Where is Karjat Junction?
Karjat Junction (KJT) is in Karjat, Raigad district, Maharashtra. The station map identifies the Dahivali/Karjat Dahivali Road pin. It is the railway arrival point, not the destination for every resort or trekking route. Plan the full journey and confirm which exit your pickup will use.
Does your train stop at Karjat?
Verification note, September 30, 2026: the accessible Central Railway timetable page exposed older suburban documents, not a verified current express-halt table. Official NTES could not be queried reliably during this check. We therefore do not publish a yes/no boarding claim or exact departure time for the services below.
Deccan Queen: check 12123 and 12124 separately, with the direction and journey date. Mumbai–Pune Intercity: check 12127 and 12128 separately; "Intercity" alone does not identify a train. For 11012, 22150 or a query such as "LTT–Hubli via Belagavi", use the actual ticket’s train number and look for a permitted KJT passenger stop. Do not substitute a similarly named service.
A train may pass the station or make an operational halt without allowing passenger boarding. Confirm the scheduled passenger stop and ticket availability from your origin to KJT before relying on it. Temporary diversions and timetable revisions can change stops.
Which stations come before and after Karjat?
The Central Railway 2022 Main Line reference lists the suburban sequence Neral → Bhivpuri Road → Karjat → Palasdhari in the outward direction. Toward Mumbai, Bhivpuri Road is before Neral. Toward Khopoli, Palasdhari follows Karjat on that branch; express travel toward Pune follows the ghat route and should not be confused with the local stopping pattern.
Karjat-bound trains take the southeast branch from Kalyan; an Ulhasnagar/Badlapur-area query is a different question from a Kasara-bound route. For CSMT-to-Karjat intermediate stations or whether a fast local calls at Byculla, use that train’s published stop list. "Fast" does not mean every fast service has identical stops.
For Pune, look for a suitable through passenger service with a verified KJT stop. Do not assume a single Mumbai suburban local continues all the way from Karjat to Pune.
Crowding, journey length and station history
A Kurla-to-Karjat local can feel different depending on the departure, direction, class and day. A Saturday journey is not guaranteed to be quiet. Allow boarding time, avoid blocking doors and keep your return train options open. There is no live crowd measurement on this page, and the export alone cannot establish one.
Karjat–Pune travel time and the number of trains serving Karjat depend on which day and service you count. Check the selected timetable rather than using a fixed universal duration or daily total. The station construction/opening year has not been confirmed from a primary railway history record, so this guide does not attach an unverified year to it.
