Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, Railway terminus in Kurla district, Mumbai, India
Lokmanya Tilak Terminus is a long-distance railway station in the Kurla area that operates seven platforms and serves multiple train categories, including express services connecting destinations across India. The station features a large concourse with automated teller machines, food outlets, and waiting areas available to travelers before departure.
The station opened in 1991 and initially carried a different name referring to its location in the district. In 1999, it was renamed to honor an Indian independence leader after the government approved the proposal.
The station bears the name of an independence leader and serves as a starting point for pilgrims heading to nearby shrines, including a temple and a dargah visited by worshippers from across the city. Travelers often see groups gathering here before continuing their journey to these religious sites.
The terminus offers access to buses and auto-rickshaws directly outside the entrance, allowing travelers to continue easily to other parts of the city. Waiting areas and automated machines are spread throughout the concourse to make long waits more comfortable.
A rainwater collection system installed in 2012 uses monsoon rainfall to store a large amount of water daily for station operations. This system helps secure water supply during the rainy season and conserve resources.
