Residents between Borivali and Virar who were downcast on hearing that only passenger trains will be plied on the new tracks between the two stations, now have reasons to cheer. The Western Railway plans to run more than 15 trains on the sector this month itself. In fact, even the inaugural date that was fixed as July 7 is likely to be shifted. Says Bhagwat Dahisarkar, Senior PRO, Western Railway, “We have to wait for the report from the CRS (commissioner for railway safety) that is currently inspecting the route.”

15 more trains on new tracks. Will this make any difference ?
I think it will definitely make a difference on the short term, It will make the commute more bearable !!
Good news for Borivali to Virar peoples. But passengers from Borivali has to catch the train from Platform no 2,3,7,8.
No problem about 2 & 3, but 7 is away from station and 8 almost half way to Kandivali.
Yes it's really very irritating when train comes on platform no. 7 and 8. It feels like we have got down at Charkop, which is located between Borivali & Kandivali :(
Hey What about Central line People?
First let the Central railway come on line then think about development.
hahaha. Vinesh u r right. That's why some people call it MaReMaay(Madhya Railway)
May be central railway do not need additional track. They can actually work on improving efficiency and frequency of trains apart from reliability of service; normally and specially in rains.
hey guys just think about the peak times, what will be the situation just imagine..... as vinesh said both 7 & 8 platform are very far, in this way railway authority encouraging peoples to do the railway track crossing to save time. no one want to waste the time yaar.., no one thought about the people of borivali......, more railway track crossing more accidents....
I appreciate your point of view and hope you will appreciate mine. Platforms 7 and 8 are closer for me and for people living between borivali and kandivali (west) You win some, You lose some :-)
Agreed, more track means longer route for people who wants cross tracks, this means more risk in getting killed by train.
On the lighter side, it will also be difficult for psychic people who wants make suicide, more tracks means more options to select track, so more confusion to decide.
hahahahaha very funny saurabh!!!
