Mumbai MonoRail Ride


I am Back with one more trip report , This time its within Mumbai only , Its The mumbai Monorail 
It was commissioned in February 2014, Further, a fire in an empty monorail coach in November, 2017 had led to the network being shut till August 2018 And on 3rd march the entire route ( Phase :- 2 )  was Inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis . 


 I Udit Mehta with other Railfan  ( Himanshu , Sahil , saurabh , Sarthak , Shivam , Sandeep , Aryan , Harsh ) decided to travel in Monorail phase :- 2 with was just inaugurated By CM after many deadlines .


We reached Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk by 11:40, it was crowded by people who were eagerly waiting to travel in phase:-2, we all took token up to Chembur which cost us 40₹ per person!  We boarded 12:00 service from Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk. It was rake number 9 which was used for inauguration By CM of Maharashtra a day before; we all went towards the north end of the coach where you could easily see the driver view. We departed from Jacob Circle around 12:02





All excited taking videos & picture of the monorail! The curves along with some steady speed of 40/50! Unless and until we reached Wadala, we came to a stop, doors open few passengers deboard the train! And few boarded also! After 2 mins the door didn’t closed thought it may halt for more but 5 mins pass still door didn’t closed!

I saw my mobile clock and it was around 12:30 we were all asked to deboard the train! And on other end all the staffs was seeing what exactly happened, after we minute the in charge there told that the part of wire which was used for yesterday decoration was stuck!


And Rake number no 4 came Wadala station, and went towards Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk ,  Later the rake no 9  was removed from service and it went towards depot so that the part could be removed!


 Rake no 9 comes into service after Removal of the part
