The Trans-Harbour line is the link Harbour line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway connects between Navi Mumbai and Thane Operates by Central Railway.[1] Its Termini are Thane, Vashi and Panvel on the Thane–Vashi and Thane–Panvel Routes.

This line is also a double line and therefore doesn't have any fast trains on it. Starts from separate platforms lie at the far east in Thane runs parallel with Central Railway line with crossing over Thane creek till just before the Parsik Tunnel where the line turns downwards and runs till Kopar Khairane. At Turbhe, the line branches into two and both are runs parallel with Harbour line. The first line joins at Sanpada and terminates at Vashi. Whereas the second line joints at Juinagar and terminates at Panvel.

The stations on the Navi Mumbai side are well maintained and beautifully designed by CIDCO.

History

The line was freight-only from 1993 until 2004, when passenger service began.[2] It was formally inaugurated on 9 November 2004 by Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav.[3]

On 19 January 2013, the conversion was completed of all ten rakes on the Trans-Harbour line into 12-car trains.[4] As of May 2013, there are 210 services operating on the Trans-Harbour line, of which 128 are 12-car and 80 are 9-car services.[5][6]
