This station is also known as old Delhi railway station, it is a big railway station located near chandni chowk just adjacent to chandni chowk metro station. It has multiple platforms. Thousands of people travel from this station daily. It has a MacDonald in its premises, so if ever train gets late so you can have a good meal there. Transport vehicles for senior citizens is also provided here. In all its amongst the better railway stations of India.

Arrived here after traveling around the regions north of Delhi like Punjab and Uttarakhand. This is certainly one of the better stations in India. The place is quite clean by local standards and the cleaners do their job with electric cleaning machines which no doubt contributes to that. The station has ticket offices for reserved and unreserved trains, is pretty easy to navigate, has facilities for upper class passengers and has pretty good eating facilities.

The station is large but the approach roads are always crowded with all types of traffic. So give yourself sufficient time to reach.

What’s up with the lack of lifts or elevators to move from one platform to another. Some places there are escalators, others not. Signs would help. Lots of beggars, homeless and those annoying taxi touts. Not a good first impression of Delhi.

Dehli train station is quite large but the electronic boards stating your train and platform number; make it pretty easy to navigate.
It is very busy and crowded with no where to sit or rest whilst waiting. Despite this, give yourself ample time to navigate around and find your platform as some are a 10-15minute walk away.
Trains in India are known to be late but my experience at Dehli is that they are fairly well timed and only leave a few minutes late, if at all. Be early!
There are many kiosks in the station where you can buy drinks, tea and snacks.
Tips:
- If you miss your train or need help, go upstairs to the tourism room where they can assist you to rebook onto another train and many of them have reasonable spoken English.
- As in many public places in India, hygiene is not top of the list. Cary tissue, wet wipes and hand sanitizer if you can as there is very often no hand wash or toilet tissue 🚽

Went there to pick someone who was traveling from Guwahati. The train was 7 hours behind schedule and I had the chance to explore the place. The outer facet gives a view of the British era gone by. Bright and beautiful from outside but it gives an awful experience while we are in. Lakhs of footfalls, vendors, waiting passengers makes it the busiest station. However, the place is unhygienic and full of filths. The government should pull up its socks to properly attract tourists!

It is one of the crowded railway station in India. It can be easily reached by public transport. You need to get down at chandni chowk railway station to reach here. Beware of pickpocket or notorious people in this railway station.

The station is quite big by Indian standards with more than a dozen platforms. It obviously was built long back during the British colonial period. Unfortunately, the station refuses to get updated. It looks more like an exceptionally ill maintained archeological monument. The station being in the national capital has not attracted any care from the authorities. To be visited only if you need to travel from/to there.

My train, the 'Kalka Mail' was 90 minutes late departing at 2300 hours on a Saturday night so my impression of Old Delhi (Delhi Junction) railway station was somewhat affected by this.
It was fairly chilly waiting, as I chose not to go to the premium passenger (Rs. 10 per hour, peanuts) lounge as it was crowded and had only metal seating.
I was not as impressed by the range of takeaway food here as I had been at Howrah or Sealdah.
Toilets were also not well signed, but the number of passenger and freight trains Old Delhi handles daily is impressive.
