Surat Railway Station is massively overburdened. It is the 13th most busiest station of the country with a total of 288 halting trains. These 288 halting trains are controlled by 3 platforms only, as the 4th platform controls the trains that terminate/originate from Surat. 288 trains for 3 platform gives 96 trains on each platform. This station badly needs a redevelopment or new platforms as soon as possible.
