The Central Railway is all set to shift an entire railway station a few metres north to accommodate a new track. The shift, planned for Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) Nagar station on the Harbour line of the Central Railway, would not just enhance its connectivity but also offer a new line, more foot over-bridges and entry-exit points.

The shift will alter the station's distance from its headquarters Mumbai CSMT, but that will not have much of an impact on the overall journey time and distance. A senior Central Railway official said that the station shift is being planned for the first time in recent years that an entire suburban station is being moved to avoid major alterations.
