Technical problem delays local train services in Mumbai suburbs

Local train services, considered as the lifeline of Mumbai and its suburbs, were delayed on Thursday morning due to a technical issue, the Central Railway (CR) said. The problem was later rectified, it said.

There was a technical problem in the S-3 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)-Karjat local between Ambarnath and Badlapur (in Thane district) on the down line, the CR said in a tweet.

The local train services on the Ambarnath-Karjat section were delayed, it said. “Technical problem in S3 local attended by staff and train re-started at 7.50 am,” the CR said in another tweet.
