Do not travel on the Central Railway (CR) Mumbai’s mainline this Sunday as the decade-old pending work of new lines between Thane and Diva finally takes shape. Train services will remain badly affected throughout the day with the 10-hour work schedule planned. The CR has formally requested the Thane Municipal Transport and the state government to run an additional 100 bus services.

A senior official said that approximately 90 (up and down) services would be affected and suburban services, especially between Kalwa and Mumbra will be affected. Work will be taken up between the Kalwa-Mumbra section on the CSMT-bound slow line from 8 am to 6 pm in connection with slewing of the line for Thane-Diva’s fifth and sixth lines.
