At Panvel, how does one get off the Express train and get a local train ticket. Do you have to go all the way outside and wait in the queue, but the ticket , come back in and then board the local? Any other way ( other than ticketless travel!)
The local train, you may get on the same platform little after Rajdhani leaves the Platform. There are not many platforms at Panvel. For Local Train, Panvel is the starting point so no more hassles. Locat train tickets are easily available just at the exit point of the Panvel Station. No big queue for ticket and plz do not stand in the queue at all bcoz for first class local train ticket, it is direct and no standing in the queue. Wish you happy journey.
Thanks for your helpful reply. When you state ' it is direct and no standing in queue'...do you mean to say that there is a separate window for First class tickets for the local? And there are few/ no people for this queue?
My initial question is directed at finding out - whether I have to come onto er to the Ticket Counter ( normally at the entrance of the station) , buy the ticket and then get onto the train...is there an alternate - such as ticket booth on the platform itself?

What I mean by direct and no standing in queue is that you can straight way go to any ticket counter for first class ticket.
The queue is only one which is for second class tickets. Ignore the queue and straight way go to any ticket counter and get first class ticket. If any person in the queue objects and tells you to come in the queue, just tell him that you want first class ticket. That's all. It is one minute job.

Just for your information, you will not get local train from the same platform at which you alight from Rajdhani at Panvel station. You have to take the foot over bridge and cross over to the local train starting platform. The ticket counter is located very close to the platform and as told by Mr. Kapadia you do not need to stand in a queue if you are purchasing a first class ticket.
