Central and Western Railways have jointly requested 100 new local train rakes from the railway ministry to replace ageing ...
Central Railway plans to shift long-distance trains from CSMT to LTT/Panvel, potentially adding 40,000-50,000 peak-hour commuters to local services.
Starting January 26, Central Railway will reintroduce AC local trains on the CSMT-Panvel Harbour Line, replacing 14 non-AC services.
CR has also proposed increasing train lengths from 16–20 coaches to 24 coaches to boost long-distance passenger capacity and offset inconvenience caused by terminal shifts.
