Suburban rail services under Mumbai’s Central Railway (CR) zone will be affected for several hours on Sunday as CR is scheduled to carry out a mega block for engineering and maintenance works. Various city-based railway zones, which oversee the operations of the Mumbai Local network, routinely carry out maintenance works under their respective jurisdictions; these are called ‘blocks’ and are routinely undertaken on Sundays.
The following routes will be affected due to the Central Railway mega block:
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)-Vidyavihar (Up and Down slow lines) from 10:55am to 3:55pm: Down slow services leaving Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus from 10:48am to 3:49pm will be diverted to the Down fast line between CSMT and Vidyavihar stations. These will halt at Byculla, Parel, Dadar, Matunga, Sion and Kurla, and further rediverted on the Down slow line.
