Badlapur railway station
Badlapur railway station (station code: BUD) is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network.[3] It is built for the town of Badlapur. It is the station with the highest footfall between Kalyan and Karjat.[4]
Proposed Development
Due to heavy crowding and rapid housing development near Ambarnath and Badlapur, there has been increasing demand[4][5] to improve station facilities. A request has been made to grant Badlapur railway station with "terminus" status, extend platform lengths, and investigate the possibility of providing halts for express trains at Badlapur station post-extension.
A new study on the feasibility of starting a Badlapur-Pune Vande Bharat Express service has also been ordered by Ashwini Vaishnaw.[4]
Demonstrations
On August 20, 2024, hundreds of protestors blocked the tracks at Badlapur railway station to protest the sexual abuse of two nursery school girls, allegedly by a sweeper in the girl's washroom. Local train services were disrupted for over eight hours and some long-distance trains had to be diverted.[6]
