Western Railway To Replace Century-Old Hydraulic Buffers At Churchgate, Mumbai Central Stations For Enhanced Safety
Western Railway has approved the replacement of decades-old hydraulic buffer stops at Churchgate and Mumbai Central stations with modern high-capacity systems. Four new buffer sets will be installed at dead-end platforms to safely absorb train impacts up to 15 kmph. The upgrade, based on RDSO standards, aims to improve passenger safety and protect trains and station infrastructure.
