Pune-Delhi Train Travel to Get Faster: Daund Chord Line Platform Nears Completion

• Train journey time between Pune and Delhi will be reduced by up to half an hour.
• The second platform on the Daund Chord Line is almost ready, eliminating unnecessary train stoppages.
• Currently, trains face delays due to a single platform, requiring 'crossing' stops for trains from Manmad and towards North India.
• Thousands of passengers on Pune, Manmad, Delhi, and Howrah routes will directly benefit from smoother long-distance train operations.
• The Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) will inspect the new platform within 15 days for approval and commencement of operations.

Why It Matters: New Daund Chord Line platform will cut Pune-Delhi train travel time by up to 30 minutes.
