In addition to this, MEMUs from Roha to Diva and vice versa halts here. Also, Dadar–Ratnagiri Passenger and Diva–Sindhudurg Passenger also has a halt here. These trains are being utilized completely by the local people but still there is a long pending demand to start Local trains on this route both slow and fast services, for the convenience of the passengers. It'll also facilitate office-goers who goes to SoBo or Mumbai Suburbs on a regular basis.

There's a goods train's line bifurcating from main line and goes to a factory in Alibag.
