November 25, 2023The platform numbers at the Dadar station considered as one of the busiest in Mumbai, have been revised in order to reduce confusion among commuters.
What Happened To Dadar CR Existing Platform Number 2?
According to CR, it was decided to increase the width of Dadar station's platform number 1 to 10.5 metres from the existing 7 metres "to facilitate a better crowd management". The train services have been moved to Parel to facilitate widening of the platform number one at Dadar station.
AdvertisementHence the CR decided to shut down platform 2 at Dadar station from September 15 as the width of the platform was narrow resulting in congestion during peak hours due to excess crowding. This paves way to platform number 1 to be widened and that platform number 2 might be permanent closed.
