Mumbai: AC local trains to return on Trans-Harbour section from Thursday

MUMBAI: The Central Railway (CR) on Wednesday announced the restoration of all 16 air-conditioned suburban train services on Mumbai’s Trans-Harbour line from Thursday.

The CR will also increase the number of train services on its suburban network from October 7, bringing them to nearly 96 per cent of pre-pandemic level.

The Railway had suspended AC local services, along with other suburban trains on its network in Mumbai, last year after the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent lockdown.

Though it restored regular suburban services after coronavirus-related restrictions were relaxed, AC trains were still not available to commuters.
