Mumbai-Goa Train Update: Are you planning a trip from Mumbai to Goa? You’ll need to reconsider your travel schedule for the next month if you want to board the Tejas Express or Jan Shatabdi Express. Both trains will temporarily stop at Dadar rather than Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) because to ongoing maintenance and platform modifications, according to News18.
Central Railway officials made this adjustment to facilitate the current construction at CSMT and guarantee more seamless operations when the upgrading is finished. In order to handle the increasing number of passengers at the station, the maintenance, which focuses on enlarging platforms 12 and 13, is essential.
Dadar will be the last destination for the Tejas Express (train number 22120) and Jan Shatabdi Express (train number 12051), which typically start and finish their trips at CSMT. The duration of this temporary change is February 28, 2025. Trains are then anticipated to resume their regular routes.
Travelers and frequent commuters who are used to a direct link to CSMT may find this shift to be quite inconvenient. To get to their ultimate destinations, those arriving in Mumbai will have to make alternative arrangements, such as using cabs, local trains, or other modes of transportation.
It is anticipated that Dadar station, which is already well-known for its heavy foot traffic, would see considerably greater congestion during this time. To minimize interruptions, train authorities have promised passengers that crowd control measures would be used.
Because of the increased foot traffic at Dadar, passengers are advised to double-check train timetables and be ready for any delays. The helpdesk and railway employees are ready to help with any issues.
The infrastructure repairs are required for long-term improvements in Mumbai’s railway network, even if the temporary relocation can provide short-term difficulties. In order to resume regular services as soon as possible, passengers are hopeful that the work will be finished quickly.
To prevent any shocks, passengers on the Tejas Express and Jan Shatabdi Express should make advance plans and factor in additional time for their trips.
