Mumbai: Safety lights to blink on 134 locals on Central Railway

After test runs, simple mechanism - where a light glows to warn commuters that a train is leaving and illuminates the platform - is ready to be installed

The bulb is fixed atop the compartment on the outside
Reviving its year-old experiment of installing safety light indicators above train doors, Central Railway (CR) will have them on all its rakes soon. The feature includes a blue light that switches on just before the train is about to leave the platform. A ray of light falls on the platform and creates a danger line warning commuters not to step beyond it. A year on, it looks like CR has once again started working on the safety light indicators, which were last tested in January 2019.
The CR had conducted a trial run on the CSMT-Kalyan route to test the feature, which not only impressed commuters but Railway Minister, Piyush Goyal as well.
