The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) station, city’s largest rail terminus, is currently undergoing one of its biggest surgeries of extending existing platforms and that too without hampering traffic movement. Once the work is complete, the station will be able to accommodate longer outstation trains, increase carrying capacity, and lower passenger waiting lists.

The work involves dismantling existing railway lines, moving and shifting them and then undertaking the civic work of extending the platforms. One of the most challenging tasks is to keep outstation and local traffic moving without cancellations.
