Summary:
In an attempt to disperse the overloaded Thane station, the railways are setting up an elevated Kalwa station that will exclusively cater to suburban trains from the trans-harbour Airoli line. The existing Kalwa station will move southwards with two separate station complexes for main line and trans-harbour line. "The plan is to decongest the existing Thane station. Currently there are six railway lines between Kalyan and Diva and Kurla Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and Thane. However, between Thane and Diva there are only four lines, which results in congestion and crossing of outstation trains..
