Commuters in Mumbai should be prepared for potential delays in local train services on the intervening night of September 30th and October 1st, 2024. The Western Railway has announced a four-hour block on the up and down fast lines at Goregaon and the up and down fast and slow lines at Malad to facilitate the ongoing construction of the sixth line between Goregaon and Kandivali Stations.
This significant infrastructure project aims to enhance train capacity and improve travel efficiency for commuters. However, the block will inevitably lead to disruptions in train services. During the block period, suburban train services are expected to face delays ranging from 20 to 30 minutes. Additionally, mail and express trains will also be subject to delays of approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
The Western Railway has advised commuters to plan their journeys accordingly, considering these potential delays. Passengers are encouraged to stay updated with the latest announcements and information from the Western Railway to minimize any inconvenience caused by the block.
