Arrival in Ella by train

It feels like being in an airplane after landing, taxiing to the gate. But I am sitting in a train

On arrival, even before the vehicle comes to a stop, people immediately get up from their seats, only to stand 10 minutes or more in the aisle waiting til the queue finally starts to move.
It has just started to rain, still, everyone wants to be first on the platform.
We wait until the herd is out. After a lot of pushing and shuffling finally most passengers left the Train.
As we want to leave the train we look outside, nothing moves, everyone stands in the pouring rain, waiting for the mass to move forward.
The platform is roofed only for a short length, namely by the ticket house, so only a few people find cover. In order to stay dry, we walk through the now almost empty train and get off at the covered part of the platform.
The jam is caused by one narrow exit where everyone has to go through when leaving the Station.
In addition, there are probably not enough means of transport available outside.
Meaning of this post, patience and perseverance often lead to the goal more easily.
