Buddy,u again check out....neither me nor the initial blogger asked/wished for any bct originating train....i am supporting for bvi halt of a bdts train....and u urself imagine this man....u r living in pune and u have to catch garib rath /yuva exp from bdts.....u have three bags....u alight at dadar central and go to dadar western...take a virar bound local....now as per u say alight at bandra....walk with ur heavy lauggage to outside station to auto stand....pay him 40-50 bucks....go to bdts and again walk till the pf....but if bvi halt is there,no need for the extra labour.... then u directly take the virar local till bvi...alight and straight go to pf 5/6....u say which is easier,cheaper and good for family people.....??

Sir, agree with ur points but my problem is the small halt of 2 mins is not sufficient to board the train with family and luggage when there are so many others also trying to rush inside.
For a person from pune it is not possible to board a train in such short duration. Hamarei idhar to emu pura ek min rukti hai where the number of passengers are less in comparison with Mumbai and mail/express to pura 10 mins rukti hai. M/e to shivajinagar chinchwad mein bhi sufficient time rukti hai

2 mins is quiet enough. All trains halt at BVI for 2 mins only and passengers get on and off without any trouble. And its a fact as I myself have done it and witnessed it on more than one occasions. Also before the train departs the Guard also waves his signal flag to the LP, now if either of them from either end of the train see that passengers are still boarding, they will not start the train.

....toh 5 min halt de skte hain....bt already aap dkh skte hain ki jo trains bvi rukti hain,unka halt sirf 2 min ka hi hai...chahe woh ak ho,gr ho,swaraj ho ya gujrat exp ho......buddy,2 min halt is working for these train then it would also work for a yuva exp.....and sir ji,shivajinagar pe lgta hai apne kisi evening lonavala bound local notice nhi hai....the crowd boarding the local in just 1min halt is none though less than mumbai suburban peak time crowd.......:-x

have been taking long distance trains from Borivali all my life with minimum to maximum luggage... never ever faced a problem of missing a train or luggage.. Any problem in this world is only big enough as you think in your mind
