The helpless Central Railway had to summon the city fire brigade after five school boys were trapped in the lift of Reay Road railway station after it was stuck this afternoon.

A senior official said at about 1.10pm at Reay Road station platform 2 at Wadala end, five school boys boarded in lift from the footbridge to come down. The lift started and suddenly the door slid and broke and the lift was stuck after travelling 2 mtrs down, trapping the boys in the lift.
