You could soon rest as cosy as a pea in a pod at Mumbai CSMT and Kurla Lokmanya Tilak Terminus. Keeping isolation in mind due to COVID-19, the Central Railway will be creating sleeping pods for waiting passengers at these stations.
"Going by the global travel patterns, isolated sleeping pods will be much in demand with passengers. These will prove to be very helpful in these days of social distancing," a senior railway official said.
A senior divisional official said the pods at Mumbai CSMT will be 131.61 sq metres in length and located at the existing linen room, on the ground floor of the parcel building, also besides the ladies waiting room; and at Kurla LTT they will be about 269.42 sq metres in size located above the Passenger Reservation System adjacent to the IRCTC Jan Aahar cafe.
