Goregaon (Marathi pronunciation: [ɡoːɾeɡaːʋ], formerly Goregaumn, station code: GMN) is a railway station on the Western line and Harbour line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It serves the suburb of Goregaon. As a general rule, Virar-bound fast trains skip Goregaon, while Borivali-bound fast trains halt here (although there are exceptions) but as it's located in between Andheri and Borivali, it works as an important halt for termination and origination of Churchgate and Mumbai CSMT/ Panvel bound services with access to Dindoshi, Oshiwara and Film City, as well as other areas such as Malad and Jogeshwari.
What distinguishes Goregaon from Jogeshwari is the four Churchgate-bound fast 'Goregaon locals' which depart (from platform number 7) at an interval of approximately 30 minutes during the morning rush-hour. In addition, there are a number of Churchgate-bound slow "Goregaon locals" throughout the day which originate and terminate at Goregaon. Although Goregaon has not been granted a permanent halt for all fast bound locals as compared to Andheri and Borivali, this station is an important hub for a large number of Western and Harbour line locals which terminate and originate from there.[1] The Harbour line which previously ran from Mumbai CSMT till Andheri was extended till Goregaon in March 2018 (the first service ran on March 29, 2018). The line is expected to be extended to Borivali in the coming years. [2]
