Trains not to halt at Chhayapuri

Vadodara: Starting Tuesday, passenger trains will not make a halt at Chhayapuri railway station. The Vadodara railway division has decided to temporarily withdraw stoppage of passenger train at the railway station as work for making two loop lines at the station will begin from Tuesday.
Three memu trains including two train running to Dahod and one running to Godhra and one parcel passenger train towards Kota make a stoppage at the railway station on daily basis.

Chhayapuri is being developed as a satellite railway station. With the financial assistance of the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited which is implementing the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project, the railway station is being developed at a cost of around Rs 40 crore.

Because of the high speed rail corridor being developed between Ahmedabad and Mumbai, the Vadodara railway station will get one less platform for regular train movement.

Once, Chhayapuri starts functioning as satellite station, around 6 to 7 trains coming from Delhi and Madhya Pradesh towards Ahmedabad, will not arrive at Vadodara railway station. Instead, they will get diverted to Chhayapuri station thereby reducing the load of trains at Vadodara station and save passengers time.
