New Delhi Railway Station is bang in the middle of downtown New Delhi. Nizamuddin Railway Station is also in New Delhi (south part of the city) and about 9 km from the New Delhi Railway Station.

my ttrain to Jaisalmer leaves from the Delhi station. Where is this one?

The Delhi station is the "Old Delhi" Station which is at Old Delhi near Red Fort. PLease be specific if it is Old Delhi (Delhi) or New Delhi or if it is just nizamuddin. I guess you re talking about Old Delhi one.

Indian Railway says Delhi (DLI) for this station, not "Old Dehli" or "New Delhi" (NDLS). I tried looking for it on Google Earth. I found the New Delhi stationa and Nizamuddin, but not the Deli station. I'll look again, near the Red Fort. Thanks

Found it on Google Earth, across from the Old Mosque. It doesn't look to be too far from the New Delhi station, would you say 20-30 minutes by auto-rickshaw? Thanks wsminkapida for the clue.

Drew, you really should mention the departure time of the train, in this case it WILL make a difference, especially if it's a week day.

The Jaisalmer train departs at 17:45, rush hour time.

No idea about an auto, but if you can take the busy metro, it's only 2 stops (about 5 minutes) from New Delhi to Old Delhi, I can't remember the name of the station at Old Delhi though.

By the time you get into and out of the metro stations, it'll still take about 25-30 minutes from Paharganj to (Old) Delhi station, however, you won't have the pressure of praying the auto can get through the trafic.

Either way, you should still plan to be at (Old) Delhi station by 17:00.

So from new delhi to just "delhi" it takes about 1/2 hr? how abt from nizamuddin?

Sorry, I live in a small town, traffic is never a consideration, except for days we have a football game. I will have to keep traffic in mind when I get to New Delhi and other larges towns.

Chandi Chawk is the name of the metro station next to (Old) Delhi station I think, but I think it used to have a different name, maybe Delhi Main.

('Delhi Main' is yet another name for Delhi station)

Haylo

Don't worry, when you've seen it once, you'll never forget it!

Yes you are right, MapMyIndia shows a metro station called "Delhi Main Metro" very close to Chandni Chowk. Looking at the official Phase I & II Metro Map, I can now see that it's been renamed "Chandni Chowk Metro" which may be more or less confusing!

puchoo

about 30-40 minutes , the route you would take would be different..
