Jogeshwari railway station

Jogeshwari is a railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. Long distance trains and fast locals travelling beyond Borivali usually skip this station, and is a halt mainly for slow local trains.

A 103 crore makeover is planned for Andheri, Jogeshwari and Goregaon stations. The plan includes building a 1.1-m wide heavy duty escalators will be installed that will allow commuters to descend straight on the elevated deck and FOB linked to all platforms. Escalators will be installed at the stations, each of which will also get a new platform. The work is being carried out by the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project-II. The revamp exercise is being undertaken to facilitate the extension of Harbour line up to Goregaon and will entail major remodelling of these stations, including demolition of existing home platforms (home platforms are ones where commuters do not have to use the FOB to come out of or enter a platform ) as well as booking offices for the laying of tracks.

At Jogeshwari, there are two platforms which cater to north-bound slow services. The home platform at this station will be demolished. Due to lack of space, there will be no home platform at this station. A new island platform will be built for Harbour line trains.

The work is expected to be completed by March 2014.
