Virar is a railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. Virar is a terminus station.
It is around one and a half hours away by train from Churchgate. Virar is a very crowded area, among other adjacent stations like Vasai Road because it is a major tourist spot of Mumbai. It used to be the only railway station connecting Mumbai to other northern stations like Saphale, Palghar, Dahanu and distant southern cities of Gujarat like Vapi, Surat etc. Since 2013 however, the Western Railway zone Suburban network has been extended up to Dahanu.
An outpost of Mumbai, Virar is connected with the mainland by electric train since 1925.
