Thane MP Rajan Vichare in a meeting with Central Railway officials has pushed for speeding up the process to start work on the proposed station at Kopri between Thane and Mulund. The project, which has been in talks since 2004, has not yet seen groundwork begin. Vichare in a meeting with CR Mumbai Divisional Manager Rajnish Goyal on Friday discussed the details and called for fast-tracking the project. 

The proposed suburban railway station is to come up on the west side of the rail lines at a cost of R119.31 crore, at the site of Thane Mental Hospital between Mulund and Thane.
