The remaining sections like Panvel to CST
The remaining sections like Panvel to CST, Belapur to CST and Vadala Road to
Andheri will see them later, that is according to progress of the work.A senior
CR official on condition of anonymity said that this seems to be the biggest
challenge given the limited space in a traditionally space-deprived city such as
Mumbai, "There are seven places on which CR parks its current nine-coach trains,
these are located in and around stations such as Thane, Panvel, Sanpada, Vashi,
Mahim, Vadala Road and Belapur.
For example, four are to be completed at Vashi
in the coming two weeks, so we will start 12 coaches wholesale Travel Vacuum Bag services
from Vashi to CST or Panvel first,†said the official. Hence it is important
that these sites are equipped to handle the 12-coach trains once we finalise the
plan,†said the official.A lot of the services and their timings depend on these
parking spaces.
This lack of re-adjusted parking spaces is one of the main
reasons for not converting all Harbour line trains to 12-coaches at once but in
phases. The first phase will see services from a station which is equipped to
park 12-coach trains.The space for parking of a train plays a key role in making
trains available for service. In the morning we have designed the timetable
according to each station’s parking capacity or vice-a-versa and then remove the
trains one by one. Similarly, even if the other work related to the increase of
the number of coaches such as increasing the length of the platform and
importantly, getting the extra coaches needed is completed, the work will be
wasted if there is no parking space for these trains.. Even if we get the
coaches from Western Railway and the length of platforms are increased, but if
we cannot park all the trains, we cannot start the 12-coach services,†added the
official. "In the four hours when the suburban trains do not operate, these
trains are here.
The Central Railway (CR) has been gearing up to increase the
capacity of Harbour lines by converting into a 12-coach train from the current
nine-coach by May end; however, parking spots across the lin The Central Railway
(CR) has been gearing up to increase the capacity of Harbour lines by converting
into a 12-coach train from the current nine-coach by May end; however, parking
spots across the line still remain to be changed to accommodate the extra three
coaches
