Mumbai Megablock: Disruptions on Central and Harbour Railway Lines Today — Full Schedule Inside

Mumbai commuters, brace for delays and cancellations as Central Railway has announced a mega block today, Sunday, affecting key routes including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) to Vidyavihar and Kurla to Vashi. The block is expected to cause significant disruption to local train schedules, with multiple services either cancelled or delayed.

Western Railway: Major Disruption Overnight

Western Railway services were also hit earlier this weekend. In a planned operation to install a bridge girder between Mahim and Bandra stations, over 100 local trains were cancelled from Friday night through early Saturday morning.

The work, which began after 10:23 pm on Friday, led to slow trains on both up and down lines being diverted to the fast track between Mumbai Central and Santacruz. This diversion left several stations—Mahalaxmi, Lower Parel, Prabhadevi, Matunga Road, Mahim, and Khar Road—without service, severely inconveniencing passengers.

Regular halts at these stations resumed only after 8:30 am on Saturday. The schedule disruption caused widespread delays, especially for commuters travelling from Borivali, Andheri, and Virar, many of whom arrived late for work during the morning peak hours.
