In an unprecedented move, six more suburban railway stations catering to Mumbai local trains will be opened for the public at one go soon. These include five on the new extension of the Uran line and Dighe on the Thane-Vashi corridor. All six are in their final stages of completion.

The stations on the Uran line are Gavhanpada, Ranjanpada, Nhava-Sheva, Dronagiri and Uran itself. At present, Central Railway (CR) Mumbai has 80 stations and with this, the tally will go up to 86. And with Western Railway’s total tally of local train stations at 37, the total number of local train stations in Mumbai will now go up to 123.
