Mumbai commuters brace for disruption as Western Railway (WR) announces the cancellation of 80 local trains daily starting December 21. To carry out the work in connection with the sixth line on Kandivali and Borivali section, a block of 30 days will be undertaken from the night of December 20th/21st and will continue up to January 18.
WR's chief public relations officer Vineet Abhishek said the work involves track slewing and insertion and removal of multiple crossovers at Kandivali and Borivali. Major works of the engineering, signalling and overhead equipment will be carried out, which will impact train operations. Consequently, some suburban, passenger and mail/express trains will be affected.
During the period from December 20th/21st to December 25th/26th, the block will be operated from 11 pm to 04:30 am. Due to the block and suspension of fifth line, some suburban services will remain cancelled. "For December 31 all efforts are being made to ensure unusual cancellations for the convenience for New Year celebrations," he said.
Amid the operational work that will be carried out by the authorities, the fifth line of the WR will remain suspended for passenger trains running during the block.
While the Western Railways have also affirmed that there will be speed restrictions imposed on other lines that will ultimately delay the travel time.
All trains working on the fifth line i.e mail/express and suburban trains will be operated on fast line between Andheri/Goregaon and Borivali.
The authorities have also stated that several suburban local services will be cancelled, leading to congestion and delays.
From midnight on December 20 to December 25, the block will be operated daily between 11:00 pm and 4:30 pm.
Western Railway has further issued a revised timetable for the trains operating during the mega-block.
On the night of December 20/21, a total of 7 local trains will be cancelled, including 3 up services and 4 down services.
From December 21 to December 25, 2025, 94 local trains will be cancelled each day, comprising 47 up services and 47 down services.
On December 26, 2025, 87 local trains will be cancelled, with 40 up services and 47 down services.
