Currently, Dadar station comprises a total of 15 platforms, with seven belonging to the Western Railway (WR) and eight to the Central Railway (CR). However, both sections have platform numbers that start from one, leading to frequent confusion, especially among outstation passengers. A senior CR official said that while the WR platforms will retain their current 1-7 numbers, the platforms under the CR jurisdiction will be renumbered and start from 8 and end at 15 for a clear distinction.A senior CR official said that while the WR platforms will retain their current 1-7 numbers, the platforms under the CR jurisdiction will be renumbered and start from 8 and end at 15 for a clear distinction.
