Two corridors (one local and the other through) on Western Railway run northwards from Churchgate terminus parallel to the west coast up to Dahanu Road (120 km).

These corridors are popularly referred to as 'Western Line' by the locals mainly because it is operated and owned by the Western Railways.

The prime stations on this route are Churchgate, Mumbai Central, Dadar, Bandra, Andheri, Borivali, Mira Road, Bhayander, Vasai and Virar. ).

Most of the railway stations on the Western line are three to four minutes apart.


Slow trains (marked by an ‘S’ on the platform indicator) halt at every station as compared to fast trains (marked by an ‘F’ on the platform indicator) that stop at the major stations.
