Central Railway may run 15-coach local trains soon instead of 12-coach trains to ease traffic on certain routes. The Railway Board and the Ministry of Railways have given their approval to the Rs 1,000-crore project. It will be implemented under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project Phase 3A. The project will require an investment of Rs 49,524 crore.
The Central Railway has to submit a detailed proposal to convert all 12-coach local trains to 15 coach . The Railway division has reportedly already prepared a plan to run 15-coach locals as instructed by the Railway Board and the Ministry of Railways. Kirit Somaiya, BJP Member of Parliament, told DNA that he has received a letter on the Board’s decision from its chairman Ashwani Lohani.
“We have been pursuing the conversion of all trains to 15-coach since a decade. However, the Ministry of Railways was citing financial constraints. We need 15-coach trains, especially when annually at least one lakh new commuters are added in Mumbai.’’ He hoped that with its inclusion in MUTP phase 3A funds won’t be a problem," Mumbai Rail Pravasi Sanghatana founder Madhu Kotian was quoted as saying.
