Central Railway (CR) is planning to increase the length of platforms at all suburban stations beyond Thane so that they are able to receive 15-car local trains, according to an official.
This will create an additional carrying capacity of nearly 2.25 lakh daily commuters, easing congestion on one of the busiest suburban routes of CR, the official said.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of the next financial year, he said. Currently, only Dombivli and Kalyan stations have platforms capable of receiving 15-car locals, that too on the fast corridor. CR runs only 22 services with 15-car rakes because most stations beyond Thane lack the necessary infrastructure.
