Effective today, Wadala – Chembur (Phase 1) is open to public. The acceleration was superb, air conditioning was top class. I boarded the train from Bhakti Park station and got down at Chembur.
I did a nearly 10mins of uninterrupted coverage right from Bharat Petroleum station to Chembur. I am sure you all will like it.
