Bhandup railway station

A few fast trains stop at Bhandup station, mostly during the peak hours.

Bhandup's relationship with trains goes back to the very earliest times, for it was during a visit to Bhandup in 1843 that George Clark, Chief Engineer to the Bombay Government, first had the idea of linking Mumbai to Thane by railway.

[1] The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company ran its first train on 16 April 1853, with Bhandup apparently as one of the stations.

The first train of India which ran in Bombay, stopped at Bhandup for a water tank refill.
