Mega Block in Mumbai: Check Train Schedules to Avoid Travel Hassles
Mumbaikars, brace yourselves for major travel disruptions today, as a mega block has been scheduled across all three suburban railway lines — Central, Harbour, and Western. Commuters are advised to check train schedules before stepping out, as local services on key routes will be temporarily suspended for maintenance and upgrade works.
Central Railway Mega Block
A mega block will be in effect on the up and down slow lines between Matunga and Mulund stations from 11:05 AM to 3:45 PM. As a result, several local services will be delayed or cancelled during this period, causing potential inconvenience to regular passengers.
Harbour Line Disruptions
Train services on the Panvel-CSMT route via the Harbour Line will be suspended from 9:45 AM to 5:12 PM. Additionally, a block will be imposed on both up and down lines between Panvel and Vashi (excluding the Port Line) from 11:05 AM to 4:05 PM. However, special local trains will operate between CSMT and Vashi to help ease the commuter load.
Trans Harbour Line Impact
On the Trans Harbour Line, local services between Panvel and Thane will remain cancelled from 11:02 AM to 3:53 PM. Commuters on this route are advised to seek alternative transport options or reschedule travel plans accordingly.
Western Railway Update
A separate block will be undertaken on the Western Line between Palghar and Boisar in the Virar-Dahanu section. This block will be enforced from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM to facilitate railway bridge work.
Authorities have urged passengers to stay updated via official announcements and consider alternative travel arrangements where necessary.
