From 2015, 12-car trains to run on harbour line

After three years, it might not be that difficult to board a Panvel train.

The union cabinet and its committees have given the green light to run 12-car trains on the harbour line from CST-Belapur-Panvel and Bandra-Andheri section and alsoinformed the railway ministry about it in early February.

This project, which has a March 2015-deadline, is expected to increase the carrying capacity of the harbour line by nearly 33%.
“This is the fourth project that has been cleared by the ministry of railways to clear the backlog of the harbour line,” said a senior official, who had accompanied the railway minister in Mumbai.

“The other three projects are extending the line from Panvel to Uran, a separate fast-train corridor with air-conditioned locals and a third line to decongest the existing harbour track to segregate goods lines. Work on all these has begun.”

The average rise in commuter traffic on the harbour line in the last five years has been 9%-10%, while the same is 3%-4% on the suburban central and western main lines.” the official said.

Considering the estimated rise in traffic in the next 20 years, it would not be possible to operate the required train services on the existing corridor, which requires two additional tracks. These additional tracks could be fast tracks leading to Navi Mumbai, and save at least 30 minutes of travel time up to Panvel.”

The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation has begun work on a study report on the practicalities of the implementation that will involve increasing the length of platforms and re-spacing signals and overhead equipment at the elevated stations of Cotton Green, Sandhurst Road and Dockyard Road at an approximate cost of Rs800 crore.

MCCIA is demanding to improve the suburban services of Pune - Chinchwad -Lonavla & upto Jejuri / Nira.

Look at how others cities are progressing on Suburban Trains on existing facility, Bangalore is way behind in urban Transport with patting our back ourselves for the BMTC services. METRO will be in reality in 2015, so till that time enjoy the pain of travelling in Bangalore.

No Mention of CRS for Bangalore.

Hi All,

In INDIA either the politicians should have will power to develop their state or the People should start doing strikes etc which may be illegal but still it will work. If we go in more professional ways by submitting letters over letters, it will not work.

Entire world knows that bangalore traffic is a big cheos. But our IR and the IR Ministry will not know the problem because it doe's not belong to their state and our politicians as usual busy in other activities.

The Central Railway today rolled out the 12-car rake suburban service on its Harbour Line route which falls between Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in Mumbai and Panvel in Raigad district.

The CR currently runs nearly 590 services daily on the Harbour Line by utilising 36 rakes each of nine cars. It also operates 14 services daily on the western line up to Andheri by using 14 rakes each of nine cars.

Commenting on the development, CR's Chief PRO Narendra Patil said, "Yes, ..

Even the simple thing like Raiwlay FOB and METRO FOB connecting issues are resolved in such smooth way, In Bangalore BMRCL and SWR fight each other as if other agency is harming India.

Shame on both BMRCL and SWR for making loss to country and making citizens to suffer.

So Railway Minister does every thing for Mumbai but talks in the air for Bangalore.

I am surprised why Bangalore MPs and GOK wants to invite him for all functions when he does not have courtesy for Bangalore.
