Temporary Restriction on Platform Ticket Sales at Major Central Railway Stations to Avoid Festive Rush

To manage the heavy rush and ensure smooth passenger movement during the forthcoming Diwali and Chhath Puja festivals, Central Railway has imposed temporary restrictions on the sale of Platform Tickets at select major stations. This measure aims to regulate crowding on platforms and ensure hassle-free movement within station premises.

The restriction on the sale of Platform Tickets will remain in effect from 16.10.2025 to 28.10.2025.

Stations where platform ticket sales are restricted:

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)

Dadar

Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT)

Thane

Kalyan

Panvel

Platform tickets will, however, be issued to senior citizens, ailing passengers, children, and lady passengers who require assistance, as per Railway Board guidelines.

Passengers are requested to plan their travel accordingly and cooperate with railway authorities to ensure a smooth and safe journey experience during the festive period.
