It is boom time for Matheran as there will be more rail services to the hill station, while the toy train could also be upgraded from six cars to eight cars. These are plans Central Railway has for Mumbai’s favourite weekend getaway, even as it reconstructs the entire 20-km stretch, a report stated in this paper.

The Central Railway is working on various parameters to upgrade the existing Aman Lodge-Matheran narrow gauge train service. Work is on, and once the goals are achieved, Matheran station would also come on the Passenger Reservation System map, and one could book online tickets for the mini train.
