Navi Mumbai-CST direct rail link by January end

Comments(3) Sub Category:Civic Issues,Mumbai Posted On: Jan 17, 2013

Rail linkNow, it would not be difficult for commuters to travel from Navi Mumbai till CST as the Central Railway (CR) plans to introduce a direct rail link between CST and Vashi-Panvel via Thane.

Currently, due to the mega block between Mankhurd and Vashi/Nerul stations, travellers go to Thane and then change trains on the trans-harbour line for Vashi, CBD Belapur or Panvel. With the upcoming crossing from down fast track No 3 to down track No 5 near Thane station, it will be easy for the commuters to travel.

On return journey route, Panvel-Vashi to CST via Thane, a train will be introduced which will bring relief to thousands of passengers who are virtually cut off from Mumbai during mega blocks. With the new rail link in place, properties in Mumbai near to the rail line will have good demand.

From first week of February, commuters can expect to travel on the new route. Earlier, Central Railway (CR) introduced 34 new crossings and extended two 9-car sidings to 12-car sidings. Engineering work for the new link is completed, only commissioning is left with, which is likely to happen soon.
