मुंबईकरों के लिए एक बड़ी खुशखबरी! Central Railway (CR) April 2026 से CSMT–Goregaon Harbour Line पर AC Local Train शुरू करने पर विचार कर रही है। यह सिर्फ एक नई Train Service नहीं होगी — यह Mumbai के इतिहास में पहली बार Central Railway और Western Railway को सीधे जोड़ने वाली AC Local Train होगी! रोज 3 से 5 लाख यात्रियों वाले इस Corridor पर अभी तक कोई AC Local नहीं थी। 26 January 2026 से CSMT–Panvel Route पर शुरू हुई 14 AC Services की सफलता के बाद यह अगला बड़ा कदम है।

AC Local Ticket Fares — Harbour Line 2026
| Route | AC Local Ticket | 1st Class (Non-AC) | 2nd Class (Non-AC) | Savings vs AC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panvel–Vashi | ₹70 | ₹65 | ₹15 | AC = 1st Class + ₹5 only |
| Panvel–CSMT | ₹110 | ₹100 | ₹20 | AC = 1st Class + ₹10 only |
| CSMT–Dadar | ~₹40–₹50 | ₹25 | ₹5 | -- |
| CSMT–Goregaon (Est.) | ~₹80–₹90 | ~₹70 | ~₹15 | Approx. — Official Fare TBA |
⚠️ Commuters की शिकायत: AC और 1st Class का Fare Gap बहुत कम है — Regular 2nd Class से बहुत ज्यादा। Reduction Demand है।
Challenges — इसीलिए Delay हो रहा है Approval
- 🔄 CR + WR Joint Approval: CSMT Harbour Line पर CR की Territory, Bandra के बाद WR की — दोनों का Agreement जरूरी
- 🚆 Rake Availability: New AC Rakes का इंतजार — CR को New Rakes चाहिए Dedicated Goregaon Service के लिए
- ⏰ Service Frequency: एक AC Rake सिर्फ 12–14 Trips/Day कर सकती है — 100+ Services वाले Route पर Limited Frequency
- 🔁 Non-AC Replacement: नई AC Services = कुछ Non-AC Services बंद — Regular Passengers नाराज होंगे
- 😤 Panvel Route की Complaint: AC Add हुई, Non-AC Cancel हुई — Peak Hours में Crowding बढ़ी
- 🥑 Vendor Controversy: Recently CR ने Harbour Line AC Trains में 50 Licensed Vendors दिए — Commuters ने विरोध किया
