Mumbai set to get two world-class railway stations
25 February 2010: Mumbai is likely to get two two world-class suburban railway stations.
The Central Railway (CR) is working towards developing Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus as a world-class station. French consultant Arep Ville has been appointed at a fee of Rs11 crore for the process. As per CR administration, under the world-class category, a station will be provided facilities like elevators, computerised ticketing, proper ventilation, drinking water and sanitation amenities. The annual exercise has also boosted the hopes of commuters in the Thane region since 32 new locals will be launched on the Thane-Kasara route. A ladies’ special rake will be introduced on the Thane-Vashi route. The Union Ministry of Railways also intends to provide multi-functional complexes at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus on CR and Vasai Road on Western Railway.
