After the roaring hit of ‘Restaurant on Wheels’ at Mumbai and Nagpur railway stations, the Central Railway (CR) has appointed bidders to start similar facilities at four new locations – Akurdi, Chinchwad, Miraj and Baramati stations.
“Now, the newly-appointed bidders will commence the business in the next four to five months,” said Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar, who added that the tenders floated during the Covid period had yielded little response.
Earlier, the Railways converted old coaches into dining spaces to start ‘Restaurant on Wheels’ at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), and Nagpur station last October and February respectively, under the non-fare revenue scheme.
