Mumbai: Why Central Railways will not focus on CST anymore

<p>For the first time, the Central Railways' timetable will not focus on CST anymore, due to a steady shift in population to north Mumbai, according to the census</p>

For the first time, the Central Railway in Mumbai will move to a census-based time-table from October 2017, after studying the number of commuters and shift in offices based on the latest 2011 census. This will lead to more north-bound local services instead of a south centric focus. The Western Railway has recently implemented few similar suggestions.
