Western Railway, while sharing Mumbai local train updates, on Friday, said that it will undertake a jumbo maintenance block on the Harbour Line between Bandra and Goregaon stations on Sunday, June 14, 2026, to carry out essential engineering, signalling and overhead equipment (OHE) works.
The block will be in effect on both the up and down Harbour Lines from 10.30 am to 3 pm.
Due to the maintenance work, several suburban train services will remain cancelled during the block period.
According to Western Railway, all Harbour Line services operated by Central Railway between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Bandra, as well as CSMT/Panvel and Goregaon, will be suspended during the scheduled block.
In addition, some slow local services operating between Churchgate and Goregaon on the Western Railway network will also be cancelled.
Railway officials have urged commuters to take note of the temporary changes and make alternative travel arrangements wherever necessary.
The detailed list of cancelled train services will be available with station masters across the suburban railway network, Western Railway said.
The jumbo block is part of routine maintenance activities aimed at ensuring the safe and efficient operation of Mumbai's suburban railway system. The works will include maintenance of tracks, signalling systems and overhead electrical infrastructure.
Western Railway stated that such periodic maintenance is necessary to maintain safety standards and improve reliability of train services.
Meanwhile, the suburban train services on Mumbai's Harbour Line were disrupted during Friday morning's peak hour. The disruption occurred after an unidentified wire was found hanging over the overhead equipment (OHE) near Chembur station, causing delays and affecting train operations.
The fault was detected at kilometre marker 17/225 on the UP line near Chembur station at around 9:10 am. As a safety measure, train PL40 was detained after it crossed Chembur station to prevent any potential mishap.
However, the traffic on the affected stretch was restored at 9:52 am after the hanging wire was removed and the overhead equipment was declared safe for operations.
The hanging wire was noticed over the OHE, the high-voltage electric system that powers suburban trains. Soon after the incident was reported, the railway authorities immediately alerted maintenance teams, who were rushed to the site to inspect and rectify the fault.
