History

The Ram Mandir Road station, the 37th station on the Western Line, was inaugurated on 22 December 2016, by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, after seemingly interminable stages of construction since 2008. Its first train, running from Churchgate to towards Borivli, arrived at 6 pm, while another bound for Churchgate pulled up at 6.10 pm.^{[citation needed]}

The distance between Jogeshwari and Goregaon stations was considered long enough, hence this station was created.^{[citation needed]}

The station has four platforms, two each for Western line slow trains and two for Harbour line section. Harbour line was extended to Goregaon on 29 March 2018.^[7]
