From Sunday morning, the direction of the platform for Churchgate-bound passengers has changed with the railways shifting one more line successfully to make way for the sixth line. Passengers going to board Churchgate slow local trains will now have Malad station on their left, instead of the right. Western Railway has commenced the work of laying the 6th line between Goregaon and Kandivli stations and mega blocks are being carried out to undertake work to cut and connect the existing lines.

“The platform nomenclature at Malad station has been updated to accommodate the new infrastructure changes. Platform no. 1 has been relocated to the right side for trains arriving from Churchgate and platform no. 2 has trains leaving for Churchgate. This change will now allow passengers to board trains in either direction from the same platform, improving convenience and efficiency,” a spokesperson said.
