A week after mid-day reported about Western Railway's (WR) goof-up in the platform signanges, which mentioned 'Gents First Class' at Andheri and Mahim railway stations, the authorities concerned have rectified it. Activists and railway passenger associations had pointed it out and said that as per the Class Code of Indian Railway regulations, there was no such compartment in trains as 'Gents First Class' on the Mumbai suburban railway section. Those who have a valid first class ticket and pass can use the first class compartments, irrespective of their gender. The wrong signages were spotted at Andheri and Mahim railway stations.
