TODAY IS THE BIG DAY - TRACK LAYING STARTS
Yes, at 11pm today they lay the new tracks between Borivili and Virar!
The work will hopefully be completed by 6 am May 28 and there will be two new tracks between Borivili and Virar.
Congratulations to WR, authorities and staff, for this work !!
We trust completion may have positive repercussions for ordinary passengers, mail and freght alike !
Some say the megablocks could be avoided but at any rate it is important that this work should be well over before the monsoon.
[Sat 26th May: Yes, quadrupling is proceeding today Sat 26th May! WR say "This will be the last mega block on this sector and all train services are likely to resume at 6 am on Monday morning after 55 hours of work on the tracks. The entire quadrupling track work is costing Rs five crore and the deadline for completion of the project is June 30." Terrific ! Congrats again !]
[Sun 27th May: Still doing well - Mega block: 180 trains cancelled, but commuters don’t mind In fact, the railway authorities came in for praise for their meticulous planning as only 180 out of 1,042 trains were cancelled on Day 1].
[Mon 28 May: Megablock completed - Three Cheers !!!: the work on quadrupling the tracks will continue and would be completed by June 30 -- and lets hope the monsoon does not disturb completion]
