| Summary |
Behind the scenes of this congested railway system is a station unseen by commuters. Robert visits a city-sized repair facility. Train driving is a prestigious job in India with a salary around seven times the national average. It takes around 12 years of training to qualify as a passenger train driver. Anita heads onto the roads of Mumbai to see if commuting by road is easier than rail. With an average speed of just 9 kilometres per hour, she discovers that progress is slow and hazardous by car. John visits two rural stations that still operate historical systems for train control and discovers how a silver ball can keep passengers safe |
