पलपल इंडिया ब्यूरो, मुंबई. पूर्वोत्तर भारत की तरफ यात्रा करने वाले यात्रियों की सुविधा को ध्यान में रखते हुए पश्चिम रेलवे ने बांद्रा टर्मिनस-गोरखपुर के बीच 23 एवं 30 जून को दो अनारक्षित विशेष ट्रेन चलाने का निर्णय किया है. जिसके तहत गाड़ी  सं. 05062 बांद्रा टर्मिनस-गोरखपुर विशेष ट्रेन 23 एवं 30 जून, 2013 को बांद्रा टर्मिनस से 05.10 बजे प्रस्थान करेगी, जो अगले दिन 18.45 बजे गोरखपुर पहुंचेगी.
उधर से गाड़ी सं. 05061 गोरखपुर-बांद्रा टर्मिनस विशेष ट्रेन 21 एवं 28 जून, 2013 को गोरखपुर से 07.10 बजे प्रस्थान करेगी और अगले दिन 17.35 बजे बांद्रा टर्मिनस पहुंचेगी. इस गाड़ी को यात्रा के दौरान दोनों दिशाओं में बोरीवली, वापी, सूरत, भरूच, वडोदरा, गोधरा, दाहोद, रतलाम, नागदा, भवानी मंडी, रामगंज मंडी, कोटा, सवाईमाधोपुर, हिन्डौन सिटी, भरतपुर, अछनेरा, मथुरा जं., हाथरस सिटी, कासगंज, फार्रुखाबाद, कन्नौज, कानपुर सेंट्रल, लखनऊ जंक्शन, गोंडा, बस्ती एवं खलीलाबाद स्टेशनों पर हाल्ट दिया जाएगा.
इस समय मुम्बई से गोरखपुर की तरफ जाने के लिए भले ही उतनी भीड़ नहीं है, पर उधर से आने वाली गाडिय़ां पूरी तरह पैक आ रही हैं. आरक्षित डिब्बों की दशा अनारक्षित डिब्बों से भी बदतर हो गई है. जिसके मद्देनजर रेल प्रशासन ने यह निर्णय लिया है.

पलपल इंडिया ब्यूरो, मुंबई. मॉनसून को ध्यान में रखते हुए मध्य रेलवे ने नेरल से माथेरान के बीच चलने वाली टॉय ट्रेन को तत्काल प्रभाव से बंद करने का निर्णय किया है, जबकि माथेरान के प्रति मुम्बईकरों के  क्रेज को ध्यान में रखते हुए अमनलाज और माथेरान के बीच चलने वाली शटल सेवाएं जारी रहेंगी.
अमनलाज और माथेरान के बीच रोजाना 14 सेवाएं (अप एंड डाउन मिलाकर) चलाई जाएंगी. पहली गाड़ी अमनलाज से सुबह 9.30 बजे माथेरान के लिए प्रस्थान करेगी. माथेरान से 15.30 बजे अमनलाज के लिए अंतिम गाड़ी रवाना की जाएगी.
इसके पहले मानसून के दौरान (मध्य जून से मध्य अक्टूबर तक) नेरल और माथेरान के बीच ट्रेन सेवा पूरी तरह ठप रहती थी. जिससे रिमझिम फुहारों के बीच माथेरान की सैर का आनंद उठाने की चाह रखने वालों को असुविधा होती थी. लोग अमनलाज तक तो टैक्सी और बस से पहुंच जाते थे, पर आगे वाहनों के जाने का परमिशन न होने के कारण घोड़े या खच्चरों का सहारा लेना पड़ता था, जो बरसात के दौरान कभी-कभी काफी रिस्की (जोखिमभरा) साबित होता था. जिसे ध्यान में रखते हुए मध्य रेलवे के तत्कालीन महाप्रबंधक सुबोध जैन ने पिछले वर्ष बीच का रास्ता निकालते हुए अमनलाज और माथेरान के बीच मानसून के दौरान शटल शुरू की. जिसे इस वर्ष भी जारी रखा जाएगा.
