A passengers` association in the city has demanded a two-minute halt at Kopar upper-level station, for long-distance passing trains, saying it would help people living in far-off places, beyond Kalyan. The stop can be used as an excellent passenger point for trains passing Mumbai and connecting north and south India, without entering the city, said the BJP-led Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh in a memorandum handed over to CR general manager on Thursday.
“Kopar station at the upper level is between Diva and Dombivli stations. The ground-level station is for suburban trains and the upper-level station is for passing trains from Delhi and further north to Goa and down south using Konkan Railway. The only major halts on the line at present are Vasai and Panvel. If a two-minute halt is given at Kopar, it would immensely help the passengers here,” stated Siddhesh Desai, general secretary of Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sangh, in the memorandum. “This would enable commuters staying at far-off places, beyond Kalyan, like Ambernath and Titwala, to connect with these trains in an easier and faster way,” he added.
