Major yard remodeling is required at Kurduwadi Junction. Word is stopped at Kurduwadi outer from both end due to low capacity of Platform 1 & 2. So we are building new platform aside of existing Platform 1 which will accommodate 24 coaches UP side train.
2. What is the tentative date of commissioning this sterch.
- By the end of year new platform will be ready, as of now we don't have any date.
3. What about Solapur - Gulbarga section.
- Gulbarga to Sawalagi and Kulali to Boroti is expected to commission soon.
4. When Siddheshwar & Udyan get Utkrisht coaches.
- Makeover of existing coaches to Utkrisht is in progress. We are converting 96 coaches (4 rakes) to Utkrisht.
5. Why it is taking so much time.
- As we are doing this on open line with limited space and limited manpower it is taking time. Instead of here, if CR done this conversion at Parel Workshop or any other workshop where all the facilities are available and employees are used too for such work then we could received our rakes till now.
6. Why Hutatma Express is not getting LHB coaches?
- Decision is still pending with CR HQ. They have to allocate coaches to SUR Div.
