So how is Mumbai's fleet of local trains (CR & WR) being maintained in these times of lockdown? The lifeline of local trains that usually run on an average of 300 km up and down the city in multiple trips require more attention and upkeep since they are idle. Moreover, they are now been readied for the monsoon season that is set to begin by June.

While CR has a fleet of 134 local trains that make 1,774 trips (services) per day on main, harbour, trans-harbour, Khopoli and Belapur-Uran sections, the Western Railway has a fleet of 107 trains with 1,365 services every single day.
