Mumbai Central (formerly Bombay Central, station code: MMCT) is a major railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway, situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra, in an area known by the same name. It serves as a major stop for both local and intercity trains, with separate platforms for either. It is also a terminal for several long-distance trains including the Mumbai Rajdhani Express.
It is one of the five major terminal stations in Mumbai, the others being Mumbai CSMT, Mumbai LTT, Bandra, and Dadar. Trains depart from the station, connecting various destinations mostly across states in the northern, western and north-western parts of India. The station was renamed from Bombay Central to Mumbai Central in 1997, following the change of Bombay to Mumbai. In October 2017, Western Railway announced that the station code would change from BCT to MMCT on 1 February 2018.
