After congestion and safety issues were flagged by a one-of-its-kind audit on these pages, Western Railway’s multi-crore decongestion plan takes off with a new accessible booking office

The new booking office at Bandra station
Almost three years after studying the crowd movement pattern at Bandra railway station and working out a plan to streamline entry and exit, the Western Railway’s (WR) Rs 8-crore plan to decongest the station finally seems to be on track. The WR had planned to build multiple bridges and elevated decks to handle crowds, and shift the east booking office and widen the road on the east following a multi-part station audit series by mid-day in 2017.
The new escalators at the station will be made operational soon
