Why Vasai Road's Station Code is Still BSR, Not VSR: Railways Explain Complex Reason

• Vasai Road station's code remains BSR (Bassein) despite the name change to Vasai in 1947, puzzling commuters.
• Changing a station code is a complex task, unlike updating a name board, as it affects the entire railway system.
• Vasai is a "mega junction" crucial for freight trains; a code error could disrupt national freight traffic.
• Terminal stations like Mumbai Central and CSMT are less risky for code changes as trains originate/terminate there.
• Elphinstone's code change was feasible because its new code (PBHD) was unused and it's a local stop, not a junction.
