The expectations have been more than fulfilled: to date, a total of 2.1 million people have visited the Science Express, which will, for the time being, roll into its last destination, New Delhi, on June 4th. To mark the occasion, the Indian government has extended an invitation to a celebratory event at "Safdarjung Station" in Delhi. Dr. Kurt Mehlhorn, Vice President of the Max Planck Society, will take part in the festivities in the name of the Society. During a 217 day period, the science train has covered a distance of more than 15,000 kilometres, visiting 57 Indian cities from Chennai to Kolkata and from Bangalore to Jammu, attracting a large audience that spans all age and professional groups.
