The age-old speed restriction of 60 kmph on local and outstation trains between Bandra and Khar section on Western Railway has now been relaxed, and upgraded to 100 kmph in just 57 days, saving a total of 90 seconds travel time along the stretch.

Speaking to mid-day, Western Railway officials said that taking advantage of the lockdown period, with the aim of improving mobility, WR carried out massive work in the Bandra-Khar section and has successfully removed the Permanent Speed Restriction (PSR) in place.
