I watched a Amazon Prime Doco last night on The Worlds Busiest Train Station. Incredible!!
Mumbai has a fascinating history but it's definitely not a city I would care to visit.
 

I'll be there in February; I'll let you know what I think about it then. We're flying into Delhi and flying out of Mumbai.

I'll have to go see the train station, as I LOVE train stations. Probably a holdover from my childhood when I thought going to the train station was the cat's meow. I still don't think an airport can hold up against a train station for "excitement"......the announcements echoing off all the marble, the sound of the trains, the smells.

I share your memories of train stations. For me it was Penn Station in Newark New Jersey.
 
Yes, I have been there during my 2nd trip to Asia. I spent 2 months traveling in India from Nepal to Calcutta, to New Delhi, to Mumbai, Goa and down through the heat of the south to Sri Lanka. It was the trip of a life time. Many don't like India, I loved it: the trains, the temples, the beaches, the history, etc. What's not to like? Cows walking on the streets. Yes, it part of the atmosphere.

Yes I like India have been many times about 12 or 13 I think, loved everything about it like you, Mumbai was not my favourite city though, I preferred Rajasthan and the south...
 
Not Mumbai, but Calcutta and Madras, back in 1990. Two very different cities. I loved India, too.
