Here Is The Mumbai Local train Map Which You Should Keep Handy

Should you plan to utilize the Mumbai local train system, consider keeping a convenient printout of the Mumbai local train map as a helpful reference.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

1.The Mumbai local rail network consists of three distinct lines, and these lines are part of two separate zones operated by Indian Railways. The Western Line is managed by Western Railway, while Central Railway oversees services on both the Central Line and the Harbour lines.

2.When you look at the train map, you'll notice numbers next to the station names. These numbers indicate the approximate distances, measured in kilometers, from the starting station of each line.

3.The Western Line, which originates from Churchgate in the heart of Mumbai's business district, runs along the city's western coast. This line spans approximately 124 kilometers to the north, ultimately reaching Dahanu Road, which is in the direction of Ahmedaba

4.Both the Central and Harbour lines commence their journeys at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus), situated just north of the Fort area in Mumbai.

5.The Central Line extends towards the northeast, passing through Thane before splitting into two corridors at Kalyan. One branch goes to Kasara (heading towards Nashik), and the other leads to Khopoli (towards Pune).

6.The Harbour Line diverges from the Central Line at Wadala Road and connects Andheri and Panvel, including a route through Navi Mumbai.

7.Key junctions include Dadar, where the Western and Central lines intersect, and Kurla, where the Harbour and Central lines meet. The Harbour Line also links with the Western Line at Mahim Junction.

8.You can seamlessly switch between different train lines without needing separate tickets. Tickets are sold based on your destination at the starting station. However, the Mumbai Metro train line from Andheri to Ghatkopar requires a separate ticket.

9.The Western and Central lines offer both Fast and Slow train services, while the Harbour Line exclusively operates Slow trains. Slow trains stop at all stations, while Fast trains primarily halt at major stations (marked in red on the map). Some semi-fast trains make additional stops.

Accessibility features on the Western Railway:
