New locals, terminuses, signalling system: Ashwini Vaishnaw’s sops for Mumbai
Mumbai: A day after the railway budget was presented as part of the union budget, railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday laid out a blueprint for Mumbai and its metropolitan region, saying at least 250 suburban local train services would be added on the central and western lines over the next five years, which would benefit around 75 lakh daily commuters. Though it has not been decided how the 250 services would be divided between CR and WR, the plan to add these services is based on future projects such as the quadrupling of railway tracks between Virar and Dahanu, additional lines between Mumbai Central and Borivali as well as Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, and the new Karjat-Panvel suburban corridor. New signalling system Vaishnaw said the Churchgate-Virar corridor, including the fast and slow lines, will be equipped with a communication-based train control, wherein signal devices are placed along rail tracks and trains and signals turn red, yellow or green based on the distance between two trains. New Terminals Mumbai will get four new rail terminuses catering to long-distance trains to ensure these trains don’t enter the city, Vaishnaw told reporters on Wednesday.
