In response to chronic overcrowding on Mumbai's local trains, the Central Railway is launching trials for a non-air-conditioned closed-door train. This new train, which features 1,003 seats and is designed to carry 5,600 commuters, will undergo testing starting this week on the Nerul-Uran corridor. Key enhancements include wider windows and a roof-mounted ventilation system that has nearly doubled its capacity, aimed at improving airflow. The train is equipped with automatic sliding doors that ensure safety by preventing movement unless the doors are securely closed. Additional features include luggage compartments and emergency communication units for passenger safety. Given the increasing ridership and the tragic accident in Mumbra last year, the success of this initiative could significantly alleviate overcrowding issues in Mumbai's suburban train network.
