Shimla and Ooty-Mettupalayam Railways too.

      For all their fault, Brtishers did great engineering here. And I am glad we Indians maintained it quite well after all these years.

      I am glad you enjoyed making the video but in my opinion it was filthy and embarrassing. I am certain that the Indian people have travelled the world over and seen how well things are maintained to create a pleasant environment for them and tourist.

      This is on my bucket list too, along with the Golden Temple at Amritsar. I'm envious. Although I have been to both Bangladesh and Pakistan, including the Himalayan foothills above Islamabad – also stunning
