Title - CR should begin services from Karjat to CST via Panvel

It is high time for the Central Railway to start thinking about every node. There is a single track already laid from Karjat to Panvel which is currently used for only one outstation train and goods’ trains.

This track definitely can be used to at least begin a shuttle service. There are many people travelling to reach Panvel and then head towards CST. Why have adequate steps not been taken for people living between these stations, especially between Karjat and Panvel?

Many requests have been made till date and even an approval is taking shape but when, that is uncertain? People travelling on this route have to shell out approximately Rs60 to 70 per day on a return fare which is approximately more than Rs2,000 monthly.

There is an option to begin services on a single track line currently. There could be at least three services in the morning and three in the evening for the daily office going people. This will not only give them relief in relation to time management, but also save them the extra money they all spend while travelling, just to reach Panvel.

At the moment, Central Railway and Harbour Line is running several trains for other routes, but not on this route. If this train starts, it will definitely be a boon for the fast developing nodes, as there is a lot of construction work going on and this service will surely relieve passengers from their daily travelling. The station infrastructure is already in place, only a little maintenance is required.

It will be helpful for all those who are now compelled to travel for such a long time.

This is a humble request to the railway ministry to look into this option and help all those depending on this route.
