Elphinstone Railway Station

The collapse of the foot overbridge near Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus railway station is the latest accident that raises concerns over the city's stressed infrastructure. Soon after the Mumbai bridge collapse, which left 6 dead and 33 injured, a blame game erupted between Mumbai's civic body, the Brihanmumbai Corporation and the In...

The Western Railways on Wednesday renamed Elphinstone Road Station to Prabhadevi, on the Mumbai's suburban section. Doing away with the British era name, a notification said the new name will come to effect from the midnight of July 18.

In another case of changing the British era names, the Western Railway on Tuesday renamed Elphinstone Road Station to Prabhadevi on Mumbai's suburban section.

The Railway Claims Tribunal, Mumbai, today awarded compensation to 36 victims, which included 17 death and 19 injury cases, of the Elphinstone foot overbridge stampede, the railways said on Tuesday.

Elphinstone foot overbridge at the Western Railways and two other foot overbridges at the Central line - Ambivali and Currey Road - were thrown open to public today. The three foot overbidges have been built by the Indian Army.

It was the end of an illustrious legacy yesterday. Once, the Indian Railways used to manufacture war tanks, hand grenades, shells, etc, in its workshops. Yesterday's decision by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal turned the tradition around. The Army's help has been sought to finish railways' job - building three foot overbridges, one each at Elphinston...

A woman passenger was injured at suburban Elphinstone Road railway station today when part of a tile of a Foot Overbridge (FoB) fell on her on head while she was entering the premises, an official said.

Rain and rumours have been blamed for the stampede at a Mumbai railway bridge that killed 23 people last month. But railway officials who took 18 months to call for bids to build the new foot over-bridge at Elphinstone station may not be off the hook yet.

In a bid to prevent incidents like the Elphinstone station stampede that claimed 23 lives, the railway administration has undertaken a drive to evict illegal hawkers from the entry and exit points of the station as well as from the foot overbridges to ease commuter movement.

The deadly stampede that killed 23 people and left over 30 injured in Mumbai on Friday may have been triggered by the most unfortunate of mix-ups. A flower vendor's cry of "phool gir gaya (flowers have fallen)" being mistaken as "pul gir gaya (the bridge has fallen)" might have caused the panic on a bridge linking two suburban train stations, a sur...

Passenger safety will be top priority, Railways Minister Piyush Goyal declared on Saturday as he announced a series of measures a day after 23 people were killed in a stampede at a crowded station in Mumbai. After chairing a nine-hour-long high-level meeting, the minister said that he had empowered officials "to spend whatever is necessary on safet...

Visuals have emerged showing some people allegedly stealing ornaments from a victim of the stampede at a railway station here, prompting the Mumbai Police to launch a probe.

Targeted for Friday's stampede in Mumbai that killed 23, Railways Minister Piyush Goyal fought off the perception that the government didn't want to invest in safety of suburban commuters but found money for the bullet train. After spending nine hours at meetings, closeted with top bureaucrats, Mr Goyal gave officials powers to spend on safety-rela...

With 23 people dead in the stampede at the Elphinstone railway station in Mumbai, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray today warned that "not a single brick will be allowed to be placed for the bullet train in Mumbai" until the infrastructure of local railways was made better.

There was no pre-festival illumination of the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus or CSMT as railway employees joined the city in mourning the Elphinstone Road station tragedy by not celebrating Dussehra festival.
