Central Railway Schedules Mega Block on Mumbai Local Trains Affecting Main and Harbour Lines
Central Railway will conduct a mega block on Mumbai's Main and Harbour lines on Sunday, affecting services between Matunga and Mulund and between Panvel and Vashi. The block, scheduled from late morning to mid-afternoon, will cause train cancellations, diversions, and delays, including on Trans-Harbour routes. Western Railway will not operate a block, providing some relief. Commuters are advised to plan accordingly due to expected disruptions during this maintenance work coinciding with the Diwali festival.
