A Ride on the Delhi Metro Yellow Line

 

My last morning in Gurgaon and as I checked out of the Hotel to catch a cab for the Airport, I got a message that my flight had been cancelled. A frantic hour or so later, I managed to get a flight booked for 5:30pm. So to make the most of my day, I decided to indulge in some trainspotting. What better place to start than the M.G. Road Metro Station which was right in front of my hotel.

I decided to take the scenic route to the airport. A Metro ride to the New Delhi Railway Station.
