Annoucing its new time-table for local train services, which will come into effect from Saturday, Central Railway (CR) authorities said that they had preponed the day's first local from Kasara by 34 minutes. The train, which earlier used to leave the station at 4:25am and reach CSMT at 7:04am, will now leave at 3:51am and reach its destination at 6:30am.

Officials said that the morning locals were crucial for many commuters, who stay in the suburbs, and was also an important link for wholesale markets and the city's supply chain. As part of the new time-table, three services have been extended to Parel and timings of existing 42 trains have been changed. However, the total number of main-line services will remain 858.
