Observing a major safety lapse in the way suburban trains were being run on the harbour section of Western Railway, the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS), probably for the first time on Friday, ordered the suspension of services for a little over an hour on the CSMT-Andheri section. Services were resumed only after the railways had checked the track parameters between King’s Circle and Mahim stations, and matched them with the standard schedule of dimensions.
