Here’s some New Year cheer for railway commuters from Chembur, Govandi and Mankhurd. The Central Railway (CR) expects to run 12-coach trains on the Harbour line in the next six months. Work has already begun to extend the platforms at several stations including Vashi, Mankhurd and Chembur.
Says T Pai, commuter from Chembur, “It would be a great relief to all of us as the trains are really overcrowded in the morning and evening. We have been long writing to the railways to increase the services and the number of coaches in the trains. We hope that they should complete the work on schedule and not delay further.”
