Badlapur railway station (station code: BUD) is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It is built for the town of Badlapur. It is the station with the highest footfall between Kalyan and Karjat.
Proposed Development Due to heavy crowding and rapid housing development near Ambarnath and Badlapur, there has been increasing demand to improve station facilities. A request has been made to grant Badlapur railway station with "terminus" status, extend platform lengths, and investigate the possibility of providing halts for express trains at Badlapur station post-extension.
A new study on the feasibility of starting a Badlapur-Pune Vande Bharat Express service has also been ordered by Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Demonstrations On August 20, 2024, hundreds of protestors blocked the tracks at Badlapur railway station to protest the sexual abuse of two nursery school girls, allegedly by a sweeper in the girl's washroom. Local train services were disrupted for over eight hours and some long-distance trains had to be diverted.
