Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Raju Bhadke visited the station on April 22, 2026, to review the facilities and directed officials to keep all systems running smoothly for the public.
What are the new crowd management facilities at Vadodara Station?
To prevent overcrowding on platforms, the railway division created a 350 square meter holding area. This space allows passengers to wait comfortably before their train arrives. The area includes basic amenities such as seating arrangements, clean drinking water, and proper lighting to ensure passenger comfort.
How is the railway ensuring security and ticketing ease?
The station has deployed additional RPF personnel and ticket checking staff available 24/7. To reduce queues, extra booking counters were opened, and mobile ticketing services were introduced by ticket checkers. Security is being monitored through CCTV cameras, and RPF personnel are using walkie-talkies for better coordination.
