One shower, and trust Mumbai train services to go kaput. Early this morning, several train services were cancelled after a technical glitch at Virar station.


According to railways, there was a point failure in Virar due to which trains were unable to switch tracks.


Sources said it took place around 7.30 am near platform 8 of Virar station. This point provides crossover for trains on platforms 1, 2 and 8 at Virar.  "Trains ran almost an hour late as both up (towards Churchgate) and down (towards Dahanu) services were affected," said a Western Railway official.

WR had to cancel several train services.
