Thansit is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It comes under Lahe village of Shahapur taluka of Thane District in Maharashtra. Atgaon is the previous stop and Khardi is the next stop.[1]

Background

[edit]

Thansit railway station was the first cabin station[clarification needed] in Mumbai Division of Central Railway, and was originally used only for operational halt of trains due to longer distance between Atgaon and Khardi stations. The people demanded it be converted into an official station, to give benefits to nearby villages around the station. It was declared as an official railway station on 15 February 2018.[2]
