Surat – After being closed for 82 days due to redevelopment work under the Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) project, Platforms 2 and 3 at Surat Railway Station have reopened for passengers starting today. The platforms had been shut from January 10 to March 31 to facilitate the second phase of the station's redevelopment.
With the completion of this phase, the halt of 115 trains has now been reinstated at Surat, providing major relief to daily commuters. As per agency report, 97 express and superfast trains along with 18 MEMU trains will once again stop at Surat, significantly easing congestion at Udhna station, which had been witnessing a daily footfall of over 80,000 passengers.
