==History==
Grant Rd was the first Terminus of the BB&CI railway, when it began services from Bombay. The BB&CI's first train from Bombay to Ahmedabad, which first ran on 28 November 1864, too terminated at Grant Rd. The train would leave Grant Rd at 7:00 a.m. and would reach Ahmedabad at 5:30 p.m. the following day.<ref>https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/once-upon-a-time-wr-was-mocked-as-a-waste-of-money/</ref> A Suburban service was also started between Grant Rd and Bassein Rd (today's [[Vasai Road railway station]]), commencing on 1 November 1865. It was also a station on the first suburban service (started on 12 April 1867), though by then the terminus had been changed to the new Bombay Backbay station.
The station, in later times became a goods shed, and carriages and wagons were also stabled there.
