Nine-Hour Track Upgrade Block to Disrupt Pune Train Services on September 13
Central Railway will impose a nine-hour block at Pune Railway Station on September 13, 2026, from 8 am to 5 pm to upgrade tracks in the Pune Yard. This will suspend train movements on Platform 1 and main lines at the CSMT end, affecting local, DEMU, and express services. Several trains will be cancelled, while others will terminate or originate from alternative stations. The upgrade involves replacing existing tracks with higher-capacity 60 kg rails to improve infrastructure.
