History

Vidyavihar station opened up in 1961, after the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR) was renamed to Central Railway. It is located in the vicinity of the Somaiya Vidyavihar from which it derives its name. A nursery, railway hostel and staff quarters were built in the 1960s and 1970s, flanking the station on both sides. However, they were soon razed down to make way for new tracks.[1]
