Harbour line services bagged a bargain that will offer more space for less speed when the new 12-car rakes are introduced on the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) — Panvel route. The Central Railway has said this addition of three more cars, which would increase the carrying capacity of trains by 33 per cent, will delay the services.

With space being a long-standing demand on this route, CR has not completely ignored the speed factor as they plan to lift the 80 kmph speed ban
