Bhiwandi is a railway station on the Vasai Road - Diva - Panvel route of the Central Line, of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network.

The Bhiwandi station lies on the Vasai-Diva corridor, between the Western line and Central line. An EMU service runs from Diwa to Vasai. Many mail trains make a stop here including trivandrum rajdhani. Recently computerised reservation service was installed at this station, before which people had to go to Kalyan to get tickets.

There is a necessity for a suburban rail line for Bhiwandi. The Metro Rail Corporation plans to connect the Thane-Kalyan line through Bhiwandi.[1]
