The rakes inside the depot
The arrival of three new Metro trains that are standing at the Mumbai Metro`s depot at Mandale in Mankhurd has raised hopes that a small section of the Yellow Line 2B in the eastern suburbs between Mankhurd and Diamond Garden in Chembur will be opened soon. This would be the first stretch of new Metro Lines to open in the eastern suburbs after nine years since the opening of Mumbai Metro Blue Line 1 between Ghatkopar and Versova.
The complete corridor of Yellow Line 2B is about 23.64 km, stretching from Mandale in Mankhurd and linking to the existing corridor of Line 2A at D N Nagar in Andheri, with 20 stations en route. The stretch that would first be ready is between Mandale and Diamond Garden, having five stations.
