The Western Railway (WR) has surely understood that time is precious, especially in a city like Mumbai. Keeping this in mind the authorities have prepared a proposal for increasing the speed of Bombardier trains from 70 to 90 km/hour on the slow corridor between Churchgate and Borivli.

The proposal has already been sent to the commissioner of railway safety for approval, and if it gets the nod, the travel time on the route would go down by a few minutes. At present, it takes an hour and seven minutes to travel in a slow train on the Churchgate-Borivli line. If the proposal gets approved, then the travel time would come down to an hour.
