A year after the Central Railway (CR) started the fifth and sixth lines on the Kurla-Thane stretch exclusively for long-distance trains, trespassers have found a new spot for crossing tracks and risking lives. The entrance of the two lines approaching the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) witnesses several passengers scurrying across it to avoid the congested terminus. CR sources claim that many passengers aboard long-distance trains arriving at LTT wait for the train to slow down right before entering the platform area and then hop down with their bag and baggage in tow.

DEATH IN THE FAST LANE: To save a few minutes, long-distance passengers including women and children get off the train with baggage and cross the tracks, when the trains slow down or halt before entering the platforms. Flie Pic
