Kharghar Station, I've always been curious why there are two extra platforms at Kharghar, even though they're not being used. Did CR ever plan to expand this section? Who knows... for now, these two platforms look like they're just sitting there unused. (The train at 7pm is a slow one to Vadala)

Kharghar Station par main hamesha yeh sochta tha ki Kharghar mein do aur platforms kyun hain, waise ki woh abhi istemal mein nahi hain. Kya pata... shayad CR ke dimaag mein tha is section ko chaar guna karna? Abhi toh lag raha hai ki in do platforms ka koi istemal nahi ho raha hai. (train hai 7pm Vadala slow)

Yes, it is true that Kharghar Station has two additional platforms which are currently not in use. It is possible that these platforms were constructed keeping in mind the future plans of Central Railway to quadruple this section. However, the specific reasons for not using these platforms currently are unclear. It might be due to various factors such as timing, operational feasibility, or future development plans. As of now, these platforms do appear idle and unused. Thank you for sharing the train information as well, the 7pm Vada slow.
