The Central Railway (CR) introduced electric multiple units (EMU) on the existing 63 km railway line between Pune Junction and Lonavala on 11 March 1978. The line had previously been serviced by regular trains. The EMU service reduced end-to-end travel time on the line from 2.5 hours to 1.5 hours.[1]
Nine-car trains were operated on the Pune Suburban Railway until March 2009, when they were replaced by 12-car services. CR also operates 13-car trains.[3]
