MailguardSG25~ 24054 blog postsWhat is the benefit of terminating few trains at Dadar instead of CSMT? Especially this train is often terminated at Dadar in the morning but taken to Wadi Bunder & in evening departs from CSMT itself. What is the benefit? Any CR specialist pls reply .
Early termination is likely due to late arrivals which makes access to empty platforms unlikely, adding to further delays in getting rake to the yard and prepping it for return. For example, if the rake were to continue, it would take another 20 minutes to get there, possibly have to wait 10-15 minutes before a platform becomes available, then 15-20 minutes to take the rake back to yard (another 10 minutes or so). This adds almost an hour before the rake is in the yard which could affect return departure.
Ultimately the train needs to be taken to wadi bunder yard because in the night it will start from csmt only. Terminating at Dadar means terminating in the dead end line from there going towards wadi bunder means the train needs to be shunted back through the main line and ultimately it has to cover the distance from Dadar to wadi bunder. Not a single advantage. Pls any CR fan reply
Any CR railfan with all working knowledge of Mumbai pitlines & coaching depot kindly submit compliance
