Some commuters stated that a double discharge platform is needed at Dadar station owing to crowding there, which has sometimes proven fatal

Diva station, which is under consideration for double discharge platform, recently underwent a change in platform alignment for a fast train platform
Vidyavihar, Nahur and Diva stations are likely to get double discharge platforms, which allow commuters to board or alight a train from either side. A report in this paper said that, according to Central Railway, a plan to this effect is in the proposal stage. The move will decongest Ghatkopar and Kurla stations and will increase passenger intake.
Meanwhile, work on widening the existing rail overbridge (ROB) is ongoing at Nahur station. The station platform alignment at Diva has been changed recently to introduce a fast train platform. In addition, construction is on for an east-west ROB at the station, which was opened in 1877.
