Maharashtra ( Except Mumbai territory ) has relatively low density of Railway network..& that's purely because of powerful Bus lobby ( Road Mafia)..
Mumbai( The Finance capital of India) is connected to all the states of southern India by all imp Pune-Solapur-Wadi section..
Have we ever wonder, why Railways never bothered to double/ triple & electrify this extremely important link of the nation..Its baffling to understand..
Most...
more... importantly, we have hardly heard any noise by local politician about this in the past..as most of them were beneficiary of Road mafia system..
Its only after 2014/15, this work has gathered some pace & should be over by 2020/21..
