Mumbai: Train services disrupted due to heavy rain

The sudden heavy showers in Mumbai on Tuesday hit train services, affecting both local and long-distance trains. While the CSMT-Pune Deccan Queen train was rescheduled after a glitch in the loco engine, suburban train services were also disrupted.

According to a Central Railway official, the Deccan Queen (Train number 12123) which departs Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) at 5.10 pm was rescheduled to depart at 6.10 pm. The train, which was on its way to CSMT from Pune, was detained at Thane station on Tuesday morning and later taken to CSMT via Vidyavihar, a railway official said. Several commuters complained of a delay of over two-three hours on the premium train.
