On the Western Railway line, local services will be operated on the fast line between Santacruz and Goregaon stations. Additionally, some locals from Borivali and Andheri will run on the harbor line up to Goregaon, as informed by the railway administration.

Local trains heading towards CSMT from Panvel on the Harbour line will be cancelled between 10:33 AM and 3:49 PM. Similarly, locals heading towards Belapur and Panvel from CSMT will also be cancelled between 9:45 AM and 3:12 PM. This will significantly impact passengers on the Harbour line.
