Delhi Airport railway nearly ready

COMMONWEALTH GAMES visitors might be able to hop on the new Delhi Airport Metro Express after all, with trial running beginning last weekend.  The Games themselves commence on 3 October.  If all goes well commercial operations will begin by the end of September.  The Metro link starts from New Delhi Railway Station (NDRS) stopping at four stations — Shivaji Terminus, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi Aerocity and Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) — before reaching its destination at Dwarka sector 21.  For air travellers heading to IGI, airline and baggage check-in counters are being provided at the NDRS, Shivaji Terminus and Dhaula Kuan stations.  The fare has been kept at a maximum of Rs150 (€2.5) till IGI airport and an additional Rs30 (€0.5) to Dwarka, with a provision for monthly passes for airline staff and frequent fliers. www.delhiairport.com
