The Station Will Be A Part Of The Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor
The Surat-Bilimora Bullet Train route will be a part of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor. Work on the 508-kilometre long corridor was initially planned to be pulled off by 2023. But the project got delayed due to COVID-19 and land acquisition matters. The corridor will comprise stations at Bandra-Kurla Complex, Thane, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Sabarmati and other locations. As per previous reports, bullet trains might run on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route every 20 minutes during peak hours.
