Re: Train Arriving At Bombay Station 720p Torrent

This 50-second silent film shows the entry of a train pulled by a steam locomotive into the gare de La Ciotat, the train station of the French southern coastal town of La Ciotat, near Marseille. Like most of the early Lumière films, L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat consists of a single, unedited view illustrating an aspect of everyday life, a style of filmmaking known as actuality. There is no apparent intentional camera movement, and the film consists of one continuous real-time shot.
JICA officials visited Mumbai in January 2014 to discuss the details of the project, and made selective site visits to the proposed route. On 21 January, following several meetings between JICA and Indian Railways officials, it was proposed to originate the corridor at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. The proposed route would begin from BKC, go right up to Thane on the Central Line, and then take a diversion on the Trans-Harbour route which is on the Thane-Diva-Vasai-Virar stretch. The corridor would then switch over to the Western Line, before entering Gujarat and terminating at Ahmedabad.[16] 12 stations were proposed on the route, of which 8 would have been in Gujarat. The intention behind taking the route via Thane is to keep the option open to link the corridor to Pune. The team also proposed other options for originating the line at either Bandra Terminus or Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, if the BKC option was unfeasible.[15] Air-conditioned bullet trains are expected to operate in the corridor at speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph), enabling commuters to traverse the 534 km (332 mi) distance in two hours. Currently, the fastest train operating on this sector is the Ahmedabad Duronto Express, which takes 6 hours and 15 minutes to reach Mumbai Central from Ahmedabad running non-stop between these two cities at a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph).[15]
The project received conditional clearance to cut down 53,467 mangrove trees spread over an area of 13.36 hectares[28] from the expert appraisal committee (EAC) on Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) projects of the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests on 18 March 2019. The Ministry required the NHSRCL to obtain approval from the Bombay High Court and clearance from the Dahanu Taluka Environment Protection Authority. The NHSCRL is also required to conduct a study on the impact of the vibrations from the trains on the birds and mudflats in the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary.[29] The NHSRCL approached the Bombay High Court for approval on 8 April 2019.[30] The NHSRCL announced in June 2019 that it had altered the proposed design of Thane station which would save 21,000 mangrove trees. As a result, only 32,044 mangroves are affected by the project.[31]
Indian Railways proposes to operate two types of services on the corridor. A "Rapid Train" or express service with only two stops at Surat and Vadodara, and a slower service that stops at all stations. The "Rapid Train" would complete the journey in 2 hours and 7 minutes, while the slower service would take 2 hours and 58 minutes. In total, 70 daily services will be operated on the line, or 35 services in each direction with 3 services per hour during peak hours and 2 services per hour during off-peak hours. The Railways estimates that the high speed rail corridor will have a daily ridership of around 36,000 in 2023.[92] Trains will operate between 6.00AM and midnight.[93] Currently, a train journey from Mumbai to Ahmedabad takes 7 hours.[94]
The station is well-connected to a number of Indian cities. Some of the major routes include to the places of Vadodara Jn, H Nizamuddin, and New Delhi. There are 8 weekly trains connecting Vadodara Jn to Mumbai, 1 weekly trains connecting H Nizamuddin to Mumbai, and 7 weekly trains connecting New Delhi to Mumbai.Some of the popular trains traveling to Mumbai are Ahmadabad Pass(59439) to Ahmedabad operating 7 times a week, Saurashtra Mail(19005) to Veraval operating 7 times a week, and Goldentemple Ml(12903) to Amritsar operating 7 times a week. Traveling in one of these trains will be a memorable experience.
Mumbai: For almost 48 hours, long-distance trains on the Mumbai-Delhi rail corridor were thrown out of gear by the incessantly heavy rain and swelling of the Narmada river at two different stretches in Gujarat. Bridge Number 502, a vital bridge between Bharuch and Ankleshwar, and the rail tracks between Amargarh and Panchpipla stations on the Ratlam-Godhra section saw dangerously surging water levels, forcing Western Railway (WR) to cancel almost two dozen trains on Sunday night.
In 11301 train route maximum halt time for this train is 05:00 minutes at PUNE JN(PUNE). Train 11301 arrives at PUNE JN at 11:40 and departs at 11:45. So if you want to get down from the train and buy anything from the station or for little fresh air. It's safe to get down at this station.
Bus number 125 comes to TIFR directly from Mumbai Central; exit away fromthe suburban railway station for this bus. It is also possible to takea local train to Churchgate station. Then come out through the westernexit, get to the main road (Veer Nariman Road) and take bus number 137to "Navy Nagar" from the Churchgate side of the road. This ismuch faster than taking the 125 all the way.
If you arrive at Dadar central station, then cross over to the westernlocal station and take the train to Churchgate. At Churchgate takebus number 137 as explained above. From Dadar you can also take thecentral line to Mumbai CST and then buses 3, 6 Ltd, 11 Ltd or 125 asexplained above.
