After a four-year delay, the Bombardier-class local train arrived on the Central Railway (CR), taking off with a ladies special from Kalyan to CST around 8.01 am, according to a report in this paper.

It was a train designed to puncture the Monday morning blues for the women. The train, which is manufactured by a Canada-based transportation company, offers more legroom, better ventilation, comfortable seats and brighter interiors. Impressed commuters cited certain advantages over local trains; sturdier door locks being one of them. A few disgruntled passengers complained that the design was not on par with the trains on Western Railway. On a happier note, CR is set to have more Bombardier trains on its routes very soon. There are several new trains planned for all routes in the near future.
