Diva station, which is under consideration for double discharge platform, recently underwent a change in platform alignment for a fast train platform
Vidyavihar, Nahur and Diva stations are likely to get double discharge platforms, which allow commuters to board or alight a train from both sides, soon. The Central Railway said a plan to this effect is in proposal stage and added that the move will not only help increase passenger capacity at these stations but will also help decongest the stations around it.
“Three halt stations on Central Railway—Vidyavihar, Diva and Nahur—are getting an upgrade of a home platform, which means these three stations would be able to double the capacity of passenger intake. The plan is at a proposal stage and would move ahead to implementation stage in the next two years or so,” said a top CR official.
