When will we get our 7:47 am AC train back? As the Central Railway formally made announcements that they will soon start 10 more AC local train services, the AC train passenger community was curious to know if the railways would restore their favourite 7.47 am Dombivli train. They said it was convenient to everyone and got them to south Mumbai by 9 am. Most are upset as they claimed that CR was not paying attention to their demand.
CR on Monday announced 10 more AC EMU services, replacing existing non-AC ones. Central Railway General Manager Anil Kumar Lahoti said, “The response to AC services has been overwhelming with six times rise in passenger numbers. The total number of 1,810 suburban services on the Mumbai division will remain unchanged.” Officials said the break-up of 10 AC services includes 4 Thane-CSMT (2 UP + 2 Down), 4 Badlapur-CSMT (2 UP + 2 Down) and 2 Kalyan-CSMT (1 UP +1 Down).
