Western Railway Uses Fifth Line to Bypass Delays Between Borivali and Kandivali
Western Railway has begun operating select local trains on the fifth line between Borivali and Andheri to bypass frequent signal-related halts between Borivali and Kandivali, known among commuters as 'Thambivali'. This measure, mainly during non-peak hours, aims to reduce delays of up to five minutes on the busy suburban corridor. The fifth and sixth lines, originally built to separate long-distance and suburban trains, are now being used to improve punctuality by diverting some local services away from the congested main lines.
