Wadala Road (formerly Vuddalah Road, station code: VDLR/VD) is a railway station on the Harbour line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway. It was earlier called Gowari station.[1]
This station is infamous for deaths of people who are crossing the tracks. Previously, forty people were killed on the tracks here every year. After behavioral "nudges" were implemented, such as painting ties to help people judge the speed of oncoming trains, and adding pictures of men being run over, the number of deaths reduced to 10 each year.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
This station was opened in February 1914. It was then renamed to Gowari between 1914-17. The station was temporarily closed along with Koliwada (GTB Nagar station) on 22 November 1919, before being reopened on 1 April 1921. It was renamed to Wadala Road in April 1933.[3]
