    Neral Railway station is a convenient and well-maintained transportation hub. The station's architecture has a charming old-world appeal, and the surrounding natural beauty adds to the overall experience. Trains run on time, making it reliable for commuters and tourists alike. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant journey. However, during peak hours, the station can get quite crowded, which may cause slight inconvenience. Nonetheless, Neral Railway station remains an essential gateway to explore the scenic Matheran hill station and serves as a commendable stop for travellers in the region.

    Local train railway station which connects to Matheran. Many families use this station. Lift and escalator are required. Taxi and bus available for matheran outside the station East. Taxi charge 100 rupees per person, while bus is Rs. 25 only. Check bus timing online karjat to matheran via neral. Toy train not running from neral to matheran. It runs from hill station of Aman lodge to matheran. Rs. 45 second class. 305 for first class. Toy train ticket is in demand for return journey, plan accordingly. Very limited seats available.

    1) The train station in Neral is tidy and well-kept. 2) It connects Matheran to the rest of the 3) world (Popular hill station). 4) From Neral station to CSMT and Khopoli, only slow trains run. 5) There are two platforms available. 6) On both platforms, there is a ticket counter.

    The station holds historical significance but requires immediate upgrades in basic amenities, particularly the restroom facilities. Nonetheless, it serves as a crucial junction linking Neral to Matheran Hill Station.

    I visited Neral Railway Station in August last year, while it was a convenient stop for accessing Matheran Hill Station, it was unfortunately very crowded. Additionally, there were not many trains stopping at the station, which made it a bit inconvenient.

  • 5/5 Vinay B. 10 months ago on Google
    This local railway station is very near to matheran, once you get down go towards the east side of the railway station, at walking distance you will find a toy train ticket counter. Most importantly, check the availability of this toy train before you plan. If toy trains are not available don't worry you get cabs out railway station East side, but have the bargaining power in you.

    Neral Station. A station situated on the Central Railway. It is possible to go to Matheran - a tourist spot in Maharashtra, one can go by meter rail or walk it out. Old construction of the station gives a grand look. Train frequency is not so good.

  • 5/5 Akshay P. 1 year ago on Google
    If Matheran is in your plan. This is where you will get down. Knowing the importance of this junction the railways or the local municipality have not done major work here. The entrance/exits are still the same during the British times, the streets are narrow and crowded. This junction has good footfalls during weekend holidays, vacations etc. This place needs beautification! If Matheran is in your plan. This is where you will get down.
