With a view to turning the Dadar stations of Central Railway and Western Railway into a single, streamlined unit to avoid confusion, the authorities in the city are contemplating having common and continuous platform numbering, starting from WR’s platform 1 in the west and ending at CR’s platform 8 in the extreme east.

WR has seven platforms starting from the west while CR has eight. “The idea is to make the numbering continuous from 1 to 15 so that newcomers and those confused about the platforms of both railways have clarity,” a rail official said.
