Mumbai, the financial capital of India, is served by several major railway stations that act as gateways to the city. The two most prominent among them are Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) in South Mumbai and Mumbai Central (MMCT). Each station has its own unique history, architecture, and connectivity options for travellers.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, formerly known as Victoria Terminus (VT), is not just a railway station but a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an iconic symbol of Mumbai . Built in 1887 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, this architectural marvel was designed by Frederick William Stevens in the Victorian Gothic Revival style, blending it with traditional Mughal influences . It serves as the headquarters of the Central Railway .
The station is one of the busiest in India, handling over 1.2 million passengers daily through its 18 platforms . It serves as a major terminal for long-distance trains connecting Mumbai to various parts of India, as well as a key hub for the Mumbai Suburban Railway’s Central and Harbour lines . The station was renamed multiple times, finally being designated as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in 2017, adding the honorific ‘Maharaj’ . Its station code, however, remains CSTM .
CSMT is one of the five major terminal stations in Mumbai, along with Mumbai Central, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT), Bandra Terminus, and Dadar .
Mumbai Central (MMCT)
Mumbai Central (formerly Bombay Central) is another major railway station, located in the heart of South Mumbai . It was designed by British architect Claude Batley and built in 1930 to replace the old Colaba Terminus . Its name was inspired by the Grand Central Terminal in New York City .
The station has 9 platforms, with the eastern half serving long-distance trains and the western half serving suburban trains on the Western Line . It is the terminal for several prestigious long-distance trains, including the Mumbai Rajdhani Express, which departs for New Delhi . It is also the terminus for numerous trains connecting Mumbai to destinations in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and other parts of North and Western India . In 2018, a resolution was passed to change its station code to MMCT .