If you arrive at Bandra terminus, get to the western rail network,arrive at Churchgate and take 137 as explained above. If you arrive atthe Kurla terminus (Mumbai Lokmanya Tilak terminus), walk across to thelocal station, take the train to Mumbai CST and then buses 3, 6 Ltd,11 Ltd or 125 as explained above.
27th July 05 would always remain in my mind, as a memorable day for the many lessons it gave us. That day I was in office, enjoying the rains from behind the windows and cracking jokes on the same. I had already gone through two raining seasons in Mumbai and was confident of facing the rains. I joked that it seems to be like Day After Tomorrow, a film on global warming and its impact on USA. However suddenly this joke looked like becoming a reality. News started flowing in that the central line was closed; the western line also got closed. Suddenly the rains did not seem romantic any more. The roads in front of our office behind hotel centaur, near domestic airport were clogged with vehicles. People who had left office early started arriving back with the tales of a flooded Western Express way. Then reality was becoming apparent very fast. Tension was there in the air. I had just come out of the lift, when the power went off. The Day After Tomorrow scenario was coming in place. Then the mobile lines went off. Suddenly we were cut off from the world. No one was reachable. My friend who had got stuck up in Bayandar on a long distance train to Bombay was out of coverage on the roads. By then I was clear that this night was going to be a long one. We decided to spend the night in office and started looking out for food for the people caught up here. Running from one hotel to another managed to get food for 65 people. Meanwhile we could see hotels over flowing with foreigners and domestic passengers, whose flights had got cancelled. They were pleading for a room which in most acees was simply not available. With the ATM's cut people had no other option. Our colleagues were caught up in stations and in cars in middle of the roads, had to spend the night there without anything to eat or drink. Early next day at 5, we conducted a survey of the stretch of high way near us and found the traffic limping back. Then by 80 the movement started towards homes. I was guided by the volunteers on the road, on to sand truck which took us to kandivlli. The people irrespective of status were seated around me, with only one thought that of getting home as early as possible. On the way heard innumerable stories of courage of ordinary people who went to extraordinary length to help the people in danger..with food, tea, physical help.and in so may other ways. Seeing and hearing all this was an overwhelming realisation that humanity still survives and that the sprit of Bombay endures in the spirit of so many unknown people who cam forward as one to save life's and help other. Also it taught another important lesson that before God's nature all men are equal, the rich and the poor the mighty and the simple. It was visible all though out when simple people from slums came forward to help those stuck up in cars, buses and in station. These three days are indeed memorable for all these testimonies of courage and concern for fellow human beings. --Tony Joseph After confirmin that the trains were runnin i and my friend left from byculla and caught a thane local at 2:40pm. it was very crowded from dadar onwards. it reached vidyavihar at 3:15 pm and stopped. we waited for long, called our families they told us to wait. and then the lights went out. and it just wouldnt stop pouring. we managed to go and get 2 packs of chips( everythin else over) we sat and prayed. soon the evenin came and we could not do anythin. the level of water was steadily risin. the water level was just few inches below that of the platform. vidyavihar is a place where u cannot see anythin of the city, we could just see water flowin on all sides. it was like being stranded on an island. the entire time we were thinkin why vidyavihar, if it was any other stn we cld have gone to some1's house but why vidyavihar. but then on a more positive note we thought atleast we were on platform and not in between stns! the ladies we were sittin with gave other to sit. we all took turns for sittin whilst we would go out on the platform to get some fresh air. some of them refused to get up once they got seats! this was what we got in return for the kind deed we thought we were doin. anyway, we somehow managed to get through the night. in the mornin at 5 some of us decided to go but returned coz the water was just too high. at 6:15 am ( after 15 hrs in train) we walked on the tracks to ghatkopar stn. thr were so many ppl stranded and we were waitin and seeing if we could manage a lift. ultimately we got into a sumo goin to mulund. we were stuck in traffic jam on the ghatkopar bridge goin towards the highway for one and half hrs. we turned back and by LBS we reached mulund in 45 minutes. that uncle dint charge us anything! ppl along with us were goin to dombivili, so they hired a sumo and left, they dropped me at thane and my friend further at mumbra. i reached home at 11:30 pm on wednesday and my frnd at 1:30 pm. a throughly harrowing experience! but i have to thank all the ppl who helped each other and us in gettin home safely! --Mayura Naik I must appreciate the efforts taken by only MUMBAI CIVILIANS and not Police and Fire Dept in helping the stranded people reach their destinations. We must have seen many photos and many clips on new channels, we saw women, kids and even elderly people stranded. Did we see any photo or clip of Mumbai Police or Fire Dept? NO, because they were not to be seen only when there were real crisis. Was Mr Vilasrao Desmukh not responsible enough to deploy Mumbai Police at the right place and not in the unwanted security of MP's and MLA's who had no bigger threat than the local people from the rains. The PUBLIC has helped the PUBLIC and not the government. --Ritesh Shah Now that the watery woes of July 26 are behind us, it is time to look back and perhaps laugh it off. So I made up this song, which I am dedicating to all those Mumbaikars who left the safe cocoons of their office and bravely waded their way back home on that horrific evening.
