Finally - Godan is given fond farewell. Notice the rails cut off. These were the original alignment branching out from the old 3rd 4th lines to LTT. (Nikhil Karunakaran)

Thanks for the update, Vijay! This is exciting news - lots of parallel action in the LTT-Thane section. Hopefully, on my HWH-CSTM Duronto trip on Aug. 24-25, I will get to experience some thrilling parallel action in this section.

And as of today-April-22,2011, YArd linking of VVH freight yard with 5th 6th lines are also complete and OHE linking is in progress. Tonight and tommorow night, we have megablocks at Vidyavihar for this linking. And perhaps, from Sunday, freighters will also start using the new lines till Thane. Rest all trains from / To DR and CSTM are still on 3rd 4th lines, and wont be diverted into new lines. So the bonus is - You get to see wonderful overtakes, between 2 expresses, and also between 2 EMUs, 1 Exp on all 3 lines headed to either direction. Especially the stretch from Kanjurmarg till Mulund is good stretch to see the trains zipping till 80/85 on new lines, as these new lines have been opened up right at 90kmph MPS.

Does this mean that all LTT trains will be using the 5th and 6th lines between Thane and LTT? Or will some of them actually use the 3rd/4th lines for a short while in the Thane-LTT section? How about trains from Dadar/CSTM - will they be employing the 5th/6th lines - especially during rush hours to free up tracks for the fast locals?
