Thane commuters will soon enjoy faster Konkan connectivity with the launch of a direct daily Express service between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Sawantwadi Road.

The train, running under numbers 15087 and 15088, will depart CSMT at 12:20 PM, promising a seamless journey to Thane residents.
The 510-kilometer route features 22 stops, including key hubs like Dadar, Thane, Panvel, and Sawantwadi Road. The new service is a fulfillment of a long-standing demand, supported by local representatives such as Thane MP Naresh Mhaske and Kalyan MP Dr. Shrikant Shinde. It marks a significant boost to regional travel, commerce, and tourism, particularly during the Ganeshotsav festival.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw approved the service under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative.
