Goregaon (formerly Goregaumn, station code: GMN) is a railway station on the Western line and Harbour line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It serves the suburb of Goregaon. As a general rule, Virar-bound fast trains skip Goregaon, while Borivali-bound fast trains halt here (although there are exceptions) but being in middle between Andheri and Borivali ; it hosts as an important halt for termination and origination of Churchgate and Mumbai CSMT/ Panvel bound services with access to various areas of Dindoshi, Oshiwara, Film City and outlining areas from Malad and Jogeshwari.
What...
more... distinguishes Goregaon from Jogeshwari is the four Churchgate-bound fast 'Goregaon Locals' which depart (from platform number 7) at an interval of approximately 30 minutes during the morning rush-hour and Goregaon consists of numerous Churchgate-bound slow "Goregaon locals" throughout the day which originate and terminate at Goregaon. Although, Goregaon has not been granted a permanent halt for all fast bound locals as compared to Andheri and Borivali, this station is an important hub for a large number of Western and Harbour line locals which terminate and originate from there.[1] Harbour line which previously ran from Mumbai CSMT till Andheri was extended till Goregaon and services commenced on March 29, 2018. It is supposed to be extended to Borivali in near future.
The station currently has five foot-over-bridges (FOBs) and 7 platforms. This station has an additional loop line which serves as Platform 7 as it is useful not only during morning hours for Goregaon-Churchgate bound fast locals during peak hours but also as an extra line during emergency conditions for trains.The outer rail tracks of this station has diversion points for changing of tracks for trains which are the only diversion points present between Andheri railway station and Borivali railway station and extra loop rail tracks for out of service local trains to halt sideways when they are not operational. The upper deck of the station serves as a facility for ticket counters and ATVMs. The southernmost FOB serves passengers exiting the station on the western side and newly constructed eastern side. The middle FOB is connected on the western side to a skywalk that leads to Swami Vivekanand Road. Auto-rickshaw services are available on the main entrances or exits on both the sides of the station.

please wait...Translate to EnglishGoregaon used to be called Goregaumn and its code is GMN. It is a train station in Mumbai, India, on the Western and Harbour lines of the suburban railway network. Goregaon serves a suburb with the same name. If headed towards Virar, fast trains usually don't stop here, but Borivali-bound fast trains do. Despite that, Goregaon is an essential stop for trains heading towards Churchgate or Mumbai CSMT/Panvel that go through Dindoshi, Oshiwara, Film City. Jogeshwari is different than Goregaon because Goregaon has four fast trains that go towards Churchgate called 'Goregaon Locals'. They depart every 30 minutes in the morning rush-hour. Throughout the day, the station also has many "Goregaon locals" that go towards Churchgate at a slower pace. All fast bound trains don't always stop at Goregaon yet.
