With Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus' status as a world heritage site coming in the way of the extensive development work required to make it a world-class station, the planned fifth and sixth lines will now extend only to Parel
The tag of World Heritage site bestowed by UNESCO on the 124-year-old Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) building has come in the way of plans to add more lines to the suburban railway network. The Central Railway (CR) has decided to scrap its plans of adding fifth and sixth lines on the CST-Kurla route. The two new lines will now only extend from Kurla to Parel, stopping well short of CST.
