Central Railway commuters have been urged to check train updates before travelling during the evening rush hour on Monday, as services remained disrupted following two incidents reported on the suburban network earlier in the day. According to updates available, services in the up direction were yet to be restored to normal, while down-direction trains were running behind schedule.
Central Railway suburban services were disrupted on Monday morning after a signal failure at Kanjurmarg and an overhead equipment (OHE) issue between Thane and Mulund affected train movements.
The incidents led to train bunching and services running behind schedule, inconveniencing commuters travelling on the busy Central Railway suburban network.
Commuters reported prolonged delays, trains halting between stations and a lack of announcements, triggering angry reactions on social media, with passengers criticising railway authorities over the disruption and the lack of timely information.
