This development is intended to eliminate the need for trains to travel till the end station - by allowing additional facility for the trains to park off the mainline on the siding line.įollowing this, at the Bhakti Park Metro station, initial plans were made to construct two portal piers at a height on a barge to support the pocket track. This is expected with the operations plan for the Metro Line-4 linked with other metro corridors of the network - namely Metro Line-11 between Wadala and CSMT, Metro Line-4A between Kasarvadavali and Gaimukh, and Metro Line-10 between Gaimukh and Shivaji Chowk, Mira Road. The MMRDA has been permitted to bear the additional cost needed for the construction of the siding line or pocket track, during a recently held meeting led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, reports Indian Express.Īccording to the authority, it has estimated over Rs 38.85 crore for the construction of this siding line.Ī pocket track is used to take a train off the main line so it can park and reverse direction without disrupting the services on the mainline.Įxplaining the need for the pocket track, the MMRDA said there would be a possibility of trains from Mogharpada depot running empty till CSMT during the morning hours. As part of the Metro Line-4, between Wadala and Kasarvadavali, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to construct a pocket track at Bhakti Park Station, in order to facilitate trains to park off the mainline.
