Pros: Near to Mumbai Central All train stoppage here Locals are frequent If you are in Pune, best place to get ticket for North going trains Cons: Over crowded No lift and escalator Over bridges and conjusted Less sitting benches Less food options Poor management Water facilities are very less Toilets are also not good in number

The junction is OK. The advantage is it connects to much smaller places and cities. Even there are people from Navi Mumbai who prefer to catch outstation trains from here. Be aware of pickpocketing here. Also if you are traveling from outstation and not familiar with local crowd avoid talking to auto drivers or taxi drivers. They will charge more than OLA and UBER.
