In a good news for commuters, the Central Railway (CR) has extended three local train services Parel railway station. The CR will also be implementing a revised timetable for its mainline local trains from Saturday.
Come December 14, Parel suburban terminus will receive three more trains taking the total to 38. Among the trains extended to Parel, two trains have been introduced during peak hours. One train each currently operating on Kalyan-Dadar, Titwala-Thane and Kalyan-Dadar routes have been extended to Parel.
A senior Central Railway official told the Hindustan Times, “There have been delays in local and outstation trains due to the over-stressed railway network. The change in timing will lead to a reduction of the clashes. It will improve the punctuality of the local trains.” However, the total number of services that CR runs each day remains at 858.
The details of the revised timetable are as follows:
