There's bad news for hundreds of residents of Thane who reside in far-off areas, and park their vehicles at the station everyday, before taking the train to work to Mumbai.

On Thursday, the contract with the Central Railways for three parking lots for two-wheelers at the station (for parking on both the East and West side, at Rs 30 per day) expired. Following this, the railways has now decided not to opt for any fresh contract. So riders will have to park their vehicles at their own risk. There was a huge ruckus at the station on Wednesday morning when police refused to allow riders to park their two-wheelers at the station.
