Goregaon (Marathi pronunciation: [ɡoːɾeɡaːʋ], formerly Goregaumn, station code: GMN) is a railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It serves the suburb of Goregaon.↵As a general rule, Virar-bound fast trains skip Goregaon, while Borivali-bound fast trains halt here (although there are exceptions).
What distinguishes Goregaon from Jogeshwari is the four Churchgate-bound fast 'Goregaon Locals' (which depart from platform number 7)at an interval of approximately 30 minutes during the morning rush-hour.[1] Harbour line which previously ran from Mumbai CSMT till Andheri was extended till Goregaon and services commenced on March 29, 2018. It is supposed to be extended to Borivali in near future.[2]
The station currently has three foot-over-bridges (FOBs). However the southernmost FOB serves passengers exiting the station on the western side only. The middle FOB is connected on the western side to a skywalk that leads to Swami Vivekanand Road. On either side of the station BEST has a bus station.

Upgrades[]
A ₹103 crore remodel for Andheri, Jogeshwari, and Goregaon stations was completed in 2014.[3] This remodelling included creation of additional two platforms on the west side of existing platform number 3 (then platform 1) to accommodate Harbour line trains. It also included building an elevated deck above the new platforms with ticketing facilities, and connections to central FOB and skywalk leading to both east and west sides of the station.
