Byculla, one of the oldest railway stations on India’s oldest railway lines, is set to regain its old glory. The stone building has been taken back to its nineteenth century look and its cast iron railings and pillars now have their original appeal. There are plans to rededicate the station to the city on January 26.

The nearly 130-year-old station building is one of the five Grade One listed railway stations in Mumbai other than Reay Road, Bandra, CSMT and Churchgate. Of them, CSMT is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Churchgate is on UNESCO's tentative list.
