What may come as a major relief to the thousands of commuters, the Central Railway (CR) will be introducing 12-coach trains on the Harbour line from April 29.

The Harbour line is currently serviced by nine-coach trains that run a total of 590 services a day. Railways plans to replace these with 12-coach trains in the coming months.
