Thane-Dombivli Railway Makeover: 15-Coach Locals Coming Soon to Ease Crowds

• Central Railway is expanding 12-coach local trains to 15-coach services from Dombivli and Kalyan stations to other railway stations.
• Mega blocks on Saturdays and Sundays have been used to widen platforms at Thane (1, 2, 3) and Dombivli (1A, 1, 2) stations.
• The work is in its final stages, and 15-coach locals are expected to be available for passenger service soon.
• The upgrade aims to manage the perpetually busy routes and reduce traffic congestion on highly crowded railway lines.
• This initiative also seeks to prevent passenger deaths caused by overcrowding on trains, following recent incidents.
