Thousands of commuters were stranded at various stations when the trains stopped plying because of the heavy rains

It will take a day or two for Mumbai's lifeline to normalise services, as about 35 trains of the Central Railway, and 11 trains of Western Railway have been affected in the waterlogging due to heavy rains on Tuesday. CR officials said that they are also trying to link the train management system with the passenger address system, so that platform announcements can be done real-time to avoid communication gap. The WR already has this facility.
