Pune Suburban Railway, also known as Pune Suburban Service or Pune Local Railway, is a suburban rail system connecting Pune to its suburbs and neighboring villages in Pune District, Maharashtra. It is operated by Central Railway (CR). Pune's suburban railway operates on two routes, i.e. from Pune Junction to Lonavla and from Pune Junction to Talegaon. There are 5 trains which operate on Pune Junction - Talegaon route while 18 trains operate on Pune Junction - Lonavla route.
The Pune-Lonavala section operated 9-car services till March 2009, when 12-car services were introduced. CR also operates 13 car trains.
Note:Stations in Bold are origin / terminating stations
This is a proposed route for many years. Just like Lonavla many people travel from Daund to Pune City for work. This route was proposed for the convenience of people of Daund and the villages on this route. However many years have passed since this proposal but this service does not operate even today. Instead of suburban trains four shuttle trains operate on this route between Pune and Daund and through trains like Pune-Manmad passenger, Pune-Nizamabad passenger and two shuttle trains between Pune to Solapur are useful for people on this route to access Pune City. From march 2017 three DEMU have started to operate to Daund from Pune and viz. Pune - Baramati DEMU also pass from this section. There is one passenger and one DEMU from Pune to Baramati and Pune - Baramati passenger. Two set of DEMU operate on Daund - Baramati Section.
