The Maharashtra govt has begun acquiring land for the 233-km rail project which would bring down travel time between the two cities from the present 6-7...
Dont think 4 line are required 3 can be managed. 2 down line from Maula Ali to SC and 1 in reverse. As part of MMTS an extra line is laid from charlapalli. As SC station getting PF is difficult for Express trains separate MMTS line is required which can be used in morning rush hours. While trains leaving SC are given full signals they can easily get past Charlapalli.
Straight line distance between Pune & Nashik is just 165 kms, where as the road distance is 210 kms and the proposed new rail route shall be still higher at 233kms!!
