To carry out maintenance work of tracks, signalling & overhead equipment, a Jumbo Block of 03.30 am will be under taken on DOWN Slow line from 01:00 am to 04:30 am while on UP Slow line a block of 4 hours will be under taken from 00:30 am to 04:30 am between Santacruz and Mahim stations in the intervening night of 29th /30th March, 2025 (Saturday/ Sunday).
According to a Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, Vineet Abhishek, during the block period, DOWN Slow line trains will be run on the DOWN Fast line between Mumbai Central (Local) and Santacruz. Due to this, local trains will have a double halt at Lower Parel, Mahim, and Khar Road stations, due to the inadequate length of the platform. These trains will not halt at Mahalaxmi, Prabhadevi, and Matunga Road stations for want of platform.
Similarly, UP Slow line trains will be run on the UP Fast line from Santacruz to Mumbai Central (Local)/Churchgate. Hence, these trains will have a double halt at Khar Road station, due to the inadequate length of the platform. These trains will not halt at Mahim, Matunga Road, Prabhadevi, Lower Parel, and Mahalaxmi stations for want of platform.
Detailed information to this effect is available with concerned Station Masters. Passengers are requested to take note of the above arrangements. Therefore, there will be NO BLOCK in DAY TIME over Western Railway Suburban section on Sunday, 30th March, 2025.
