When it comes to Mumbai, it must be local trains. The Western Railway is set to rebuild Grant Road, Charni Road, Mahalaxmi and Dadar stations—all of which see significant footfall. Work is expected to begin before March next year, officials said, as reported in this paper.

Major changes include new station buildings, and there are extensive plans of revamping old ticket offices. Most of these offices will have newly made  linkages to all the platforms. The overall idea is an upgradation as it is needed, responding to changing crowd patterns and repairs. There is an understanding that access is all at these commuting hubs, so increasing linkages to platforms and across the station is important.
