On a day's visit to Mumbai, ex-London Mayoral candidate, author, rail historian and Labour Party member, Christian Wolmar, was in awe of how the Metro III work at the Kalbadevi station was completed despite it being a congested and busy residential area.

Speaking to mid-day, Wolmar, who has written a book on London's east-west line – The Story of CrossRail – said that work of this scale was rarely done in such highly congested areas and he was extremely excited to see that it had been completed.
