You have to take the local train from CST at 1.15 or 1.19 or 1.30pm to arrive at Panvel at 3 pm.

Thanks Kanchan ma’am! I’m running in Tata marathon on the 21 January and would get free around 2:00pm. Staying 3 kilometers from the Gateway. My return train is on the 22nd at 4:00pm from Panvel. You have offered me enough information and I think I’m going to arrange things on my own. In case I need your help, I’ll call you from ground zero! Austin sir your message is helpful and I’ll use my feet to feel the tactile markings.
